Christmas Cookie Round-Up

One of my favorite parts about the holiday season is all of the baking! I love baking, and being in college, I am deprived of delicious, homemade baked goods. So, I take full advantage of my time at home and making amazing cookies, cakes, brownies, you name it. I originally wanted to do a Christmas room tour, but if you watch my vlogs, you know I didn’t really decorate my room this year. And then, I wanted to do a gingerbread cookie post. Well I’ve run out of time and that’s a lot of effort in baking and decorating the cookies, let alone trying to photograph each step without getting my camera covered in batter or icing.

To keep things a little cleaner and a lot less sticky, I decided to do a Christmas cookie round-up! I love doing these because it’s a ton of recipes all in one place. Check out my favorites below. (All of the pictures link directly to the source blog and each blog is hyperlinked in the caption)

3 Ingredient Buttery Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread is one of my many weaknesses in life. It’s so buttery and flaky and just delicious. It’s probably the main contributor to my holiday weight gain, haha.

Candy Cane Kiss Cookies

This is a holiday twist on the classic peanut butter Hershey kiss cookies. I personally like these so much better. Just look how cute they are! Festive sprinkles, sugar cookies, and peppermint white chocolate Hershey kisses. Perfection.

Chocolate Crinkles

These are a holiday favorite in my house. Well, not just a holiday favorite. More like a year-round favorite. These are not too overpowering in the chocolate department and they’re not too sweet either. Highly recommend.

Confetti Cake Batter Cookies

Cake batter and holiday sprinkles. I’m in love. I’ve not tried these but I mean how can you go wrong with holiday sprinkles and cake batter. If you try these, let me know!

Ina’s Coconut Macaroons

Coconut macaroons. Again, another holiday favorite in my house. We love coconut and these are amazing. I feel like I say that about every cookie but, cookies are my favorite dessert.

Spiced Gingerbread Man Cookies

And finally, the classic gingerbread man. These are so much fun to make and eat! I usually make gingerbread men or a gingerbread house every year, but I don’t think I’ll have time this year… 🙁 Mine never look this good though, haha.

What are your favorite holiday cookie recipes? Do you go for the classic gingerbread or do you like to spice things up with something different? And yes that pun was totally unintentional but it worked, haha.

Happy Holidays!!
