The holidays aren’t complete in our house without the smell of cookies baking in the oven. One tradition I’ve always loved is baking for the holidays. We host Christmas Eve, and we put together cookie plates to hand out to friends and family each season. These easy Christmas cookie recipes are some of the cookies that we come back to year after year because they’re festive, easy, and always a hit.
Now that our daughter is old enough, this tradition has become even more special. She loves helping me plan which cookies we’ll make and do all the baking. We make a day of it. I miss our kids being young, but I cherish this time I get with them when they want to help mom with a tradition I started when they were born. Having a go-to list of Christmas cookies makes holiday baking simpler and a lot more fun.
