Check out Christmas Cookies To Make And Gift

by Sarah Minnesota Mama at Foodie.com

When I was younger my Mom and I would bake dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies, of all kinds, and create pretty Christmas cookie platters and deliver them to all of our family and friends. Not only did everyone look forward to receiving our famous cookie plates each year, but we always looked forward to visiting with loved ones while we delivered the pretty plates of cookies. We often didn’t get to sit and visit throughout the year and our cookie delivery tradition was the one time we could sit and visit with loved ones we rarely saw otherwise. It’s something that still sticks in my mind today.

No matter if you are only making a few cookies for your family or you are baking twelve dozen for a cookie exchange, these Christmas cookies to gift are perfect for any baking occasion this season! Make them and eat them or make pretty boxes of cookies for all your loved ones! Get some fun new recipes and some great christmas recipes handed down through the generations! I’ve got a little of everything, all gathered in one spot for you! Take a look through my Christmas cookies to make and gift collection above for even more cookie recipes than the ones pictured below. Merry Christmas and merry baking to you!

    I’ve been giving my oven a work-out. I love holiday baking, and I just can’t stop. These all look so incredible. If I don’t eat them all myself, I’d love to gift some to my neighbors.

    I make peanut butter blossoms every year at Christmas time because if I make them any other time I do declare I wouldn’t be able to fit in a door. You’re right this is a great gift idea, and I can only imagine the kind of memories this gave you and your mom. Thanks for sharing these recipe ideas. I’ve never heard of some of these, and I’ve been looking for recipes to add to my collection.

    My favorite cookie has to be either my chocolate chip cookie (the cookie dough is amazing and it’s the perfect accessory to coffee0 and Red Velvet Milkyway cookie by Picky Palate. Your collection looks very promising too. 🙂

    So much deliciousness in one post! I don’t have one particular favorite, as I have several favorite flavors – pumpkin, chocolate chip, gingerbread, spicy chocolate, oatmeal raisin, blueberry lemon, etc – I love cookies!
