Christmas Cookies Recipe Roundup

What would Christmas be without the smell of homemade cookies baking in the oven? I, personally, don't want to find out!

Today's colossal Christmas cookies recipe roundup will keep your house smelling delicious every day of the month... and then some!!

Even if you have traditional Christmas cookies recipes you make every year, it's always fun to add some new ones to the repertoire.

Especially if you're giving them as gifts, hosting a cookie exchange party, or dropping a big box of homemade cookies off at a local shelter.

Christmas cookies are a warm hug, filled with love. What could be better than that?
