It’s the first Friday of December which means we are in the thick of holiday prep! No Famous Fridays today—thought I’d send you into the weekend with a little cookie roundup instead in case you want to get a jump on your holiday baking. Plus now that I’ve posted 90 (WHAT?!!) cookie recipes on the site, it’s easy for me to forget about some of my long time favorites, so this compilation is as much for me as it is for you.

The list below includes all different sorts of treats—some more traditionally holidayish than others and I tried to group them in terms of flavors but no matter which you make,, all would be perfect for cookie platters, giving as gifts or just having around for people to munch on because it’s that time of the year!!

So without further ado, let’s connect with our inner Cookie Monsters and break out those rimmed baking sheets and sprinkles, cause it’s time for the awesomeness of holiday cookies!!! YUM!!!

LemonDrops—so pretty with the powdered sugar, they melt in your mouth.
Lemon Cornmeal Cookies—quite possibly my favorite cookie of all time that is non-chocolate
Lemon Poppy Seed Shortbread—for lemon lovers—tart and buttery with the added crunch of poppy seeds.
Jenny’s Lemon Cherry Biscotti—my sister’s specialty, perfect for dunking. Long lasting too!
Pecan Sandies—a classic that seem especially right for the holidays.

Crunchy Jumbles—my mom’s specialty, easy and a real crowd pleaser. Easy to double.
The Melted Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie—no cookie list would be complete without a traditional chocolate chip cookie—this one is my current fav.

I’d love to know what your favorite holiday cookies are. If you have a chance, let me know and send me a tin! Just kidding! (But not really!!) In any case, have a great weekend and I’ll be back next week with some actual food recipes and maybe another one or two (or three) cookie recipes too (I know, I just can’t seem to stop!) xoxo
