5 Delicious Holiday Cookie Recipes
Holiday Cookie Recipe #1: Classic Sugar Cookie & Vanilla Buttercream
My classic sugar cookie recipe is so soft and tender! It’s perfect for a kid-friendly activity for any holiday. (I’m showing Halloween cookies, but you can easily turn this into any holiday theme with different cookie cutters!) Plus, this vanilla buttercream pairs so well with it. Or, you could also try this buttercream recipe that is perfect for frosting cookies. I hope you and your kiddos have some fun with this recipe with cookie cutters and decorating!
Holiday Cookie Recipe #2: Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Glaze
This pumpkin cookie with maple glaze recipe is a family fall staple at my house. It has been in my family for years, so of course I had to include it in this cookie recipe post! The maple glaze paired with the pumpkin cookie is such a game changer! Just be sure to spread the glaze on the cookie immediately after its made to help it spread easily.
Holiday Cookie Recipe #3: Butter Pecan Caramel Cookies
These butter pecan caramel cookies are one of my new recipes! The flavor combination is sooo incredible! The pecan butter mixed with the caramel makes the perfect balance of sweet and salty. This recipe could easily become one of your favorite fall cookies.
Holiday Cookie Recipe #4: Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are always in season, right? It’s such a classic cookie, and it never gets old. It’s a national favorite and my chocolate chip cookies could become your new go-to recipe! I did tons of taste-testing different chocolate chip cookies, so believe me when I say I perfected the chocolate chip cookie!
I love this cookie recipe so much that I transformed it into my Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, and it’s a fan favorite so far!

I thought my snickers cookies would be a fun cookie recipe to add to the list because it has Snickers inside as the secret ingredient!

If Snickers is your favorite candy, especially to snack on during the holidays, this recipe will easily become your favorite.
