Sugar cookies are a staple of the season, mostly because they lend themselves so easily to cookie cutters and decorating. Green sprinkles, red icing, and all the delicious nostalgic storytelling in between makes this a favorite recipe.
Another popular holiday cookie that comes in many fun holiday shapes is a gingerbread cookie. What makes this variety so special is that it’s dairy free, refined sugar free, gluten free, paleo, raw-friendly, AND vegan. Fun for everyone!!

4. Peppermint Crunch Snowballs
Love cookies, but hate how many bites it takes to finish one? The Peppermint Crunch Snowball will be your new best friend! They’re just the minty, melt-in-your-mouth goodness you didn’t realize you were looking for.
In a similar vein, and despite their name having nothing to do with anything that conjures up holidays or chilly weather, Mexican Wedding Cookies are a popular addition to cookie platters this time of year. Must be the pecans. Or their snowball-ish appearance.
6. Red Velvet Peanut Butter Blossom
They’re just SO pretty. And shimmery. I didn’t know shimmery was something I looked for in a cookie, but now that I see it? Yes. Yes please.
