On the first day of Christmas, the Mr. Food Test Kitchen gave to you…a collection of our favorite Christmas cookie recipes! While we love those swans-a-swimming and lords-a-leaping, we think the best way to celebrate the 12 
Days of Christmas is with a fabulously festive cookie for each day. Baking cookies around the holidays is a tradition in many households, whether you’re baking cookies to give as homemade gifts or enjoy at home with your family. Nothing brings people together like the warm goodness of fresh-from-the oven cookies!
In our newest holiday eCookbook, 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, we’ve hand-picked the perfect mix of classic cookie recipes and brand-new holiday cookie recipes, so there’s something for everyone in this year’s Christmas cookie jar. These easy cookie recipes are perfect for the holiday season, whether you swap them with friends, serve cookies at holiday parties, leave them out for Santa, or give them as gifts! Created as the companion to the our popular Christmas Celebrations free eCookbook, the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies is a fabulous resource for any cookie-lover this yuletide. It’s also perfect as a last-minute gift guide: wrap up a batch of these homemade cookies for your neighbor down the street, or to ship across the globe to someone special.
This is my favorite time of the year! All the Christmas lights and decorations are starting to go up, Starbucks has their yummy Peppermint Mocha coffee out and my kitchen turns into a bakery. I love to bake
