Over 30+ Cookie Recipes that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends this holiday season. Nothing is better than cookie trays during the holidays. Nothing.
I love holiday baking. There’s just something about the smell of cookies baking during the holiday season that just makes me so utterly happy. Nothing beats the aroma of fresh cookies baking to perfection. The soft batter, the smell of vanilla and chocolate drifting from room to room. It’s heavenly.
Usually I start baking on December 1. Once the month officially changes I’m in the kitchen baking up a storm. Whether it’s cookies, fudge, candy, or simmering some hot chocolate, if it’s December there’s some kind of holiday sweet happening in my kitchen on a daily basis. You can bank on it.
Holiday recipes abound this time of year. I tend to favour all things chocolate, but honestly as long as it’s sweet I’m happy. If you are looking for something specific this holiday season you can use my search bar by typing in what you’re looking for. You can also check my recipe index. Or just email me.
I love hearing from readers so if you have something you’re looking for or need help with a recipe just email me and I’ll do my best to help you out. Nothing feels better than being able to help someone find a recipe that their whole family falls in love with. That’s why I do this job.
Plus the perks are amazing. I mean I get to cook and bake for a living. Then I get to eat all the things I cooked and baked. My life is not hard. At all. In fact it’s pretty wonderful. I’m seriously looking forward to tomorrow when the baking marathon begins. I can’t wait to make more cookies.
In the meantime I’m just going to keep scrolling back and forth through all these amazing cookie recipes. Be sure to pin all your favourites so you can bake them for the holidays. Or send the link to your friends and family so they can bake for you. It’s all good. Whatever works for you!
