Christmas Cookie Roundup

Dec 11, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Christmas Cookie Roundup

It’s easy to share all of the best SweetPhi cookie recipes, but we wanted to share a few others from around the web as well.  This Christmas Cookie Roundup features some SweetPhi favorites and some from other great food bloggers and friends around the web.

We consulted a few of our friends and asked them what cookies were “must haves” during the Christmas season and here is what we came up with!

Sugar Cookies

  • This is a year after year classic in most-everyone’s house and helps solve the age-old problem of cookie spread.  If you follow this recipe, we can promise your cookies will hold their shape and come out of the oven looking great!
  • You could also get creative with your sugar cookie baking and try this chocolate sugar cookie recipe that is gluten free – a great one from Ambitious Kitchen.

Classic Gingerbread

  • There are a million gingerbread recipes out there and this one comes from The Suburban Soapbox.  We love it because you get truly classic gingerbread flavors as a result.
  • If you want to have some fun with subtle gingerbread flavor, give these gingerbread cut out cookies a try.  Great to do with kids in the kitchen!

Shortbread 

  • Joy the Baker makes this shortbread look super festive, which is always an added touch of fun.  She has tons of great cookies recipes and this is one perfect for your cookie platter.

Toasted pecan snowball cookies

  • Someone told me that they call these cookies Russian tea cakes and no matter what you call them, they are delicious and great for the winter season.

Pizzelle

  • We love this recipe from Skinnytaste.  Not only are these cookies beautiful to look at but they taste great too.  A great, light cookie option for your holiday season.

Peanut butter chocolate kiss cookies

  • A classic recipe from New York Times can be made more festive by coloring the dough – if you want to get crazy!

Candy cane shaped cookies

  • This recipe from Easy Weeknight Recipes is super fun to make with the kids and end up looking festive and fun.  But, if you don’t want to take the time to shape cookies into candy canes, try these candy cane crinkle cookies from Lauren’s Latest instead.

Spritz cookies

  • Who doesn’t love these little morsels of fun!?  You can get as creative as you want with the fun shapes and various sprinkles and toppings.  This recipe from Cookies & Cups shows you how to die the dough or stick with a classic look.

Vanilice

  • These raspberry filled vanilla cookies are a Serbian recipe meaning ‘little vanilla’ and the best part is that they actually taste better if they are made a few days ahead of time.  Winning!

Christmas crinkle cookie

  • We just love the look of these cookies, whether you stuff them with a rolo or make them with Coca-Cola (yes, you read that right), both options are delicious and beautiful to look at.

Pinwheels

  • The Salty Marshmallow hit the festive nail on the head with red and green pinwheels.  And, of course, add sprinkles on the edge for more texture and flavor.

If you’re still on the hunt for even more great cookie ideas, some of the best holiday SweetPhi recipes are still to come.  Keep reading!

Eggnog cookies, cranberry bliss cookies, chocolate dipped hazelnut
Eggnog cookies | Cranberry bliss | Chocolate dipped hazelnut

Eggnog cookies

  • A perfect take on a classic holiday drink.  These eggnog cookies give you just the right touch of eggnog flavor, but nothing too overwhelming – making them perfect for the the eggnog lover and the eggnog skeptic.

Cranberry bliss

  • The best balance of sweet and tart, these cookies look festive on any cookie platter.

Chocolate dipped hazelnut sandwich cookie

  • Hazelnuts bring a great hint of the holidays and when mixed with chocolate you can’t go wrong.  This cookie uses a hazelnut flour which is the perfect shortcut so you don’t have to grind up any nuts during your baking process!
Fudge and caramel pretzel bites

Of course we wanted to share a list of classic Christmas cookies that everyone expects to see out on the table during the holidays, but there are plenty other festive desserts that we haven’t included.  A few of our favorite (non-cookie) options are below:

  • Peppermint fudge
  • Caramel pretzel bites
  • Sea salt cups
  • Peanut butter banana fudge
