5 holiday cookies

Now that finals are over, it’s officially (finally? haha) time to get in the holiday spirit and that includes baking. Baking cookies to be exact. Every year, I bake a ridiculous amount of cookies to give to family and friends. My kitchen practically turns into a cookie factory – every inch of every surface is covered in cookies. I think I get my fill of baking for the entire year during the few days leading up to the delivery of my cookies. Every year I like to change it up and add a new cookie to the mix, last year it included classic sugar cookies, chocolate ginger molasses cookies, gingerbread, and chocolate peppermint cookies. This year I haven’t quite decided what the new cookie will be, but I’m working on a couple of new recipes for the season. What cookies would you include in the mix this year? Any flavour combinations you’re particularly into right now?

Cookies waiting to be decoratedFrom last year: a bunch of cookies waiting to be decorated. From Instagram.

I’ve gone backing through the Living Lou archives to pull up 5 great holiday cookies for your holiday baking. Baking cookies is one of my favourite things to do at this time of year – put on some great holiday music (I’m loving this holiday playlist on Songza.)

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies these were a new addition to the cookies last year – really delicious and easy to decorate!

Chocolate Snow Caps are always a popular choice at this time of year.

Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies might be my favourite holiday cookie. You might even say they’re my signature cookie – whatever the holiday party, I always have a batch of these in hand.

Ginger Molasses Cookies are a classic, comforting cookie.

Chocolate Orange Snow Caps with this cookie I wanted to combine two typical festive flavours – it took a while to perfect, but if you’re a fan of this combination, give these a try.

I think I’m sensing a bit of a chocolate theme here – can you tell I’m obsessed?

Food for thought

How do you feel about holiday baking? Do you enjoy it as much as I do?

    Oh yeah Lou! Obsessed is a better word to describe it! I currently have 5 different kinds of cookies in my freezer waiting for my friends and family!
