holiday cookies
Seasonal baked sweets
Holiday cookies are cookies baked for seasonal celebrations, especially Christmas.
The category includes gingerbread, sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, and dozens of regional traditions.
Making holiday cookies is often a family ritual: We spent the afternoon decorating holiday cookies with the kids.
Cookie exchanges—where participants swap homemade batches—are common during the season.
