5 Best Christmas Cookie Recipes

We are coming up to the last weekend before Christmas and it isn’t too late to do some baking! I am sharing 5 of my best Christmas cookie recipes!

What is that one thing around the holidays that really get you in the festive spirit? For me it is definitely baking for Christmas!

These 5 recipes have been pinned the most, and viewed the most, especially this time of year. It isn’t uncommon for them to get when they get 1000’s of visits collectively each week this time of year.

5 best Christmas cookie recipes you will want to make this holiday season

To be fair, these are not all cookies, but also squares and tarts. I have always thought of anything that can go on a cookie platter at Christmas time to be a Christmas “cookie!

I think my favourite Christmas cookie recipes are those that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Many of these recipes that made the top 5 have been in my family for years, passed down from my grandmother, to my mother, and now to me.

And now I have passed them down to my own daughters. Which, I might add is paying off since they both of done so much baking, I only have a couple of things to make!!

So, without further adieu……

5 of my best Christmas cookie recipes

There are so many more yummy sweets that I grew up with at the holiday time, and many you can find right here on the blog! Just click the recipe tab above and all of my recipes will be listed for you to peruse.
