One of my favorite, favorite, FAVORITE things about Christmas is all the baking. I love to back Christmas cookies with my family. I have 4 family favorites that I have previously blogged about, put together in this one post.

Easy Christmas Cookie Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER STARS

Number one is super easy cookie: peanut butter stars. It starts with a premade peanut butter cookie mix, making it super quick. They are the perfect chewy cookie with a chocolate treat.

CHRISTMAS MONSTER COOKIES

These fantabulous monster cookies (aka Wookies: big, chewy, and brown) are jazzed up for the holidays with the addition of festive Christmas M&Ms.

DARK CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT SWIRL COOKIES

These are Fofo’s favorite cookies: dark chocolate peppermint cookies! A dark chocolate cookie base is topped with a candy cane kiss. A decadent Christmas treat.

Peppermint Cookies

SOFT GLAZED SUGAR COOKIES

Christmas is incomplete without super soft sugar cookies topped with frosting, or in this case an easy spreadable glaze so the kids can help! Because after all, what good are cookies without someone to share them with?!

Sugar Cookies

What are your favorite Christmas cookies? What do you love most about the holidays?

    Ooooh, all of these look great! Now where do I pin this? My Christmas board or my cookie board. The stress! The angst!

    I love my mom’s whipped shortbread cookies. Toffee Cornflake cookies are pretty darn good too.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Wishing you a lovely weekend.
    xoxo

    My husband would love those monster cookies! In our house, it’s not really Christmas unless there are spritz cookies in the shape of wreaths, dyed green and topped with red hots.
