Christmas cookies are a widely known tradition for lots of people all over the world. Baking and decorating them with family or friends is one of the most popular activities to do during the season. Either gifting them to friends or even leaving them for Santa on Christmas eve they are a big part of the holidays.
There is a big variety for cookies in stores or to bake these days, but gingerbread cookies are the best Christmas cookies. Traditionally made with ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg these cookies are a good mix of sweet and savory.
These spiced cookies can be eaten or even displayed for Christmas. Making gingerbread men and houses is a popular activity that involving these cookies too. Gingerbread is one of the most iconic cookies especially for the Christmas season. The iconic gingerbread story in Shrek , The Gingerbread Man, makes these cookies one of the most loved and one of the most popular during this time. These classic Christmas cookies are a household favorite to me and many others. I would recommend them if you are planning to make cookies this year.
Every Christmas my family and I gather around and make the gingerbread cookies using that recipe. Everyone really enjoys them and we spend the day picking at them until only crumbs are left.
