10 Readers’ Favorite Cookies to Make in December

Last year for Halloween I dressed up as Cookie Monster from Sesame Street and my son was an adorable chocolate chip cookie. The costumes are a testament to my deep love for cookies, which knows no bounds. Like many of our readers, I often reach for a cookie when I want something comforting, sweet, and snack-sized—even better if there’s a glass of milk or cup of coffee I can enjoy it with. For this reason, I try to keep my freezer stocked with as many cookies as possible, so that I never have to go without them.

If you’re as greedy as me, you’ve come to the right place. With December approaching and holiday baking on our minds, we decided to round up our readers’ most treasured cookie recipes with MyRecipes, our free tool for saving and organizing recipes. You’ll find classic chocolate chip cookies, zesty slice-and-bake lemon cookies, and pleasantly chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, among others. Make a few batches, store them in your freezer, and you’ll be ready for every cookie exchange you’re invited to this holiday season.
