These whimsical treats combine the cozy charm of Christmas sweaters with the delight of homemade cookies. Instead of being decorated one at a time, the cookies get their design from a festive plaid-patterned cookie dough “textile” that’s fun and easy to create. The key to making the patterned dough is coloring and piping vibrant dough stripes onto a classic butter cookie base. For added holiday cheer, the center of each checkered sweater cookie features an adorable mini-Christmas tree. These tasty sweater cookies make a colorful addition to a Christmas cookie plate and are bound to be a favorite at holiday cookie swaps.

Pretzel shortbread was created by Lost Bread Co. in Philadelphia as a way to use up stale pretzels and has since gained a cult following. To create our own version, we started with a classic shortbread base and tested it with a variety of pretzel styles to find our favorite. Butter pretzels were the winners--though regular pretzel thins and old-fashioned pretzels also work. A baking soda and egg wash gives these cookies a deep brown color and shine--like a pretzel rod--and pretzel salt really drives home this cookie's origins (although coarse salt or even demerara sugar will work too). The resulting cookie is salty, sweet, buttery and crunchy.

These tender, buttery cookies deliver pistachios three ways — a perfect treat for pistachio lovers. We add pistachio cream to the dough, making it a beautiful green color, and roll the cookies in a mixture of chopped pistachios and sugar before baking for added crunch and sparkle. Piping more pistachio cream into the thumbprint divot of each cookie is the perfect finishing touch for these jewel-like sweets that are sure to be a hit at a holiday cookie swap.

This fudge is a total triple threat -- thanks to peanut butter chips, crunchy peanut butter and chopped roasted salted peanuts. Using sweetened condensed milk, makes it quick and easy to achieve a thick, fudgy texture without cooking raw sugar; no candy thermometer required! Cut the fudge into small squares and share it with family and friends as a delicious edible gift.

These cookies are serious about peanut butter: Each has a full-size peanut butter cup tucked inside the salty-sweet peanut butter dough. As the cup bakes, the peanut butter inside softens, creating the perfect combination of crisp cookie shell, creamy center and crunchy honey-roasted topping.
