The wonderful smell of fresh-baked cookies will bring any child running to the kitchen to find delicious holiday treats. See the best Christmas cookies recipesalong with our old favorites.
It’s the only time that I have this many sweets in the house. We always do the sugar cookies so that the kids can decorate them too. Although they’re just as delicious to eat, it’s the decorating that’s the fun part.
We do a lot more baking around the holidays and it’s always a treat to find new recipes that we can add to our regular rotation.
