Cookies are a near essential part of Christmas. From leaving them out for Santa to enjoy as a kid to baking them for family and friends as an adult, the Christmas cookie has become a staple of the holiday.
No matter your taste, this festive dessert comes in a wide variety of flavors. For example, you may be more partial to the classics, such as the sugar cookie (with or without the icing) or the gingerbread man, if you can catch him.
Beyond the traditional Christmas cookie, some other variations of the holiday treat include snickerdoodles, a cookie made with cream of tartar and rolled in cinnamon sugar, or peanut butter blossoms, a peanut butter cookie with a Hershey’s Kiss on top. Additionally, there’s also spritz cookies, a smaller version of the dessert shaped with a cookie press instead of a cookie cutter.
In 2021, readers named some of their favorite holiday cookies. The write-in option was the most popular, with the spritz cookie being one of the most favored within that category. Gingerbread cookies were a close second.
