16 Christmas Cookie Recipes

Christmas cookies are one of my absolute favorite things about the holiday season. Not only do I love to bake, but I love to eat the cookies too! I mean who doesn’t?! However, this holiday season is a bit different for me when it comes to the food, as this is my first Christmas where I am completely gluten free. Sometimes it proves itself to be challenging, but after doing some research and baking tests, we’ve learned that there are certain gluten free flours that should be used for certain baked goods. Bob’s Red Mill is a wonderful brand full of a variety of different options to choose from and my favorite brand. And a little tip, their website has printable retail coupons!

Below is a list of some Christmas cookies that are relatively easy to make and will get your mouth watering for sure! And for most of these recipes you can substitute all-purpose flour for any gluten free flour too!

1. Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss Cookies

One of my favorites, peanut butter and chocolate together all in one bite, yum!

2. Sugar Cookies

Make them into cut-outs by using your favorite holiday cookie cutters! And maybe you even want to decorate them with your friends and family, make a small party out of it, drink some hot cocoa, play some Christmas music and just have fun!

3. White Macadamia Nut Cookies

So, I have never made these particular cookies homemade, but they have always been a favorite of mine! This recipe is easy to follow and definitely one recipe I’ll be trying this year.


4. Gingerbread Cookies

Decorate them to share with your friends or preserve them to use as Christmas tree ornaments!

5. Snickerdoodles

You can't go wrong with a Christmas classic, the snickerdoodle! Yum!

6. Chocolate Chip Nutella Cookies

Drooling just looking at these. I'll probably eat the whole plate.

7. Nut Tassies

While they aren't actually cookies, they are similar to mini pecan pies, bite-sized and delicious!

8. Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

A mixture of red velvet cake and chocolate chip cookies, yes please!

9. Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

I've never made a sandwich cookie before, but they look yummy and like a lot of fun to make!

10. Chocolate Chip Cookies

The ultimate classic everyone needs on their Christmas cookie platter!

11. Hot Chocolate Cookie Cups

Cookie + hot chocolate, can you think of anything better?! Yum!

12. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

This is my dad's favorite cookie, so it is always made in our house each year for the holidays. If you aren't a fan of the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie, try and spice it up a bit by adding a can of pumpkin! They're fantastic and give the whole cookie a new and exciting flavor!

13. Russian Teacakes

Double rolled in powdered sugar, these buttery cookies melt in your mouth and were made by my grandmother almost each year for Christmas.

14. Peppermint Swirl Cookies

What better way to spread Christmas cheer than with peppermint? And cookies, of course! Give these a try, you won't be disappointed!

15. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Soft and chewy chocolate cookies sprinkled with powdered sugar. As a lover of chocolate, this cookie is definitely calling my name!

16. Christmas Tree Cookies

Show off your creative side by decorating your own edible Christmas trees!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
