Christmas cookies! It’s safe to say that the little kid in all of us perks up at the thought of baking those Christmas cookies just in time for the big guy to arrive. Growing up, we always stuck to a classic family recipe; sugar cookies with no frosting, but a whole lot of sprinkles. (Well the first cookie sheet usually received a lot more attention and patience than the rest… so we always had a few pretty plain cookies by the end.) Still to this day, my family enjoys the classic recipe, but with their own spin on it. My aunt makes them extra thin for a delicate bite, and my mom always lets them be a bit cakier for a soft, almost bread-y bite. Either way, biting into those sugar cookies still marks Christmastime every year for me!
I know we’re usually sans-frosting when making our cookies at home, but I realize thanks to Pinterest that there are so many absolutely stunning and super tasty sugar cookies out there. So I rounded up a few of the best Christmas sugar cookies for Santa in the slideshow above. Simply click on the image and don’t be surprised if you’re licking your lips before you’re through!
