A Ranking of the Ten Best Christmas Cookies

During the holiday season, many houses tend to collect a large plethora of cookies that seem to always be there, even after Christmas has passed. The cookies seem to linger in households well after Christmas, causing unasked for weight gain that plagues the most innocent of consumers. It’s true, you really just can’t have one. But, not all cookies are created equal! Here is the super official ranking of the top 10 types of Christmas cookies.

10. Seven Layer Bars.

They’re just one of those cookies you make every year that never really go over well but you continue to make them anyway.

9. Gingerbread cookies.

Definitely overrated, but they’re incredibly fun to decorate.

8. The sugar cookie.

Can you say boring? Cookies need pizazz; something that these cookies tend to lack.

7. Snowball cookies.

These cookies are very versatile and are often times filled with an unexpected twist. They’re also visually appealing because they look like, well, a snowball. It helps with the Christmas spirit.

6. Those really cool Wreath cookies.

They’re cute, yummy, and easy to make. Sounds like the whole package.

5. Oatmeal Raisin.

Hear me out. When made properly, these cookies are the ones that take you by surprise. So when you’re piling the cookies on your plate on Christmas, don’t be upset when you get one of these instead of chocolate chip.

4. Snickerdoodles.

Cinnamon. Sugar. Enough said.

3. The classic chocolate chip.

A good way to spice this one up for the holidays is by using the cute little green and red chocolate chips instead of regular ones. Bam. Christmas spirit.

2. English Toffee Bars.

Okay not technically a cookie, but it’s close enough. But if you’ve never had one, you’re missing out.

1. Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss Cookies.

AKA, the ultimate Christmas cookie. I mean, you never even see these served at any other time other than Christmas. And can we talk about the unbeatable peanut butter cookie/decadent Hershey Kiss combo? Delightful.
