Holiday Cookies

When it comes to holiday cookies, I don’t mess around. This is hands down my favorite time of year to bake, and these recipes reflect that. From the gingersnap molasses cookies that are easily one of the most made recipes on this entire site, to buttery slice-and-bake shortbreads, rum balls, ricotta cookies, eggnog snickerdoodles, and vanilla and chocolate cut-outs that actually hold their shape. Every single one of these has been tested and perfected in my Le Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef hands. Whether you’re building a holiday cookie box or just need one showstopper for the cookie swap, you’re in the right place.
