With less than two weeks left ’til Christmas (!!!!), we’re now in the thick of Christmas cookie season. That’s why I am rounding up some of my favorite classic Christmas cookies in this post. 

There are times to experiment, and then there are occasions when you crave the comfort of tradition. For me, Christmas falls into the latter category. There are some cookies that are just absolute must-makes every year. Is it really Christmas if I don’t make my favorite ginger molasses cookies? I think not.
