If Santa Claus comes to town in 2020, he may wear a mask and wash his hands before he searches for those chocolate chip cookies inside your house. But if Santa is already adjusting to our new normal this year, why not give him a new, exciting cookie to bite into as well?
Well if you’re looking for new cookie recipes for Santa or just your family, you’re in luck! Here are nine Christmas cookie recipes you can enjoy after your hearty Christmas meal.
1. Sunny Day Snowman Cookies
Nothing is better than creating your own snowman out of icing and marshmallows. Just follow the recipe and customize it to create your favorite snowman, like Frosty or Olaf..
2. Double-Decker Chocolate Cherry Cookies
This cookie is filled with many flavours and ingredients because you actually bake up two different cookie doughs. Don’t worry, though; the flavours come together like magic! And for all the chocolate lovers, you’ll rejoice over the combination of cherry and cocoa.
3. Watercolor Snowflake Cookies
Want to bake something that resembles the Christmas ornaments and the snow? If so, you can perhaps try these snowflake-shaped cookies, finished with colorful icing. All you need to do is choose two colors of icing and slightly mix them together. Trust me, you’ll surprise Bob Ross in no time.
4. Vegan Gingerbread Cookie
If you want to try something new, make these vegan gingerbread cookies that use more natural ingredients. The recipe is not only good for vegans, but for those who love that pinch of maple syrup and almond milk in the middle of winter. Once you master the recipe, try to construct a vegan gingerbread house!
5. Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies
At first glance, this cookie may seem like a deviation of the regular chocolate chip cookie. But once when you take a bite, you realize how different it tastes. Coupled with the richness of red velvet and the sweetness of white chocolate chips, you’ll gulp the dessert down in no time. Just make an extra batch for Santa or give him the recipe.
6. Buttercream Filled Maple Sandwich Cookies
We’ve all seen the buttercream cookies packaged and sold by high-end dessert brands. But what if I tell you that you can make those tasty treats all on your own? Everyone loves whipped cream, icing, and maple syrup. Imagine combining them into a simplistic-designed cookie — yum. Find the recipe on Food Network.
7. Crushed Candy Cane Chocolate Chip Cookies
Candy canes don’t only go on the tree— you can throw them into cookie recipes like this one as well. If you’re on the run and want to bake a quick and easy recipe, smash some candy canes up and put them in a batch of cookie dough. Less than half an hour later, you’ll be running out of the house with a delicious box of cookies!
8. Chocolate Peppermint Patties
If you’re too lazy to turn your oven on, you’ve come to the right place. This recipe is great for the mint and chocolate lover who doesn’t want to bake. However, you must have patience when making this recipe because it may take up to two weeks for the cookies to be ready.
9. Frosty Polar Bears
Holidays are not all about reindeers. In fact, polar bears play an important role in the winter season too. If you’re a fan of animals, consider making this recipe and surprise your friends.
