17 Easy Christmas Cookie Recipes - What's Gaby Cooking
December 1, 2025 - If you love chewy Christmas cookie recipes these Peanut Butter Cookies fit the bill. Anything that’s slightly undercooked in the middle is the name of the game. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside – it’s my idea of perfection. This is hands down one of my favorite cookie recipes. These chocolate chip cookies are perfectly baked, gooey on the inside, and slightly crispy on the outside, the best part is that this particular recipe falls under the "easy chocolate chip cookie recipes" category, like so easy that even Thomas can make them 🙂 .

My MIL, a talented baker, has made clear she will not share her recipes :( and i am super eager to turn on the oven and bake my first cookie batch in our new home! If our cookies turn out better than hers - I would be even happier!

If you can please point me in the right direction with some scrumptious, festive (yet easy- if possible) cookie recipes, I would be incredibly thankful.

Easy Sugar Cookie Recipe (With Icing!) - Sugar Spun Run
December 1, 2021 - Introducing the actual best sugar cookie recipe! My recipe makes simple, versatile vanilla sugar cookies; the dough is easy to roll and to work with and doesn’t spread when baking, so your cookies will always have sharp, defined edges! You can decorate these cookies with sanding sugar, or you can use my recipe below for a simple (and tasty!) pipe-able sugar cookie icing (one that’s not royal icing!). If you’re looking for perfect cut-out Christmas sugar cookies, ones that hold their shape and don’t spread in the oven, come together easily with no strange ingredients, and that actually taste incredible, too, I’ve got you covered this year.
