Cookies seem to be an integral part of holiday festivities, so I’ve rounded up 10 holiday cookie recipes that are my go-tos. Although decorated ones add an extra special touch, there isn’t always time to decorate, so these ones are delicious on their own too!

There’s something so cosy about baking in the winter time, and eating and sharing Christmas cookies always brings about feelings of nostalgia for me. My mother always made a variety of traditional Swiss cookies (the recipes of which I’ll be sharing here eventually), and shared them on December 6th for St. Nicholas day, as well as for Christmas. The cookie roundup here are all cut out cookies, I hope you have a lovely time making and eating them!

Traditional Gingerbread Cut Outs

You can’t go wrong with traditional gingerbread cookies! This recipe works well for gingerbread houses too.

Classic Sugar Cookies

These one have holiday “chocolate chips” in them, but make them with or without the chips, the cookie base is the same delicious classic!

Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Kind of reminiscent of a cookie brownie, this is one of my most popular recipes. If you’re a chocolate fan, these are definitely a must make.

Snickerdoodle Cut Out Cookie

Sugar and spice and everything nice… a hint of cinnamon, crisp on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside, this recipe is a fun twist on the classic sugar cookie.

Candy Cane Rollout Cookies

Classic Christmas candy cane mixed with tasty sugar cookies, a dreamy holiday cookie!

Chocolate Chip Cut Out Cookie

Chocolaty goodness combined with classic roll out sugar cookies – chocolate chip cut out cookies.

Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

A delicious chocolaty twist on a holiday favorite, fragrant gingerbread mixed with decadent chocolate.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Rollout Cookies

Oatmeal doesn’t seem to be a common holiday ingredient, but they’re so yummy and easy to make.

Peanut Butter Cut Out Cookies

The perfect, keep-its-shape, slightly crispy, peanut buttery goodness cut-out cookie recipe.

Cookies n’ Cream Cut Outs

What more is there to say but, yum yum! Cookies and cream cut out cookies!

Egg Nog Cut Out Cookie

So simple to make, and if you make the eggnog from scratch, you’ll have plenty leftover to sip, bake and decorate!

Hot Chocolate Rollout Cookie

Dunk them in a cup of hot chocolate or have them as is. These ones have adorable mini marshmallows in them and chocolate cookie crumbs, so yummy!
