Well, it’s been a week since Thanksgiving, the weather has turned bitterly cold, (we’re expecting our first real snow this afternoon!) and my taste buds are asking for peppermint flavored things! I’d say it’s officially the Christmas season.

To kick things off for Christmas on Never Skip Dessert, I’m pulling out some of last year’s hit Christmas cookie recipes! These are some of my favorite recipes and I will be making many batches of them in the coming weeks! (Click the cookie name or photo to go straight to the recipe! I also apologize for the poor quality of most of these photos – I’ll take new ones when I make them again this year!)

First, the ever-classic – Sugar Cookies

Next, we’ve got my personal favorite – Candy Cane Cookies

Third, always a crowd pleaser – Spritz Cookies!

Fourth, for the peanut butter-chocolate lovers out there – Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Next we’ve got another classic – Gingerbread Men and Women!

For the coffee lovers – mocha cookies 🙂

And last but not least, one of my favorite holiday treats – peppermint bark!

I hope you try some of these out and if you do – be sure to leave me a comment and tell me how they were!
