Christmas cookies are a staple in our house every year. I make between 5-10 different cookies and treats to try, some favorites and some new recipes to spice things up.

Call me crazy, but I usually have my list ready to go by mid-November so I can stock up on ingredients and have everything on-hand.

This year my 2-year-old will get to help me bake! She loves being part of the “making” process as she calls it.

Whether you have a chocolate, peanut butter, gingerbread, or peppermint obsession, these cookies are for you. They’re everything from cut-out classics to unique decadent cookies.
