Holiday Cookie Recipes

I don't know about y'all but cookies are one of my favorite things about the holiday season! Now, I pride myself on being a "Cookie Connoisseur."

I can remember going over to my grandmother's house on Christmas Day and trying at least a dozen different kinds of cookies. I have combed the internet and selected some of my favorite holiday cookie recipes for you to try this holiday season!

Classic Sugar Cookies

You cannot go wrong with this classic cookie. Crispy on the outside and slightly soft in the middle....decorated and then devoured!

Gingerbread Cookies

Nothing smells like the holidays more than ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, which you will find in these delectable gingerbread cookies!

Lemon Ricotta Cookies

These lemon cookies will add the perfect touch of citrus to your dessert table!

Snickerdoodles

Not only are Snickerdoodles super easy to make, but they are also delicious!

Peanut Butter Blossoms

I am a firm believer in the power of peanut butter. This delicious cookie features smooth peanut butter AND peanut butter chips! "Drool"

Peppermint Fudge

The holidays are not complete without fudge! This delicious recipe only takes 10 minutes to make!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are great year-round, but especially during the holidays dipped in coffee or hot cocoa! Yummmmm!
