These classic cookies have a nostalgic appearance and pack a mighty flavor punch. Piping the cookie dough is a fun change up from the normal scoop-and-bake cookie. Make sure to use room temperature butter for a dough that whips up nicely and is easy to pipe.

Shortbread cookies are light, buttery and barely sweet, so I like to dress them up with new flavor combinations. Here a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon along with a dash of rum add the familiar flavors of eggnog. Finishing the cookies with a drizzle of white chocolate adds a sweet silkiness that's reminiscent of the creamy holiday beverage.

These thin, crispy and chewy Iced Miso Oatmeal Cookies will definitely be a favorite treat throughout the holiday season. They blend the umami of miso with the comforting sweetness and warming nostalgic flavor of traditional oatmeal cookies. Toasting up the rolled oats before adding them to the dough is the trick to bringing out their delicious nuttiness. While the cookies have a great balance of sweet and salty, a drizzle of vanilla glaze is just the right amount of a sugar rush in each bite for a holiday cookie.

Nothing stuns quite like the natural hot pink of hibiscus! I love incorporating this bright, pleasantly tart flower into my baked goods for flavor and looks, and these shortbreads hit all the notes. Buttery and sweet, with a zing from citrus zest and the hibiscus-infused glaze, they’re guaranteed to be the standout sweet in any holiday cookie spread.

These spiced cookies are crisp on the outside and slightly softer inside, with a delicious cinnamon-sugar coating and a heaping spoonful of creamy glaze on top. Inspired by cinnamon rolls, the cookies make the sweetest addition to any holiday cookie box.

These festive cookies are perfect for the holidays, thanks to the generous addition of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and refreshing peppermint candies. Make sure to chill the dough before baking to ensure a thick and fluffy cookie that your friends and family will enjoy in their holiday tins.

Blondies are wonderful to make around the holidays because they come together quickly and one tray results in a whole batch of treats. Not to mention, these blondies are loaded with festive flavor, thanks to the toasted pecans, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries studded throughout. The drizzle of sweet butterscotch sauce and pinch of flaky sea salt makes for a winning salty-sweet combination.

I love this recipe because it combines two of my favorite sweets in one--butter cookies and Southern pralines! The results are buttery, sweet and nostalgic. I also love this recipe because it includes a simple praline sauce that can be made without a candy thermometer.

These are a firm favorite. Instead of mixing the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, with these cookies I push two squares into each spoonful of dough once it is on the baking sheet, just before it goes into the oven. That way everyone gets equal amounts of chocolate! Bake them and just watch eyes light up as the flavor hits the taste buds. Simple pleasures.

Introducing White Chocolate Peppermint Rugelach! This holiday cookie tastes like what would happen if a pie and peppermint bark became besties. While this recipe requires a bit of time and effort, the process is surprisingly simple and the result is absolutely worth the wait. These tasty treats are not only perfect for making for yourself, but they also make fantastic gifts. Plus, here's a little secret: you can prepare the dough in advance and store it in your freezer for a couple of months, ensuring you always have something delicious on hand to enjoy whenever the craving strikes. This recipe is super versatile and can be modified using your favorite chocolates, dried fruits, nuts and jams. Here’s how I like it.

Iced oatmeal cookies remind me of home, family and baking on a cold winter's day. I love them because they are classic cookies--oatmeal, cinnamon and raisins--that have been dressed up for the holidays like mountains with freshly fallen snow.

Carrot cake is my thing: It was my parents’ wedding cake, it got me my first job and a few years ago, I beat Bobby Flay with it. Normally, I’m a carrot cake purist – no nuts, raisins, coconut – but when it comes to cookies, more is more. These carrot cake cookies get a warm tasty flavor from brown butter and have little pops of texture thanks to pecans and dried cranberries. It wouldn’t be carrot cake without cream cheese frosting, so inside we’ve stuffed some tangy cream cheese filling with a little pop of candied ginger. It’s kinda carrot cake. It’s kinda cheesecake. It’s kinda cookie. This is for the person who wants it all.

We transformed the classic cakey confection into a fun slice-and-bake cookie. But don't worry, we kept the almond flavor that's well known and loved! A dip in a raspberry-spiked chocolate icing provides extra flavor and visual appeal.
