How pretty are these? Jennifer describes these German Christmas cookies as “somewhere between a macaroon and a meringue…both a little bit crunchy and a little bit chewy.”

I’ve made a whole lot of cake mix cookies in my lifetime, and at Christmas, anything red velvet has my vote!

I have no idea what Santa’s cookie preferences are, but M&M cookies are among my favorites, so….
10. Eggnog Sugar Cookie Bars – Mandy’s Recipe Box
I drink as much eggnog as possible around the holidays (this could be why the only articles of clothing I want to wear right now are yoga pants?) so eggnog cookies seem like a natural extension of that obsession…

Two words: red.wine. These brownies are rich but not cloying and full of unexpected flavor!

With a bite of spicy ginger, warm cloves and cinnamon, and the deep rich sweetness of molasses, these ginger snaps are a perfect cookie to warm Santa up after a cold night of gift deliveries.

These remind me of those über-addictive Lofthouse cookies that I cannot purchase at the grocery store because my husband doesn’t like them and therefore I would eat the whole package…

Oreos are good, but homemade chocolate sandwich cookies put Oreos to shame. Don’t take my word for it – make these yourself!
