10 GREAT HOLIDAY COOKIE RECIPES
Baking cookies with family and friends in a warm, cozy kitchen is the holiday season highlight for which there is no substitute. From classic gingerbread and chocolate chip to snickerdoodles and snowballs, here are the top Swans Down family favorites that can be baked easily from scratch to enjoy fresh from the oven or to box up and give as gifts – and preferably both!
Gingerbread Cookies
Made-from-scratch gingerbread cookies will fill your house with the spicy aromas of the holiday season. Frost them with funny faces and clothing to make the kids laugh!
Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Chewy and chocolatey, these look fancy, but they’re easy. Rolling cookie dough in confectioner’s sugar pulls moisture from the cookie’s surface, resulting in the delightful cracked and “crinkly” look.
Holiday Sugar Cookies
The tradition we keep coming back to every year, these simple, classic sugar cookies are a hallmark of the holidays. Get out the cookie cutters and make your favorite shapes.
Chocolate-Drizzled Coffee Shortbread
Flavored with coffee and topped with melted chocolate, these gorgeous shortbread cookies pack nicely in a box or tin to give as gifts.
Snickerdoodle Cookies
An American cookie tradition at its best! These vanilla cookies are rolled in cinnamon sugar and full of holiday season flavor loved by kids of all ages.
Chai-Stuffed Vanilla Crinkle Cookies
So pretty! These classic homemade vanilla sugar cookies are dusted with sugar and deliver a delicious burst of chai spice in the center.
Mexican Sprinkle Cookies
These festive, easy-to-make sugar cookies are a mainstay in pastry shops in Mexico and beyond. They’re soft and buttery on the inside and covered in crunchy, colorful sprinkles on the outside.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
There’s truly nothing like a hot, freshly baked, gooey chocolate chip cookie made with Swans Down® Cake Flour. Add walnuts, pecans or peanuts for a nutty version of this beloved comfort cookie.
Icebox Cookies
Simple and delicious, these holiday cookie classics can be baked from scratch easily and quickly with just a few ingredients.
