With a few key tools, you can create Christmas cookies so impressive, even Santa would be wowed. Here’s how our creative home bakers have used pretzels, sprinkles, sugar pearls, and frosting to craft 13 delightful holiday treats.
Reindeer Fun
"These reindeer cookies are absolutely charming! Kids love making them and devouring them. Add a red M&M to create your very own Rudolph." — JMEVNO
Cozy Greetings
Don't fret if your Melted Snowman Cookies look a bit messy — after all, they're supposed to be melting!
Snowy Bliss
Dinogo user Brielle Brauner transformed simple cookies into miniature snowglobes using just white, black, and blue frosting.
Sweet Layers
The stacked effect is perfect for cookies, like these delightful layered snowflakes.
Home for the Holidays
"This gingerbread house turned out stunning! I followed the template and recipe exactly as described on the website. It not only created the house, but also a handful of large gingerbread people." — wilco
Starry Delight
Half-coating these star-shaped shortbread cookies with frosting gives them a surprisingly sophisticated flair.
A Joyous Christmas
It's the little touches that elevate a cookie, like the tiny gingerbread men sprinkled on this tree. What would you add inside this sweet, edible snow globe?
Oh Deer
Flip a gingerbread man upside down and with a little frosting and candy, turn him into a reindeer! The tangled Christmas lights in this reindeer's antlers are a fun touch.

Happy Howlidays
If you're making cookies to represent your family, don't forget to include the dog!
Bundle Up
As we’ve always known, it’s the accessories that complete the look. Whether it’s a hat and scarf on a snowman or mittens decorated with sprinkles, winter accessories give Christmas cookies an extra cozy charm.
Magical Snowflakes
With sugar pearls and a sprinkle of white, these snowflake cookies become even more enchanting.
No Stress Here
We’re completely charmed by all of Stephanie Maloney’s homemade sugar cookies, especially the sweater designs! If you’ve ever made your own tacky Christmas sweater, why not get just as creative in the kitchen?
