Most people think of those hard press cookies or sugar cookies decorated like Christmas trees when they think of Christmas cookies. I'm pretty selective about my desserts, might as well get the most enjoyment out of those sugary treats, and shortbread and sugar cookies don't make the cut for me. Instead, I make the cookies I prefer, but a little holiday twist on them, and it turns out, other people like them too. So here are five non-traditional Christmas cookies that you'll actually enjoy.
Red Velvet Chocolate Chip
There is no question these are holiday cookies when you add some green M&Ms to the dough. Red and green... check... delicious and soft... check!
Thick Mint Cookies
Ditch the dull candy canes and opt for these chocolate mint cookies instead. Kind of inspired by the Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie, these pack even more flavor.
Buckeye Bark
Maybe it is an Ohio thing, but buckeye candies are expected every Christmas. They aren't hard to make, but they are pretty tedious. Try Buckeye Bark instead and save yourself time in the kitchen.
Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip
Mmm... Nutella! Just think of biting into the perfect chocolate chip cookies with an ooey gooey chocolate center. These really don't have much to do with Christmas. It is the fact that they are the best cookies ever that gets them on this list.
Cake Batter
Hold the fruit cake, we're talking buttery yellow cake. These cookies stay so soft for days and days! Which makes it the perfect cookie to pack in a tin and take it from this party to that gathering. Add the red and green chips to make them festive. :)
Have fun baking! Yum
