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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mayonnaise is the surprise ingredient in these delicate, decadent, chocolatey cookies. They’re made with only 5 ingredients total, and the mayo gives the cookies the fat and stability of eggs, butter and oil. Bonus: the mayo also adds a special tangy flavor.

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.

Everyone gets a gold star with these melt-in-your-mouth shortbread bars. The sweet and buttery cookie dough is easy to put together and is used in two ways: First as a tender bottom layer pressed into a baking pan, then rolled out and cut into festive stars to decorate the top of the cookies. Gold sanding sugar and gold sugar pearls add holiday sparkle that really shines on a cookie plate and they’re great for gifting and swapping too.

These happy holiday cookies are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. In addition to the fun sprinkle mix on top, we added even more sprinkles to the dough for an additional burst of color. Sprinkle mixes can be purchased at most baking supply shops, but you can always mix your own using your favorite shapes and colors.

Baking this giant sugar cookie in a cast-iron skillet gets the bottom and sides extra caramelized. Topped with a sweet glaze and festive sprinkles, all you need are a few candles to make it a great alternative to a birthday cake.

Scandinavia is known for all kinds of cookies, mostly flavored with anise or lemon. The flavor we found most compelling in cookies from all over Scandinavia, however, was brown butter — it's nutty, rich and delicious, and pairs perfectly with a tart fruit jam. These cookies get their elegant shape from the teaspoons used to form them.
