Christmas Cookies

Ask anyone to share with you a favorite memory and most will say, “baking Christmas cookies.” Walking on Sunshine Recipes is celebrating the start of the Christmas season with 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. If you host a cookie exchange, give away cookies as gifts or just bake for your own family, you’re going to love the recipes.

As with all the recipes you find on my site, these are EASY cookie recipes you can make with your children, grandchildren or just by yourself to enjoy this holiday season.

All the recipes are also conveniently available for you in a new Cookie Recipes e-Cookbook.
