30 simple cookie recipes for the holidays

The holidays are upon us and that means baking and cooking more than usual. But with these simple cookie recipes, you can get your holiday baking done.

Cookies are an amazing dessert, a perfect gift, and really just the right sweet treat on the go (depending on the cookie, you can definitely snack and walk). And there are plenty of delicious options if you are looking to make the holidays happen in style. With cookie recipes that are relatively simple and easy to get done in a short period of time, you can make this season merrier than ever.

From the classics like chocolate chip and sugar cookies to the more elaborate choices like the chocolate crinkle cookie or the Santa’s Trash cookies, you are going to find something new to love and indulge in this season. In fact, we think you will fall in love with more than one of these cookies.

And considering the holidays are always a good time to enjoy a sweet treat, you will love the variety of flavors on offer. Of course, there are also a few options that are not quite as sweet, and even one that is gluten-free, so at least you will (hopefully) find at least one choice that appeals to your taste buds. So, get to baking and remember that this is a season of giving too.
