🍪🎄 Our favorite holiday cookies

Classics for a reason [Free shipping on orders $99+ ends tonight]( [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 525 [Holiday Butter Cookies]( Kye Ameden Associate Recipe Editor The average American will eat (only?) 24 holiday cookies this season. I don't know about you, but at King Arthur, we plan to be above average — in both eating and baking. Care to join us as we bake our way through the holiday cookie classics? Start with a buttery sugar cookie that holds its shape when baked and has the perfect tender-crisp texture: behold, [Holiday Butter Cookies]( (above). And if you're after [Gingerbread Cookies](, these pleasantly chewy ones are the platonic ideal, spiced with ginger, cinnamon, and allspice. In need of [cookie cutters](? We have those, too. With the basics covered, it's time for some chocolate, like these [Chocolate Crinkle Cookies](. Fudgy in the middle and snowy white on the outside, these cookies please kids and adults alike. If you want to boost your crinkles without departing too far from the original, add [espresso powder]( to the dough for deep, chocolatey flavor. And for those who can't imagine the holidays without them, we have a (highly reviewed!) recipe for [Peanut Butter Blossoms](. [Italian Rainbow Cookies]( are another traditional treat often served around the holidays. It starts with [almond paste]( (pick up a bag of [almond flour]( to make your own!), and it ends with red, white, and green layers of almondy cookie-like cake bars. If you love the look of the old school version but want to make something more original, try our [Chocolate Ombre Cake Bars](. Packed with chocolate ([cocoa]( and [wafers](), these will be the first item to disappear at a cookie swap. Another staple of festive cookie plates? [Snowball Cookies](, of course! Buttery, pleasantly sandy, and coated in [sugar]( (that'll probably get all over your sweater), these cookies are easy to make. The basic version is scented with [vanilla](, but there are versions for all those seeking unexpected flavors of snowballs: [Lemon](, [key lime](, and [coconut](. (Who knew snowballs could get tropical?) Remember, classics are classic for a reason! And if you're looking for even more cookie options, [check out this list of forty-three (!) of our all-time favorites](.
