What’s more festive than a batch of homemade holiday cookies? Nine batches of homemade holiday cookies! Whether you’re baking for a cookie exchange, a family feast or simply for Santa, these three basic cookie recipes can each be made three ways for a new, tasty twist each time.

Chocolate Cookies Three Ways: From the rich chocolate Brookie (brownie + cookie), come two other delicious and festive treats: Rocky Road Cookies and Christmas Candy Bark!

Triple the Chip Cookie Recipes: For a chip off the old cookie, take the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and jazz it up for White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies or the Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookie.

Sugar Cookies & Friends: This rich sugar cookie recipe is easy to modify for a host of other delicious treats. Two of our favorite variations are Snickerdoodles and Holiday Spice Cookies!
