Each year I look forward to having the opportunity to do some holiday baking. I have included 4 holiday cookie recipes here with printable recipe cards.

There is just something about giving into the decadence of the holidays and passing on my love for baking to my kids. It is a life skill, and baking cookies is a great way to make homemade Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends.

With so many holiday cookie recipes available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Below are four tried and true holiday cookie recipes that you can make with with your kids.
