Seasons Sweetings

Sugar cookies are perhaps the most versatile cookie you can make—it can be transformed into an amazing array of shapes and colors for your seasonal display. Try the all-time classic look of our Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies. Brightly-colored cream cheese frosting lets you get creative in the kitchen, adding a blast of greens, reds, and golds to the cookie tray. For a simpler option that still looks great, make a batch of 3-Ingredient Marbled Holiday Sugar Cookies. Save some time, and wow your guests with a stunning swirl of Christmas colors.

The Cookies of Christmas

If you’re one of those people that wants to fill the whole house with holiday cheer—and we bet you are—cookies are a delicious way to bring festive joy to every corner. Easy Reindeer Cookies transform simple gingerbread dough and snacks into adorable mascots for your holiday table. It’s one of the most fun-shaped cookies on the list, and you don’t even need a cookie cutter!

Let the whole family get in on the seasonal sweetness with Swirly Christmas Tree Cookies. Little fingers get to help shape the swirly Christmas trees and pop in the sweet, candy ornaments, just like they help decorate the full-sized tree in the living room.

Simple and Spectacular

Sometimes the best cookies are the ones you can whip up quickly. Fast prep, a short ingredient list, and simple steps offer a huge range of benefits that are hard to overstate. Not only do you cut down on the time between you and a fresh baked cookie, but you also simplify shopping and save money. Our 3-Ingredient Sugar Cookie Truffles require just three ingredients. A quick trip to the grocery store is all it takes to get a shareable, poppable treat. Change up the colors of the sprinkles, and you’ve got a perfect, simple dessert for any holiday of the year.

When prep is approachable, it creates opportunities to get the whole family involved. Bake a batch of Basic Iced Holiday Sugar Cookies and let the kids help mix the dough or decorate with icing. There’s no age too young to discover that cookies taste even better when you’ve helped make them.
