Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Ok, I know it’s only December 1st but it’s totally time for Christmas in our house. I have so much to be Thankful for this holiday season and I just want to drive right into all things gingerbread and peppermint.

So I thought that we’d start December off this year with some festive Christmas cookie recipes!

Not only are these cookies great for Holiday parties or Christmas gifts but they’re also great for cookie swaps!

There is just something so “Christmas Seasonish” when it comes to baking cookies. A lot of times in December you can find me in the kitchen, with my Christmas music on, baking Hot Chocolate cookies or making Christmas Sugar cookies.

Before we found out that we would have a little one this year, I even thought about having another cookie swap party this year. I had one a few years ago and I loved it.

Ps. if I was to have a cookie swap party this year, let me tell you….a hot chocolate bar would be perfect with all of these cookies!
