25 Festive Cookies You’ll Want to Make Every Christmas

I think that baking cookies is probably one of my favorite Christmas traditions. We always seem to be adding new favorites to our list, which has become quite long over the years—making it hard to decide which ones to bake each season!

Of course, there are the traditional cookies we can never skip—like Grandma’s chocolate chip cookies or those Italian ones dipped in chocolate and filled with raspberry jam (seriously, one of the best recipes out there!). But every year, we seem to discover a few more we can’t resist.

Whether your holiday traditions include baking cookies to leave out for Santa, packaging treats for neighbors, or sending a platter to a classroom party, there are so many fun options to try.

I’ve rounded up a collection of favorite Christmas cookie recipes from other bloggers, along with a few of our own family favorites, to help you plan for your next cookie swap, Christmas party, or cozy baking weekend at home.
