20 must-have holiday cookies

TIS THE SEASON.

For cookies. For gifting. For love. For sugar.

I like to combine all of the above by giving homemade baked good gifts every year. I mean, what says I love you more than a dozen cookies perfectly picked out for your favorite person(s). Sure, diamonds, okay, but cookies are a close second.

Here’s a list of my 20 most favorite cookie recipes from the past 5 (almost 6!) years of Eats Well With Others history! And make sure you scroll down to the bottom to see how you can enter to win a KITCHENAID STAND MIXER. Because, yes, I love you that much (and more).

    I love this cookie post, Joanne! Everything looks so delicious – loving that cornflake cookie; it sounds insane! And I love me some rainbow cookies…making my batch soon!

  2. Lookie here!! SO many awesome cookies friend…dying…I need them all.

  3. How can one choose? I love all the browned butter ones of course but your festive macarons and sprinkled cookies are to die for too!!

  4. I can’t choose just one! They’re all so cute!!

  5. cheri says:

    Love your cookie line-up Joanne. Great give-away too!

  6. What a lineup, Joanne! My husband still talks about those Salt-N-Pepper sandwich cookies that we were lucky enough to get to try…so. amazing.

  7. Beth says:

  10. Oh, I do love the look of those Italian Rainbow Cookies!

  11. Hotly Spiced says:

    What a great giveaway. You’d be horrified to hear that in Oz we have to pay around $800 for a Kitchen Aid. I don’t know why we get so ripped-off. I agree that handmade gifts make the best gifts – but only if you’re not in a position to be giving diamonds xx

  12. Wish I could enter this giveaway, especially as Charlie said, it is so expensive here! Love the multitude of cookies, where to start? 😀

    Cheers

    Thanks for posting all these cookies. Need to figure out which cookies to make for the holidays. Of course my number one cookie is the Italian Rainbow Cookie. I may make the rainbow cake instead!

  14. Johanna GGG says:

    thank you for the virtual feast – I really wanted a taste of each but I particularly was excited by the ones with white choc chips – I have been wondering what to do with some leftovers and now I have a tyranny of choice

  15. I made peanut butter cookies yesterday and thought of you 🙂

  16. Kelly says:

    These all look delicious! I am in full holiday baking mode so I always need ideas on what cookie to make next! Love the rainbow cookies!

  17. Oh, man. I want ALL of the cookies in mah belly. Seriously drool-worthy line-up, Joanne!

  18. Sarah says:

    Yum! The snickerdoodle cookes and snickerdoodle macarons are my favorite!

  19. So many great recipes, but those brown sugar cookies still rock my world!

  20. Kate says:

    Love that my favorite Passover cookies are also Christmas cookies!

  21. Reeni says:

    I need some almond horns asap! They rock.

  22. Acck, cookies! Now I want to try one of each. Especially the Roasted Almond, Chocolate Chip, Cacao Nib Cookies with Smoked Sea Salt — just whaaaat. And SHINY, a KitchenAid mixer! I kind of love finding new Pinterest accounts by talented people like you guys. So that was kind of a win for me — even if I don’t win anything. Ha.
