Creative Cookies For Christmas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

‘Tis the season for Christmas music, Christmas shopping, and most importantly – Christmas cookies!  Don’t make the same, boring cookies you make every year.  This Christmas, wow your friends and family by making these cute, unique, and delicious baked goods!

 

Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter?  Surprise your friends by baking these Rudolph peanut butter cookies.  As soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, push M&M’s and mini chocolate covered pretzels into the cookies to make them look like reindeer.  This recipe is super easy and guaranteed to impress your friends!

 

Here’s another Christmas cookie for all of you peanut butter lovers!  Simply dip each end of a nutter butter cookie into a bowl of melted white chocolate for Santa’s beard and hat.  Make the hat by adding red sprinkles and attaching a white chocolate chip.  Use chocolate chips for the eyes and either a red hot or M&M for the nose!  They can be attached with your melted chocolate.  

 

These Santa hat brownie bites will be sure to take the spotlight at every Christmas party you bring them to, and they are the easiest treat to make of all!  Bite-sized brownies, vanilla frosting, and strawberries are all you’ll need to have the cutest dessert at the party.

 

For your peppermint loving friends, this recipe is perfect!  While making sugar cookies, add crushed candy canes into the mix.  Roll the batter into balls, and when they’re done cooking, press a candy cane Hershey’s kiss into the center of the cookie.  

 

Make sugar cookies more interesting this Christmas!  Use white to frost a sugar cookie and a mini-marshmallow for your snowman’s head.  Tubes of colored frosting can be used for arms, buttons, and a face.  Don’t be afraid to get messy with the frosting – the snowman is supposed to look like he’s melting!
