'Tis the season to bake up all the cookies you can eat (and then some!). While traditional holiday cookies are always sure to please, the holidays are a great time to try out festive designs, fun flavors and new techniques that go a step beyond the classic gingerbread. Whether you’re looking for cute cookies to pack and ship or crowd-pleasers while holiday entertaining, these unique treats will spread plenty of cheer. Though we suggest you try every cookie on this list, start with these festive smashed sugar cookies. The addition of two eggs gives the centers a tender and soft texture, while the crinkled edges get ever so slightly golden and crisp. Top with a simple confectioner's sugar glaze for a holiday treat perfect for a cookie plate.
