5 Great Cookie Recipes for the Holidays

At this time of year, our Instagram feeds, the office kitchens, kids’ classrooms, and perhaps our mouths are filled with cookies. It’s the Cookiest Time of the Year, for sure.

And around this time, I start to succumb to cookie decorating angst, feeling sad or lacking because I don’t do the whole royal icing thing, the piping thing, the cookie-as-a-work-of-art thing. I’m not immune to #bakingshame.

Then I remember this most important fact: The most delicious cookies aren’t always the most polished or ornate. And, conversely, the most elaborate-looking cookies don’t always taste the best! So I’ll continue to ooh and aah over the work of the pros on social media, and I will continue to soften two sticks of butter on my own counter and make bar and drop cookies til I drop at the end of the month.

Think of all the money I’m saving on food coloring!
