The holiday season can be really busy, so we put together a round-up of our favorite easy Christmas Cookie Recipes with few ingredients to help make your life a little easier.
Most of these recipes use ingredients that you probably have on hand right now! You can still whip up a batch of Christmas favorites in a matter of minutes.
All of these recipes have less than 10 ingredients (some of them have only 3-4 ingredients!). We love easy no-bake cookie recipes and even cookies made from a cake mix!
Check out all of the yummy recipes below – we are sure that you will find a few new holiday favorites in this amazing collection of recipes!
How many days before Christmas can I bake cookies?
There are some cookies that can be made up to 2-3 months in advance (just place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze until you are ready to eat them). We let them thaw at room temperature for 12-24 hours before eating them.
If you are not freezing your cookies, some cookies are good for up to 4-7 days if kept at room temperature. They can sometimes last up to 10 days if kept in the fridge.
What cookies stay fresh the longest?
Drier cookies (like gingersnaps, shortbread cookies, or butter cookies) will stay fresher for longer because they have very little moisture in them.
What is the most popular cookie in the world?
In America, the most popular cookie is the chocolate chip cookie.
If you need a good chocolate chip cookie recipe, our Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies are a fan-favorite!
