Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peppermint Bark, A Holiday Favorite

It isn’t officially the holiday season until I open up a tin of Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark. It is the best peppermint bark and a MUST for December. I look forward to opening a tin every year…or two or three:) I can’t get enough!

Peppermint bark tastes like Christmas and great to have around for holiday parties, gifts, and cookies! Yes, cookies! I also like to use it to make Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies. I chop up the peppermint bark and add it to chocolate chip cookies and the results are EPIC!

How to Make Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies and they are going to love this festive twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie. The addition of peppermint bark makes these the best Christmas cookies!

The hardest part about making Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies is to not eat all of the peppermint bark before it goes into the cookie dough..ha! I know it is addicting, but I promise the cookies are worth the wait.

  • The chocolate chip cookie recipe is simple and straightforward. The only special ingredient you need is the peppermint bark
  • Make sure your butter isn’t too warm. It should be cool from the fridge and not too soft.
  • Don’t over mix the cookie dough. Mix until just combined.
  • Chop up the peppermint bark with a sharp knife, you will need 2 cups of chopped peppermint bark to make these cookies. I put 1 ½ cups chopped peppermint bark in the cookie dough and reserve a half cup to gently press onto the cookies when they come out of the oven. The additional peppermint bark on top of the cookies makes them extra pretty and extra delicious.
  • I also sprinkle flaked sea salt on top of the cookies. You will love the sweet, salty, minty, chocolaty, buttery combo! I am telling you these cookies are Christmas cookie perfection! Santa will be begging for a plate of these cookies!

How to Store the Cookies

You don’t have to chill the dough to bake these cookies, but you certainly can. I always think a good chill makes chocolate chip cookies better. You can wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.

I love keeping cookie dough in the fridge at all times during the holidays so I can bake off fresh cookies whenever guests stop by or whenever I get a cookie craving, which is every single day in December:)

You can also freeze the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into balls and freeze for up to one month. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and follow the same instructions, just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Once the cookies are baked, place the cooled in an airtight container and store on the counter for up to four days. Of course, they are best fresh out of the oven, in my opinion. Grab a warm cookie, a glass of milk, and ENJOY!

  118. I think my favorite holiday treat is fudge. I know I can get that anytime but my mom only makes it at Christmas.

  119. It’s not necessarily my favorite cookie, but my Grandmother’s snickerdoodle. It is the only recipe of hers that is 100% in her handwriting, and I found it after the death of our first baby. I baked it until I perfected it and now it isn’t my favorite to make for the holidays, in her honor as well as a reminder that a part of her is here. 

  120. Last year I made peppermint cocoa meringues that were easily gluten free, dairy free, nut free so we could all enjoy them! They’ll definitely be our new staple.

  121. My favorite Christmas cookie is the PB cookies with a Hershey kiss! Definitely going to try the chocolate sprinkle version you posted the other day!

  130. Usually sugar cookies (the kind with almond extract & powdered sugar in them) but honestly I just made your classic snickerdoodles and they might be my new all-time fav. My husband said they are his new favorite!

  131. I’m a fan of decorating sugar cookies. But nothing beats a chocolate cookie just out of the oven with a nice cup of hot chocolate on a cold evening. Just perfect.

  143. I’ve always loved chocolate crinkles!! But peppermint bark is on the must have list, too!! Can’t wait to try this one! 

  144. Can a favorite cookie be chosen? That’s like choosing a favorite child! Snickerdoodles and peanut butter bars may be at the top of the list, but don’t tell the others!

  145. 5 stars
    Magic Cookie Bars! Technically they are a bar but the name has the word cookie in it sooo…it counts! The gram cracker crumb base, the shredded coconut, the evaporated milk, the walnuts, I can’t choose what I love most about them. So delicious!!!!!!!!! 

  146. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is a simple roll out brown butter sugar cookie…preferably cut out in the shape of Christmas trees 🙂

  147. My favorite Christmas cookies are ginger cookies with vanilla icing! The recipe has been in my family for generations, and I am keeping the tradition alive for my children!

  148. Uh. Could there be a more perfect marriage? Chocolate chip cookies and peppermint bark?! Need to make these ASAP.

  149. OMG, you weren’t kidding about that being the prettiest mixer ever! 

    Let’s be honest, is there ever really a wrong cookie for Christmas or any other time? Of course not! But I do always love a fun decorated sugar cookie for that magical, nostalgic Christmas taste. 

    I’m going to try your salted caramel chocolate chip cookies this weekend though, so I could have a new favorite by the end of the week! 🙂

  150. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is a shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate and rolled in walnuts.  So fun easy and delicious !  

  151. My favorite holiday cookie of all time is white chocolate macadamia nut and cranberry cookies by Tyler Florence. They have just the right balance of salty, sweet and tart flavors.

  152. My favorite cookies are my mom’s disappearing marshmallow cookies, which she makes in her own kitchenaid stand mixer. I have no idea where the recipe is from, except that the recipe is copied onto a card in her file!

  153. My favorite cookie to make are pinwheels- a walnut cookie and chocolate cookie rolled up to slice and bake.

  154. 5 stars
    My favorite Christmas cookie is a chewy ginger snap, but this recipe looks delicious and I look forward to baking these festive beauties ❤️ ❤️

  155. Right now Peanut Butter Blossoms are my favorite but I’m planning to make these peppermint bark cookies so I may have a new favorite 🙂 

  156. Well, this cookie looks pretty darn good, but my absolute favorite is a Triple Ginger Cookie I’ve been making for a few years now!

  157. Molasses Spice Cookies… I have loved them since I was a kid and it’s just not Christmas without them!

  158. My favorite holiday cookie is Millionsire Shortbread. It’s something my Mum made every Christmas and New Year. Layers of shortbread, caramel and silky milky chocolate. Not really a cookie but it’s what I remember  the most.

  159. My favorite is making cutout cookies with my kids…even now that they are teens it is one of our favorite traditions!

  160. I’ve got so many to choose from, that it is difficult to choose. However, I would have to say ginger cookies. The spices in the cookies are just so reminiscent of the holidays!

  161. 5 stars
    I love making your Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies for the holiday season as my, or should I say our, all time favorite Christmas cookie.  My husband doesn’t really have sweet tooth but inhales them each season!

  162. This mixer is so pretty!! I think my favorite Christmas cookies are cut out sugar cookies or snowball cookies. These recipe look delicious and I’m going to have to try them!!

  163. 5 stars
    I love the holiday season because my nana and I get together to make dozens of different kinds of Christmas cookies for our family. I’m a HUGE cookie lover, but my all time favorite Christmas cookie is a chocolate crinkle cookie! That said, I am very eager to try out this new recipe! Thank you for the giveaway raffle! Happy holidays:)

  165. 5 stars
    My NEW all-time favorite: your soft ginger snap with white chocolate chip cookies. They have such a wonderful holiday spice flavor, perfect texture, rich white chocolate, and they look so pretty with the granulated sugar. Thank you so much for the recipe!! 

  166. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is my Grandmother’s Santa’s Whiskers. They are rolled in coconut which looks like his beard.

  167. 5 stars
    Hmm my favorite holiday cookie are thumbprint cookies with raspberry jam! My boyfriend aunt makes them every year and they are to die for.

    I actually tried to make my first ever Christmas cookie the other day and realized how hard cooking making is without a stand up mixer! I tried to use my moms stand up mixer that was given to her as a wedding gift back in 1998 but the motor burnt out leaving me to mix by hand.

    I also am a HUGE fan of the WS Peppermint bark and honestly anything peppermint. I can’t wait to try this recipe on my next cookie baking day!!

  168. 5 stars
    My ALL time favorite cookie has to be the classic shortbread cookie. Timeless and easy to make however I can’t ever achieve it’s perfection like mom does :).

    My favorite cookie to bake at Christmas is my mom’s Italian biscotti! It smells and tastes like home!  Merry Christmas!

  170. 5 stars
    Favorite cookie is a hard one!! While I am obsessed with your brown butter chocolate chip cookies(so is my entire family, I mean every single family member) I’m gunna have to say ginger snaps! Can’t wait to try out these peppermint bark cookies too. Merry Christmas/happy holidays!

  171. My favorite are our family’s mini biscotti. As kids we’d decorate them in the style of the Italian flag (which, incidentally is perfect for christmas). Christmas is the only time of year we ever make them.

  172. My grandma makes the best chocolate chocolate chip cookies. The first time she made them I ate one on the way home from work and basically screamed, they were so delicious. The cars next to me were probably concerned. 

  173. 5 stars
    I’m a snickerdoodle fan! 
    The peppermint bark chocolate chip recipe looks really good. Will have to make next week. Real job for next 3 days

  174. Ahhhh!! So many to narrow it down! I love thumbprints and chocolate kisses. BUT my very favorite might be chewy gingerbread! 

  175. I have never thought of putting peppermint bark in cookies, but that’s an INCREDIBLE idea!!  Favorite holiday cookie is oatmeal cranberry white chocolate chip cookies :). They are a treasured family tradition. 

  176. My favorite Christmas cookie is a good ‘ole sugar cookie. I don’t typically make them often, but definitely do so at Christmastime for the kids to decorate. 

  177. My favorite holiday cookie is gingerbread. The smell, and taste of gingerbread takes me straight back to my childhood of making gingerbread men to hang on our Christmas tree. I think more ended up in our bellies than on the tree. 🙂

  178. Oh my goodness that mixer is GORGEOUS! I would love to win it! My favorite holiday cookie is triple chocolate cookies for sure! 

  179. I have a hard time choosing – we have a great cutout cookie recipe that always involves my dad frosting a few in his special way. They are always pretty hideous looking, but he tries his best! I also love my moms jam bars – they have to be the seeded raspberry kind. Yum! So important to have these family traditions and wonderful memories!

  180. hmmm tough one with a favorite but I do like oatmeal cranberry  walnut  white choc chip cookies. Choc chips cookies is always good too, simple but good.  

  181. My favorite Christmas cookies are Pecan Balls.  My anytime of the year cookie is of course, Chocolate Chip cookies. Love your blog!!!  

  182. Those cookies look so delicious! Adding them to the holiday baking list! And OMG that stand mixer is so gorgeous!!

  183. My great grandmother’s cut outs!! I love baking them and decorating them with my son! It is one of my favorite days of the year! 

  184. Oh my gosh I can see this being my favorite Christmas cookie!  For now I’d have to say Italian Christmas cookie or Christmas Crack – which isn’t really a cookie

  185. Peanut butter blossoms — without a doubt! You can roll them in red and/or green sugar to make them a little more festive.

  186. I absolutely love a brown butter cranberry dark chocolate chip cookie. It’s delicious, the cranberry looks festive, it’s an all around winner. I may need to go make some right now!

  187. 5 stars
    My all time favorite cookie recipe is the cut out cookies my Grandma used to make that now my Aunt has  taken over making. I am I too enjoy making and decorating. How much better to make these cookies than with a new William Sonoma KitchenAid mixer. 

  188. My all time favorite cookies for the holidays are the Christmas Tree Shortbread ones from Bon Apetit magazine – I’ve been making them for almost 20 years now!  Although those peppermint bark cookies look pretty spectacular too!

  189. I absolutely LOVE this beautiful Kitchen Aid Mixer!! We love making and decorating sugar cookies at Christmas! This beautiful mixer would make it much more fun! 

  190. I am SO basic but my favorite cookie is a classic homemade chocolate chip cookie. But let’s be real, I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like.

    My favorite holiday cookie is my mom’s gingerbread men. 
    I have tried to match the great texture her cookies had but have only gotten close once to matching the taste and soft  yumminess only she could bring to this Christmas tradition.

  197. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is the Biscochitos they are very popular here in New Mexico so popular that they are our official state cookie.

  198. My favorite holiday cookie recepie is a peppermint mocha cookie. It’s a brownie cookie with espresso powder and peppermint extract, drizzled with white chocolate and sprinkled candy cane pieces

  199. My favorite holiday cookie is an oatmeal trilby. My mom made tons of cookies only at Christmas and this one was always our favorite. They’re basically like oatmeal cream pies in cookie form. But better.  I now make them en masse for friends and teachers etc at Christmas and it’s the only recipe I won’t share…because people love them so much and then it’s that much more of a special treat to give them each year. 

  200. 5 stars
    Can’t choose just one favorite cookie!. My favorites are Chocolate Chip cookies, Snickerdoodles, Oatmeal and No Bake cookies.

  201. My favorite Christmas cookie is a buttery shortbread half dipped in chocolate with toffee bits sprinkled on top.

  202. My favorite cookie by far during the holidays is a classic snickerdoodle. However, I really want to try making the chocolate snickerdoodles you posted about the other day and see if they become a new favorite! Also, that KitchenAid is so beautiful!

    My favorite holiday cookies of all time are Russian Tea Cakes. The recipe came from the neighbor who lived across the street from my childhood home. She would bring them over every Christmas for my family and shared the recipe with me when I started baking on my own. They remind me of family holidays growing up. I love them!

  206. My favorite holiday cookies are probably good old fashioned gingerbread cookies! Just as much fun to decorate and eat!

  211. I love a traditional sugar cookie with smashed candy canes in it! I only make it at the holidays and they’re absolutely amazing!

  212. My favorite Christmas cookie is a spritz with strawberry jam filling and the ends dipped in chocolate with chocolate sprinkles.   My grandma made them and now my mom makes them.  They are amazing!

  213. OMG – so hard to pick, BUT it will have to be a Snickerdoodle recipe I’ve made forever.  I add red and green sugars to roll the dough in for Xmas colors!!

  214. My favorite Christmas cookie is actually a cookie sandwich. It’s a red velvet cookie with white chocolate amaretto frosting, rolled in festive sprinkles. Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful mixer!

  230. 5 stars
    I would honestly have to say my favorite would be some good, old fashioned gingerbread men. I love the snap of the cookie and the spice of the ginger…and even though my kids are a little older now, they still love our tradition of making a homemade gingerbread house, from scratch, the  weekend before Christmas. 
    (But I do have to say that I’ve never thought of putting peppermint bark in cookies. We will definitely have to add these to our baking schedule this year!!)

  235. My very most favorite Christmas cookie ever is sugar cookies. Not only does it bring back great memories – I now can make
    Similar memories with my own grandkids.   

  236. Chocolate chip cookies are by far my favorite treat and adding WS Peppermint Bark topped with flaky sea salt really makes them festive and holiday perfect! I cannot wait to try these!

  237. OK no joke, this may become my new favorite cookie. But we love making a white chocolate and cranberry cookie. Sweet tart and delicious!

Sidenote, I legit have dreams about this mixer, y’all

  250. My all time favorite cookies is the simple cut out gingerbread man!  Flavor and nostalgia wrapped in one cookie!

    The simplest cookie of them all, classic sugar cookie, would be deemed my favorite! I rate this as my favorite not for the simple sweet and familiar taste, but rather for the sweet little hands that desire to make Christmas shapes from the dough. The sweetest and most joyful moments of the holidays can be found in our kitchen! The holidays wouldn’t be the same without the cut out sugar Christmas cookie “bake off” tradition and my kitchen floor covered in sprinkles! 

  265. Just had the best cookie last night at a Christmas party! I don’t know what it was called, but it had saltines, peanut butter, chocolate and brown sugar and butter. All layered! It was amazing!

  266. How Sweet Eat’s has a bourbon soaked cherry oatmeal cookie that I absolutely adore! I make them every year! 

  267. These look fabulous, will have to try! My absolute favorite Christmas cookie is a special ginger cookie recipe. Addictive and perfect for the holidays

    Ricotta cookies! So fluffy and just the right amount sweet’.

  279. That mixer is gorgeous! So many cookies to choose from! I’d have to say I love ginger snaps but frosted sugar cookies are a close second!

  280. My favorite Christmas cookies are my husbands’s Cinnamon cookies. Very similar to snickerdoodles but you roll them in finely chopped walnuts 

  281. Let’s try this again…I don’t make them just at Christmas, but I’d choose Orange Sugar Cookies. I don’t remember where I found the recipe, but the orange zest and OJ in the cookies and in the icing are amazing!

  282. My mom’s almond spritzer cookies are my favorite! It reminds me of an almond patty but in a cookie form. They are so tasty! She always makes them into a wreath shape for the holidays.

  283. 4 stars

  286. Hi Maria
    Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful mixer.  My favorite Christmas or any time cookie would have to be Chocolate Chip.  Years ago I showed my husband how to make Chocolate Chip Cookies and he has perfected  it.  I love them right out of the oven.
    Happy Holidays

  287. My favorite Christmas cookies are affectionately known in our family as “Grandma Cookies”.  It is a simple cookie dough that is put into a cookie press with a flat ruffled attachment  after the 2-3 inch cookie comes out of the press, it is sprinkled with red, white, and green nonpareils before baking. This cookie has been passed down through the family for years. They are the perfect little cookie treat in a in a square tin box all wrapped for Christmas!

  288. My childhood favorite was and still is the peanut butter blossoms with the chocolate kiss. Your version of it is amazing! Soft with the chocolate all melty from the oven!

    My favorite Christmas cookie is a frosted and decorated sugar cookie! Especially if there is a hint of almond flavor.

  290. I have a lot of different type of cookie that I like but one of my favorites has to be the Chocolate Chip salted caramel.

  292. My favorite Christmas cookie is a starlight mint surprise. It’s a recipe that’s been in the family forever! 

  293. My husband is a chocolate mint addict, so I have to try these! Maybe when I’m doing round 2 of Christmas cookie baking next weekend. My favorite holiday cookie is the “Italian brownies,” which are more like chocolate chip spice cookies, my grandmother used to make. Of course mine don’t taste exactly like hers, but they’re still pretty tasty.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  303. My all-time favorite has to be the krumkake, which my mom bakes every year. Though I have to say, Christmas cookies in general are always the best cookies!

  304. My family makes these cookies called chocolate pillows. It is basically sugar cookie dough made into a row with a cookie press with chocolate bars on top and then another row of dough. Then they are cut into bars and sprinkles go on top! I make them with my grandmother every year and it wouldn’t be Christmas without them!

    I would have to say that Stained Glass Cookies are my favorite at Christman, mostly for the memories of making these with my Grandma every year and then hanging them on the tree for the family to eat on Christmas eve at our big family party with all the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Good tradions and great memories to hold dear.

  306. I love love love my homemade sugar cookies! So do my kids. SO I don’t make them until closer to Christmas or they will not last…..the raw dough is even delicious

  307. 5 stars
    I love making huge batches of chocolate chip Cowboy cookies. Basically, a cross between chocolate chip and oatmeal cookie.  Your peppermint bark is also amazing and beautiful in Christmas tins.

  308. My favorite cookies were my Mother’s thumbprint cookies with amaretto icing. I’ve tried to make them several times using her recipe, but they never turn out as good as hers.

  310. My favorite Christmas cookie is just the simple frosted sugar cookies I make with my kids! Butter frosting = yum!

  311. 3 stars
    I love my grandma’s sugar cookie recipe with the colorful frosting on it. It has a unique flavor from most and it a bit challenge to make but delicious. I also love my other grand mother’s chocolate crinkle cookie. She’s been gone a long time but the recipe lives on.

  312. My favorite holiday cookie is a white chocolate, macadamia nut and dried cranberry cookie. I make them every year and love how buttery and delicious they are! 

  313. My all time favorite Holiday cookie is tied to a 20+ year long family tradition! The women of my family gather around and make homemade sugar cookies as well as the frosting. We bake and decorate them while  cathching up and enjoying one another’s company. In the end we pack a dozen cookies into various holiday tins and hand them out to family and friends! 

  314. So hard to choose just one, but my absolute favorite would be chocolate cookies with red and green M&M’s.  

  315. I have always loved to make Mexican wedding cookies. There is something about the powdered sugar getting all over your face, so you can’t deny that you just had one.

  316. 5 stars
    I recently ran across a long time favorite cookie recipe…Nutmeg Butterballs,
    They are my favorite.

    I look forward to trying the Peppermint Bark cookies, they look absolutely delicious.

  318. My all time favorite Christmas cookie has to be gingerbread men. I use a recipe handed down from grandmother

  319. I always make Chocolate Chip Cookies sprinkled with Sea Salt.  It’s a favorite with all my friends and family

  322. Greetings!  I have to say that my favorite Christmas cookie is Ina Garten’s Fruitcake Cookie recipe.  It’s heavenly and makes me reminisce about my mother’s Christmas fruitcake from childhood. I make this every year, and now I’ve passed on the tradition to my son!

    Thank you for the opportunity to win and Happy Holidays from Seattle.

    First of all – these look delicious! We have lots of favorite cookies at our house and each person has a different one! I love something not so sweet like the little Pecan balls covered in powdered sugar but the kids love the chocolate covered Peanut Butter Balls ! Personally – give me some party mix and I’m happy as a clam!

    Favorite holiday cookie is my Christmas cut-out sour cream sugar cookies with deliciously creamy less sweet frosting. I give them away to family & friends. The mixer is so beautiful!

  329. 5 stars
    Favorite cookie is my Christmas cookie sour cream cutout recipe. So yummy with less sweet creamy almond frosting.

  330. This is a tough question! But, if I had to choose, my favorite would be peanut butter kiss cookies. It’s heaven to bite down on that soft cookie and have the soft Hershey’s Kiss melt in your mouth. Yum!

  331. My favorite cookie recipe of yours is the chocolate chip cookie. I can pass on cakes and pies but never a chocolate chip cookie. My favorite Christnas cookie is a butter cookie with walnuts.

  332. I’ll have to make these Peppermint Bark Chocokate Chip cookies for John. Peppermint is his favorite. My favorite cookies are good old fashioned chocolate chip,  straight out of the oven. Yum! I’d love to make some in this beautiful  Kitchaide mixer!

  333. It may sound boring but I love a soft sugar cookie decorated by kids! They taste especially good during the holidays! Peanut Butter Blossoms are a close second!

  334. My favorite holiday cookies are almond crescents. It’s hard not to eat all of them in one day! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    Love your work.  These cookies look simply amazing.  My fav holiday cookies are Peanut butter blossoms.

  339. This is a tough one but I think my all time favorite cookies are magic middles. A good chocolate cookie base filled with peanut butter.  Also, I LOVE this mixer!! 🙂 

  340. 5 stars
    Favorite holiday cookie is biscotti.
    I live making cookies all year, but as December rolls around I start making more, freeze them and give out as gifts to friends and family.

  341. well, I have MANY favorite cookies, but for the holidays, it would have to be the recipe I have for chocolate gingerbread cookies! yum!

  342. Honestly, my go-to “holiday” cookie are your Brown Sugar Toffee Cookies. I’ve been making them since you posted the recipe (I do year round..but..especially around the holidays!). I also love Peanut Butter Blossoms and my grandma’s Gingersnap recipe.

  343. Russian tea cakes! Unfortunately, I can never make them for family gathering since we have a nut allergy in the family.

  344. All-time favorite?? I feel like I change every year! But probably a classic chocolate chip. I always make chocolate chip cookies even if I rotate the others.

  345. 5 stars
    My favorite Christmas cookie is shortbread dipped in chocolate or maybe it’s earthquake cookies or how about gumdrop cookies? I sincerely love them all. I am a cookie addict!

  350. My grandma baked thousands of Christmas cookies. My favorite is her trimmed butter cookie.
    Thanks for offering this!
    Merry Christmas!

  351. I can’t wait to try this recipe! My favorite holiday cookie has to be either snickerdoodle or ginger molasses cookies.

  352. Pumpkin and dark chocolate chip cookies are a big hit in our family.   I want to try the peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies for sure. The kitchen aid mixer is beautiful!

  353. 5 stars
    These cookies look phenomenal, I can’t wait to make them!
    How could I pick a favorite cookie??  
    Probably my mothers sugar cookies with her cream cheese frosting. She keeps them in the freezer the month of December. Yum! 

  354. It’s so hard to choose my favorite but Almond Pillow Cookies are near the top with Molasses cookies using my grandmother’s recipe. I’m sure both would taste even better using that beautiful Kitchen Aid Mixer! ❤️

  355. My favorite cookie has to be my Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan cookies with White Chocolate Chips. My sweet Husband  loved these cookies, and he did not like cranberries!

  356. 5 stars
    Peppermint bark is hard to pass up, but my all-time favorite cookie is coming from my Norwegian roots — krumkake! In recent years I’ve started making variations of shortbread cookies, like key lime and chocolate cherry. Oh, yum! I better get to baking right now!

    These are delicious! I’ve made them and they disappear. My favorite cookie to have during the holiday season is a soft snickerdoodle. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Thank you for all the work that goes into your website and emails. I look forward to them.

  359. My favorite Christmas cookie is a wreath cookie that is made using a cookie press. It is a simple butter cookie recipe and you press it into a circle and then put cut up red and green glazed cherries on it for holly. It is not only delicious, it is very pretty and festive. Does take a little time to make but I love spending time with my mom and making these.

  360. 5 stars
    I don’t have a name for my favorite cookies (I dont even remember where I got the recipe) but they have oatmeal, chocolate chips and coconut. They are chewy and delicious!

    Love, love, love that you share so many cookie recipes!!

    My favorite cookie is Italian fig cookies, which my mother made every Christmas. She made many other Italian cookies, but that was the best!

  362. Mexican Tea cakes the favorite of our family.Our cookie day baking for Christmas with my daughters and all the grandkids includes this cookie.

  363. Chocolate cookies with chocolate ganache frosting sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies is the top of my Christmas cookie list!

  364. My aunt’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. She adds M&M’s and a hint of almond extract. I used to eat my weight in her cookie dough every year.

  365. My all time favorite cookie is the classis snickerdoodles! Soft but chewy and sweet but not overly sweet because of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Fresh and hot from the oven are always best.

  366. Maria, Most of the recipes I cook is from 2 Peas and their Pod. I love everything you make. My 10 yr old granddaughter made your chocolate chip cookies this week so she could earn a badge for Heritage girls. Of course they turned out delicious and she was so proud of herself. Thank you for being so inspiring with your recipes. Sincerely, Karen Wells
    I haven’t made this recipe yet but it’s on the list!!

  367. My favorite Christmas cookie is chocolate crinkles with powdered peppermint candy canes on top because it was the first cookie I baked with our adopted daughter and ever since has become a tradition. Thanks for entering me in the drawing!

  368. My favorite holiday cookie recipe would have to be Chocolate crinkle cookies, my kids fell in love when I made these years ago and I make several (like 6) dozen of these and they fly off the plate!

  369. My all time favorite holiday cookie is my Andes Mint  chocolate cookie. I make them every year and have great memories doing so!

  370. 5 stars
    My all time favorite Christmas Cookie is decorated Cut Out Sugar Cookies!! ❤❤
    They are so delicious and fun to make especially with a New Kitchen Aid mixer that I desperately need in my kitchen!
    Mixing by hand is a great work out but I want a mixer please!!!!

  371. I love making my family’s recipe for Lintzer Tarts even though they require more time than other cookies. The family looks forward to them every year even more since so many of the original bakers have passed on. Making these cookies brings back many memories of Christmas past.

    However, I am looking forward to trying these new peppermint bark cookies this year. I try to try a few new recipes each year but then it is hard to eliminate others. One year I made 26 different kinds and still used the original full recipe so lots of cookies shared.

  372. My favorite cookie this time of year has to be the rollout gingerbread men (and women) I make – but want to try your peppermint cookies!

  373. 5 stars
    These look so yummy, and I can’t wait to make them. They combine twonof my favorite things – peppermint and chocolate chip cookies! Love the mixer too!

  374. My all time favorite holiday cookie is gingerbread! They are so warm and cozy with all the winter spices~

  375. 4 stars
    So many delicious cookies, but my favorite is the orange spiced molasses gingerbread cookie.  It is Christmas in a cookie! 

  376. My favorite holiday cookie is the Gingerdoodle cookie, a cross between gingersnap and snickerdoodle. It is a soft gingery chewy cookie, love it! Thanks for the Kitchenaid Mixer giveaway!

  377. My aunt has the best gingerbread cookie recipe in the world! They’re are so perfectly chewy, with just the right amount of spice and they hold any cut out shape so well. I make them every year!

  378. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is a sugar cookie with sour cream and nutmeg that tastes like eggnog. It’s a tender cookie that melts in your mouth

  379. My favorite holiday cookie is called a fruitcake cookie, but it only has candied cherries, pineapple, and pecans, and just enough cinnamony batter to hold all those goodies together. Absolute heaven!

  380. My girlfriend’s mother baked these gorgeous cookies every year, and boxed them for friends and families. I was so excited to get my own tin of cookies. This was something I never did growing up in my own house. So, every year as my own children grew up, baking cookies was a must. The easiest was always the sugar cookie with the sprinkles and icing.

  381. 4 stars
     No matter how many cookie recipes I try, I just LOVE homemade oatmeal raisin!  I do, however, continue my quest for a cookie I like better 

  382. 5 stars
    My favorite Christmas cookie is the Starlight Mint cookies made with peppermint patties inside cookie dough.

  383. My all time favorite holiday cookies are my grandmother’s pizzelles.  At 99 years old she still makes them by scratch for Christmas for all of the family.

    PS – I can’t wait to make these peppermint bark cookies!

  384. My all time favorite holiday cookie is chocolate crinkle pixie cookies. You know the ones… they’re chocolate that is rolled in powdered sugar and then baked to a fudgy perfection. 🙂 Delicious!

  385. My favorite Christmas cookies are still the butter cutout cookies. I used to love helping my mom make these, and decorating them was the best part! The tradition passed on with me making these for my children (all boys), with their help of course! They are delicious as well, but the wonderful memories and the tradition really make them special for me!

  386. My favorite Christmas cookies are chocolate covered cherry cookies! I love the fudgy frosting that covers the cherries and bakes into the dough just enough to keep it moist, a little chewy, and oh so chocolaty! We always make sure to have plenty around to share with Santa on Christmas Eve 🙂

  387. Favorite holiday cookies are … Mexican Wedding Cookies / Russian Teacakes / Pecan Balls! Many names, always delicious. And that mixer is GORGEOUS.

  388. 5 stars
    My all-time favorite holiday cookies are Snickerdoodles. They are very simple, but I only make them at Christmastime. I am looking forward to trying more recipes to make my cookie plates that I give away bigger! 

  389. I love Pecan Pie Cookies, and everyone else seems to like them a lot too. I have made this recipe many times; it’s a Land O Lakes recipe.

  390. 4 stars
    A time favorite is what my mother called Kiefels (spelling?), which I believe is German and they were a crescent shape but a similar recipe to Mexican wedding cookies.

    Your cookies are all amazing! One of my favorite holiday cookies is a chocolate andies mint cookie. The mint is placed on a hot cookie and swirled as it melts. So yummy!

  392. My favorite Christmas cookie is good old-fashioned sugar with colorful frosting. Brings back memories of being a kid.

  393. I think my favorite Christmas cookie is the Mexican Wedding cookie, or the Peanut Butter Blossoms and I love the no-bake cookies. I’m just a cookie freak.

  394. I love to bake thumbprint cookies! Raspberry jam, of course. They’re easy and yummy.

    Maria, I have a spot ready in my kitchen for the lovely mixer:)

  395. Fave? Christmas Spritz Cookies made with my Great Grandma’s Cookie Press! Buttery and soft. Everyone is decorated differently. They look like little pieces of jewelry : P

    i own a very o ld kitchen aid stand mixer. Getting so worn out now. I would love a newer model. It would be the best gift ever for me. I am a caregiver for my husband and I do a lot of home made baked breads to cookies for him. I have made these cookies many years now. The favorite cookie is a chocolate chip with pecans. It is so loved by everyone at Christmas and New Years and through out the year. It takes 4 cups of assorted chocolate chips from dark to semi-sweet chips. I use a 2 tablespoon ice cream scoop. Yes, they are a large cookie. We don’t do small cookies in this house!I know the lady who wins this stand up mixer will enjoy it fully an will be bakine many of these many wonderful cookie recipes.!

  397. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie is simple and basic but oh so rich, my Moms vintage shortbread cookies, full of butter with a red glaceed cherry in the middle. I miss her. 

  398. Those cookies look amazing. I will definitely make them. My favorite Christmas Cookie is Peanut Butter Blossom. They are yummy with a bit of chocolate. And red sugar sprinkles to make them festive. Thank you for the opportunity to win this mixer.

  399. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookies would have to be chocolate chip cookies! Crispy around the edges and soft in the middle! Yum!

  400. St. Nicholas Cookies. A family favorite that my mom describes as an “Old World” cookie. Crispy, spicy, deliciousness.

  401. My favorite would have to be a molasses chocolate chip cookie. I’m a little sad that won’t be able to bake any holiday cookies with my kids this year since I’ve been admitted to the hospital due to a pregnancy complication for the next 4-6 weeks….

  402. 4 stars
    My favorite is a hard question…I love butterballs, always any chocolate chip or oatmeal. The list goes on and on. 

  403. My favorite all time cookie is Andes mint cookies. I eat most of them before I can put them in cookie tins to give away. 

  404. It is hard to decide on a favorite Christmas cookie as I love chocolate crinkles and also peanut butter blossoms. These cookies look good also. I may have to tr y them.

  405. 3 stars
    Chocolate crinkles are my favorite Christmas cookies. My mom.only makes them during the holidays so they are even better.

  406. basic sugar cookies. Specifically with my grandmothers old cookie cutters. My grandpa’s favorite was a funny shaped donkey. Just seeing them makes my heart happy. That being said, I might have to go with spritz cookies. So many fun flavors and they tend to only be made this time of year. Really though, how do you pick just one!

  407. I looooooove ( and only get at Christmas ) the 7 layer magic bars and the no bake chocolate oatmeal yummy cookies.   Miss my grandmothers homemade shortbread 

  408. My favorite cookies at this time of year is the rolled-out butter/sugar cookies that I get to decorate!!

  409. My favorite holiday cookies are Frosted Nutmeg Logs. They taste like eggnog and bring back many happy Christmas memories!

  410. This look delicious— I will definitely have to give them a try. I have already begun my baking frenzy for the season because, December :). There is nothing like homemade confections in a lovely tin to show someone you appreciate them by giving of your time to bake.  Happy holidays to you and your family!

  411. Did you know we were all so obsessed about this mixer? I can’t stop thinking about it. My favorite Christmas cookie to eat is chocolate crinkles. The most fun to make are the spritz cookies. I think this year we’re starting with gingerbread though.

  412. 5 stars
    Ginger creams made with my daughter. Soft gingerbread cookies frosted with a lightly sweetened cream cheese frosting. Sprinkled with red crystallized sugar. Beautiful and soooo yummy. Hide them if you do not have good self control. 

  413. Favorite Christmas cookie has to be the classic cut out sugar cookies we made and decorated with my mom every year growing up. We even lauquered a batch and hung them on the tree one year! 

  414. 3 stars
    Our favorite holiday cookie are peanut butter blossoms.  My daughter is 43 and she still wants to unwrap the kisses when I make them.

  415. Oh, so many cookies to choose from. I’d have to say one of my favorites is a friend’s recipe for sugar cookies with fiori di sicilia (a citrus-vanilla blend from King Arthur Flour)…they taste and smell a-maz-ing! btw, the Kitchen Aid is gorgeous…love the hobnail bowl! fingers crossed… 🙂 Merry Christmas

  416. 5 stars
    My all time favorite holiday cookie has been my grandmother’s oatmeal cookies, but after making your Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle, I may have a new one. Now to try the Chocolate Chip Peppermint Bark cookie – mmmm!

  417. Oh my those look delish and I will be making them. My favorite Christmas Cookie is Peanut Butter Blossom. Plus you roll it in colored sugar. Yum
    Thank you for sharing your recipe and a chance to win the beautiful mixer.

    I love all Christmas cookies. Cut outs, pecan sandies, snowballs, peanut butter blossoms,  cream cheese spritz, but anything with peppermint bark is wonderful.

  419. 5 stars
    My  mother-in-law’s spritz cookies are the only cookies I crave over Christmas season. They melt in your mouth and have just the right amount of sweetness.  
    Merry Christmas to you guys!  Love the blog

  420. My favorite cookie recipe is yours- the classic chocolate chip with coconut oil and sea salt on top. It’s classic, but the coconut gives it a standout flavor. 

  421. My all-time favorite cookie is a ppeemint filled Tassie cookie my sister used to make. She hated making all tiny pastry shells like you make for pecan tassies but this cookies with it’s light dusting of powdered sugar and soft peppermint filling drizzeled with chocolate just fills me with holiday good cheer!!

    1. Ok better make that PEPPERMINT Tassie!! Ppeemint doesn’t sound too appetizing, lol! At least we can have a good holiday laugh!!!

  422. Toffee Shortbread is my favorite. With a shortbread cookie crust, caramel center and thin layer of a Cadbury chocolate bar spread on top. So nummy! Why do we just make these at Christmas???

  423. My all-time favorite cookie is a cut-out cookie recipe that my mom has passed on to me. We just made these with our boys last weekend! Yum!!

  424. My all-time favorite holiday cookie is my Mom’s (Grandmother’s) sugar cookie recipe! They are crisp and delicious and sugar crystals on top 🙂 …so delicious and always make me think of Christmas’ past!

  425. My absolute all time FAVORITE cookie is your pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. Luckily, pumpkin is available all year, so my family and I never have to go without!!

  426. favorite cookie? the “little black dress” of cookies—-the sugar cookie: great by itself but can be dressed up for special occasions.

  427. Are rum balls a cookie? Why yes they are 🙂 Love to make them, share them & eat them. Merry Christmas!

    PS this Kitchenaid is ADORABLE!

  428. My all time favorite is my moms chocolate dipped mocha cookies! They taste so good on Christmas morning, snuggled up with a cup of hot coffee to dip them into. Yum!

  429. I love to make flourless cashew butter chocolate chip cookies. They are surprisingly melty and soft. I have never owned a mixer before. This one is gorgeous!

  430. 5 stars
    The coconut chocolate drizzle macaroons are hands down my favorite cookie that the family makes during the holidays. Thought these do certainly look delicious. 

  431. 5 stars
    The chocolate peanut butter cookies, YUMMM.  My husband and son would probably wrestle one another to the floor (not really,hee hee) to get the last one…..Thanks for the great recipe

  432. Hi there! These look interesting, and though I do love peppermint bark, I’m not sure that I would enjoy it inside of a cookie? Anyhow, my all-time favorite Christmas cookie is a Pecan Ball, or so others might call it a Russian Tea Cake, I’ve seen them called Mexican Wedding Cakes…whatever you call them, they are yummy!

    Merry Christmas to you guys!

    xoxo

  433. That Kitchenaid mixer is BEAUTIFUL!! And I rarely use words like that to describe kitchen products!

    Anyhow, I am going to have to go with my now-deceased Grandma Jean’s thoughts on favorite cookies: I have never met a cookie I didn’t like!!

    But off the top of my head for one, I would say the Hershey kiss peanut butter crinkle cookies are pretty dang yummy!

  434. SNICKERDOODLES. sounds kind of boring, I’ll admit, but if they have some sea salt in there, I cannot and will not stop eating them until I’m either sick or they are gone. So I guess that makes them my favorite? 

  435. That’s a tough one but I always reach for Italian Cookies every year-they just taste like Christmas to me. Your Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies look delicious!

  436. The one cookie recipe I have to make first every Christmas is my “family secret” chocolate chip cookie recipe. Everyone always asks for the recipe, and my daughters joke that it’s a secret. It’s just the traditional Toll House cookie recipe from the package of chips, but I get more comments and complements on that recipe than any other cookie I’ve ever baked. Of course, I do others – some every year and others that I do on rotation. I also always like to find at least two or three new cookie recipes every year to try. My ancient mixer was good when it was new, but over the years has started to have issues. My dream mixer is a KitchAid!

  437. 5 stars
    Absolute favorite is the brown butter toffee chocolate chunk cookies – who knew browning butter could change the entire game! Love making these with my mom when I travel to Boston to visit 🙂

  438. One of my favorite holiday cookies is spritz cookies. Brings back memories of childhood and making them with my moom.

  439. My favorite holiday cookie has always been frosted sugar cookies, however, I discovered brownie buckeye cookies a couple years ago and they are to die for!

  440. I will have to try this recipe. Looks yummy. 

    My favorite cookie is the classic chocolate chip with oatmeal raisin as a close second. 
    I like my cc cookies crispy on the edges and soft in the center. I have yet to perfect that recipe so I do not eat them as often as I would like which is probably a good thing 🙂

  441. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie would be a big soft peanut butter sandwich cookie, filled with a peanut butter frosting then half-dipped in dark chocolate.

  442. 5 stars
    Just saw these today. They look delicious. They are Fudge Crinkle cookies, made from a cake mix and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They crack when baking hence the name crinkle. =) How fun! It reminds me of a little person saying Kris Kringle but mistakenly saying Kris Crinkle. Ho Ho Ho!

  443. My favorite Christmas cookie is a cookie my mother has made for years and always symbolizes the season, the Rosenmana. Spelling may be off but so delicious!

  444. I loved my Grandpa and Grandmas fried bow tie cookies! They were only made for holidays and special occasions as they are so labor intensive. 

  445. 5 stars
    I have so many favorite cookies! I love date pinwheels and jam thumbprints, snickerdoodles and crisp sugar cookies (that have been decorated by my children)
    We love peppermint bark! I’ve never seen a KitchenAid stand mixer with a Ceramic Hobnail Bowl–it’s a real eye-catcher.
    Your cookies look delicious; thanks for sharing the recipe.
    Hope you have a joyous holiday season!

  446. 5 stars
    I would so love to win this, it’s gorgeous! My favorite cookie of the Christmas season has got to be snowball cookies, they are one cookie I have a hard time saying no to. 

  447. My favorite cookies are my mom’s roll out, cookie cutter sugar cookies. They are a balance between shortbread and sugar cookies.. not too sweet and perfect for dressing them up with decorations. 

  448. OMG is there anything better than peppermint bark during this time of year? I NEED to make this this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!

  449. My favorite cookie ever is Mexican hot chocolate snickerdoodles. I make them every year for Christmas and they are amazing. I use Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s recipe. 

  450. These cookies sound fantastic!!! My favorite cookies have to be the gingerbread cookies my sister and I used to make every year at Christmas time with my great grandmother. I have the recipe, covered in flour and splashes of molasses, framed in my kitchen!

  451. My Memere used to make the BEST Molasses Cookies! They are my favorite. They were so soft and chewy and had the best flavor. What I wouldn’t give to have her make one more batch of cookies. I always try to make her recipes but they just aren’t as good as hers, she just had the touch.

  452. My favorite cookies are chocolate chip with crushed candy canes.

    I’d love to win this mixer for my neighbors whose kids borrow mine from time to time!

  453. The bowl of the mixer reminds me so much of my mothers old milk glass collection!
    Peanut butter cookies with a big old Hershey Kiss in the middle!

  454. My grandmother made the most extravagant tray of Christmas cookies. One of my favorites was one she called melting moments. It was a buttery sandwich cookie with a raspberry jam filling and it was dusted with powder sugar and a single star sprinkle. She took pride in making those cookies! It is a tradition still being carried on.

    Oh my goodness! I love chocolate chunk cookies but I think the peppermint bark will become my new favorite! Will stop into the Williams Sonoma store and get some bark today! Thank you for sharing!

  456. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie is a Russian Teacake. My mom always made them and now I always do too. They melt in your mouth. 

  457. Oh my gosh! Those cookies look wonderful! THEY might be my new favorite! I’ll have to try out the recipe. Currently my favorite are frosted sugar cookies. I think I eat more of them than the kids do, lol!

  458. I just love Two Peas & Their Pod!! My favorite cookie of all time is Snickerdoodle but I will be making the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookie this weekend.

  459. My absolute fave holiday cookie are chai snickerdoodles!  I discovered them a few years back and they are addictive!!!

  460. Mexican Wedding Cookies are my favorite! My mom has a friend that would make a container for me every year and it was the best Christmas gift. The flavors and consistency were spot on. Unfortunately, she has moved away and I’ve tried making them (even the recipe she uses) and they just aren’t the same.

  461. 5 stars
    Ooh I have been craving all the minty stuff lately with my pregnancy! I’m going to make these cookies next. My favorite cookie at the moment is chocolate Andes mints cookies!

  462. Hi, I am loving the Mini Hot Cocoa Cookies – and I’m not the only one. They are now being requested. Happy Holidays to all in The Pod … and all at Williams Sonoma.

  463. My favorite holiday cookies are the simple thumbprint cookies with a Hershey kiss on top. After I make these peppermint bark cookies, it will probably change 😉

  464. It’s hard to pick just one favorite Christmas cookie!  My favorites are Russian Teacakes and peanut blossoms.  

  465. 5 stars

    Thank you for the opportunity to win the kitchen aid mixer. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is the plain ol shortbread cookie. I like how they melt in my mouth. Merry Christmas

  469. My favorite cookie ever is actually toll house chocolate chip with NO CHIPS. Sorry but that cookie dough is amazing without all the chocolate overpowering it.
    Second is peanut butter blossoms, but I’ve honestly never met a cookie I didn’t love.

  470. 5 stars
    Love your blog and your Holiday Cookie Special E-Cookbook. Thank you so much!

    I don’t know if they have an “official” name, but the petite peanut butter cookies with the hershey’s kiss in the middle?! so YUM.

  472. Making cookies and other treats will be much easier with a beautiful mixer like that!! Hope to win it in the giveaway! Favourite cookie is a tie between peanut butter and the classic chocolate chip, both gluten free of course!

  473. 5 stars
    The peppermint bark cookies are excellent but the snickeroodles take me back to being a kid at home. All time favorite from my mom was rum balls made from Nilla Vanillas. They went out as gifts to all…..

  474. My all time favorite is a recipe off the bag of Ghirardelli white chocolate mint chunks (available around here only at Christmas time.). It’s a chocolate base cookie, with the white chocolate mint pieces.  They are amazing.  I couldn’t find the exact recipe online but it’s similar to this: https://www.ghirardelli.com/ghirardelli-recipes/all-recipes–1/cookies/chocolate-peppermint-cookie-rec1036

    My birthday is the 13th of December, and my mixer is 18 years old, so I’d love to win a new one!!!!  

  475. This looks delicious, however my all time favorite Christmas cookies are nice fluffy cut-out sugar cookies. I love decorating them with my grandchildren!!! Merry Christmas, Maria!

  476. There are so many good Christmas Cookies, Jeweled Short Bread Cookies are one of my favorites, although, any thumbprint cookies is great too.

  477. 5 stars
    Chocolate Chip Cookies are a classic that’s hard to beat. Can’t say no to homemade chocolate chip cookies — ever!

  478. 5 stars
    Gingerbread cookies are the first I make in the month of December and a favorite of my whole family. I found a recipe which uses a whole cup of molasses and it is the best be far! Love the spicy warm flavor-ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Plus, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar which provides a nice zing.

  479. I love peanut butter blossoms!! Ever since I was a kid we would make them and I still love them to this day. But the peppermint bark cookie look and sound amazing! I’ll have to try them

  480. Favorite to make are classic gingerbread in lots of different shapes for decorating, my boys favorite. Hubby loves Alton Brown’s Chocolate Peppermint Pinwheels. We love making new cookies especially for when my girlfriend hosts her annual Christmas Cookie Exchange and I do them all with old mixer, probably time for an upgrade. Need to try this one this year, looks very yummy.

  481. 5 stars
    My all-time favorite Christmas cookie is the Mexican Wedding cookie, whether in balls or crescents. That being said, I love any cookie that’s crisp & has nuts in it.

  482. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie is called peanut butter surprise. I love the half peanut butter cup buried inside and the chocolate peanut butter melted on top. Although… I’m also a big fan of mint and this cookie recipe of yours could be my new favorite!!

  483. My favorite cookie is an oatmeal chocolate chip with two different kinds of chocolate! Baked until soft and gooey with brown sugar! 

  484. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie  is called a Buñelo from my parents 
    Home state is Jalisco Love making them a lot of work but delicious 
    ❤️

  485. Sounds great, I’ll have to make them this weekend – to compare to my favorite
    cookie – the holiday cut out. The tradition of making them with my boys wins
    over most with the cut outs.

  486. My favorite Christmas cookie are almond raspberry thumbprint cookies! I love almond flavoring! And this mixer is so dreamy!! 

  487. My absolute favorite holiday (or really any time ) cookie is Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I just love the flavor of these cookies.

  488. My favorite Christmas Cookies are my Grandmother’s Pineapple Cookies they are a family favorite she whipped up one day for my dad to take to school for a cultural day. They’ve become a classic ever since! I’m also a sucker for really soft gingerbread cookies with extra sprinkles

  489. One of my favorite cookies are the Wheateena ginger snaps my mother makes every year, although Wheateena is getting harder to find these days. The cookies go especially well with hot spiced tea.

  490. my holiday favorite is gingerbread soft cookies. yum, my mouth waters just thinking about them! nice and chewy, can’t not love them!

  491. Quick Mix Spritz using a cookie press! When I was a child we had a manual press but now it’s electric.   It’s my son’s favorite Christmas cookie now. 

  492. Every year I bake 8-10 different types of cookies and gift them to all the wonderful people in my life! Friends, co-workers, the kids teachers, bus drivers, dry cleaner…. you name it! If I had to choose my all time favorite to bake I think it would be traditional Polish Kolachki! Yum!!

  493. My favorite cookies are chocolate chip and walnut! But I am thinking these peppermint bark cookies could change my mind! 🙂

  494. 5 stars
    I dont have one particular ‘favorite’ cookie that I like to bake. I bake hundreds of Christmas cookies each year and we give them out to our local homeless community. I must say … one homeless man says your orange ricotta cookies with chocolate drizzle is his favorite.

  495. My favorite Holiday cookie is a chocolate musette. My mom makes them and taught me. They are chocolate and gooey, with a chocolate icing, and surprise ingredient of ground clove. They are hit every time I make them, and even with their unique flavor kids love them. They are easy to make because you bake them I loaves similar to biscotti, and the frosting is amazing as well! They pair well with red wine as an added bonus!

  496. That mixer is to die for! I have to make several batches of my Pecan Crescents each year. Everyone loves them and make a wonderful gift for neighbors! Chocolate chip cookies would be my second favorite, but not a mint fan.

  497. You mean I have to pick just one cookie?! I have many favorites, but the one I love the most is made by my Mom. My Mom makes a cranberry orange cookie with a cream cheese frosting and it is so moist and delicious.

  498. My favorite cookie is chocolate chip. I bake them several times a month. Always versatile and easy to make. Chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, toffee chip, chocolate chip with nuts…on and on.

  499. My mom’s Sugar Cookies! I grew up making these with my mom and grandma and now I make the same recipe with my son.

  500. Can’t wait to make your peppermint white chocolate candy cane cookies this year! They are a hit everywhere i take them.

  501. 3 stars

  502. Yum… I love mint anything! But my favorite is always going to be dark chocolate with peanut butter chips!

  503. 4 stars
    I am pretty basic when it comes to cookies. So, my go to is a good chewy chocolate chip. This peppermint bark variation is going to be a great holiday party cookie. Yum!

  504. If I could not eat any other cookies ever again, I’d have to go with just a regular old chocolate chip cookie. I can eat those every day of the week and never get tired of them. 🙂

  505. My favorite, favorite and I mean favorite are Linzer tart cookies. I could seat with my cup of coffee and a book and eat a whole batch.

  506. My favorite  cookie has to be the classic chocolate chip cookie. I can’t wait to try this recipe though, it looks so good! It may be my new favorite. 

  507. I haven’t tried making these cookies yet but make peppermint bark and chocolate chip cookies but never thought of combining the two. I’ll have to give it a try this year. Sounds yummy!

  508. My favorite cookie is the Chocolate Chip, even though it isn’t super festive, it’s my fave. I love the classics!

  509. Soft chocolate crinkle cookies (my whole family’s absolute favorite too) which I perfected to a T 🙂 I also love that I could involve my kids (even the smallest ones) in their making by letting them roll the chocolate dough balls into icing sugar before they baked!

  510. 5 stars
    My all time favorite Christmas cookie recipe is a Ginger Snap recipe that I cut out of the Boston Globe from 2002 when I was in college. My little brother loves Gingersnap cookies and I was on was the hunt for the perfect recipe. After trying out over 10 different recipes this was the winner.

    My favorite is pumpkin chocolate chip, but my 12 year daughter did make some peanut butter chocolate chip the other day that rivaled them.

  513. I love Chocolate Crinkles but the cookies above look fantastic!  Christmas cookies are fun to make and share with family and friends!   

  514. My favorite cookie right now is your pumpkin cinnamon chip cookies. They are a perfect blend of spices and pumpkin flavor.

  515. My favorite cookie is a pecan shortbread. Love the buttery, nutty taste that just melts in your mouth.

  516. I actually made your Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies last year for a cookie exchange and myself along with everyone else loved them!  Excited to try the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookies this year!

  522. My favorite holiday cookie isn’t really a cookie but it is the toffee you have on your blog. It is so good. I try to limit myself to only make it during the holidays because I will eat the whole thing!

  523. 5 stars
    Such an elegant look for this functional  kitchen staple. Wow! 
    My favorite cookie is the Linzer cookie. Shared with me by my 94 yr old friend. 

  524. 5 stars
    I like all your recipes. I will have to try this one soon. My favorite cookies are what most people call wedding cookies, but my mother always referred to them as shortbread cookies.

  525. It would have to be Russian Tea cakes also known as snowball cookies. I have made these every year in December since the kids were little, now they have all grown and have their own kids. They still love to get Snowball cookies!!

  526. I am a lover of all cookies and these peppermint bark chocolate chip ones sound amazing but my absolute favorite are the good old snickerdoodles with peanut butter cookies coming in a close second.

  527. I love your Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies!  I made them last year for a cookie exchange and everyone raved about them!  I am a huge fan of chocolate and peppermint together so am super excited to make your Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookies this year!

  533. My favorite Christmas cookies of all time are my grandmother’s cut out cookies sandwiched with homemade apple jelly!  

  534. My favorite cookie growing up was my grandma’s chocolate chip cookies.  They always stayed so moist.  And she loved seeing the kids faces when she pulled out her big, white Tupperware container to offer us one.

  535. I make a dried cherry and pistachio shortbread cookie and it always a huge hit! And I have a husband who chops the cherries and the pistachios! Bonus!

  536. I love those “Peanut butter magic middles” cookies — chocolate cookies stuffed with peanut butter — oh so good! I also love peanut butter maple cookies. Guess I like peanut butter 😉

  551. My daughter is 19…she has been making homemade chocolate chip cookies for a few years now…they are delicious!

  552. Toss up between Peppermint Chocolate Mocha and Gingersnaps. I love the vintage glass bowl of that kitchenaid mixer❤️

  553. These look delicious but I worry the peppermint bark might not make it to the cookie because I’d nibble it all!  My favorite holiday cookie is a jam thumbprint with homemade apricot preserves and a very visually challenged but super yummy persimmon cookie that my aunt started making over 40 years ago. Our family holiday treats always include these two!

  554. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie is what my Grandmother made for years. She called them Ice Box cookies. They are wonderful dunkers into milk, coffee, tea & especially hot chocolate. I miss her so.

  555. This recipe looks so delicious!! I am a sucker for all things peppermint bark. If I had to pick a favorite cookie I would probably say my grandma’s Russian Tea Cakes. We make her recipe every year for our cookie platters and it has become a favorite of our neighbors, too!

  566.

  574. I have many favorite cookies – but my favorite Christmas cookies are cut out sugar cookies that our family cuts out, bakes and decorates together every year on “Cookie Day”.

  580. We make so many! It’s hard to choose just one type. My favorite is my mom’s thumbprint recipe, little nuggets of sweetness rolled in ground walnuts and decorated with the obligatory Christmas red and green frosting. I bake these last, so there are actually some for Christmas Day!

    I can hardly wait to try your “Peppermint Bark CC Cookies”…they sound fabulous!

  602. Merry Christmas!
    No question…my Grandma’s cut out cookies. No fuss, make the dough days ahead and cut out when you have time.  I freeze them and frost when I have time to be creative 🙂 The result is a delicious soft cookie.

  603. This is tricky . . . my favorite cookies are Molasses Crinkles. I can’t decide if it’s because they taste delicious, smell divine, or if it’s just because they are pretty much foolproof to make and bake. Never met a cookie I didn’t like. Sure could use that mixer!

  604. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer and, I’m not sure what it is but, it totally makes a difference in my cookie batter. You always post the best cookie recipes. I’m still very impressed with how the Chocolate Peppermint Crunch cookies turned out. I baked them a couple of days ago and am down to the last few. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful recipes, Maria!

  605. Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies. Thank you for this opportunity. I have wanted one of these mixers for ever.

  606. My absolute favorite cookie is my mom’s chocolate chip cookies! Now that she’s gone baking them with my girls is extra special.  

  607. My favorite cookie would be our family recipe for cut-out cookies. We make them each Christmas season and also for special events. They are made with confectioners sugar and are so light! We frost them with buttercream or for special occasions, pipe and flood them. A family favorite!

  608. 4 stars
    I LOVE this KitchenAid Mixer and it would look so lovely in my kitchen!
    I love making egg nog cookies and the mint chocolate bars at Christmas.

  609. I love all cookies! But I think my favorite is a good crumbly shortbread! Perfect with a cup of coffee in the afternoon. 

  610. 5 stars
    My fav cookie to make at Christmas is spritz cookies. But these look great I am going to have to try these.

  611. My dad’s go-to cookie recipe is the Hersey’s Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie. My all-time favorite twist I discovered for these is to substitute Andes chocolate pieces in for the chocolate chips – makes the whole house smell minty and perfect for the holiday season! (Or really anytime of year cause Andes are one of my favorites!)

  612. Perfect timing!  Part of my Kitchen Aid broke while making cookies (looks like an easy fix-will call the number on the machine).  That being said, a new beautiful hob-nob bowl and new mixer would be fab!
    My fav cookie for the holidays is CHOCOLATE CRINKLE!

  613. My all time favorite cookie is my grandmother’s Green Wreath Cookies. They are a cream cheese based cookie that is so diverse. They are great right out of the oven and even better once they have been chilled. It is a holiday tradition to make them every Christmas and now that my grandmother is gone, it keeps me a little closer to her every time I make them.

  614. My mother was German and I loved her Lebkuchen. She only made these at Christmas and I devoured them. Unfortunately, she passed some time ago and so did her recipe. I need a need best friend to help me make my Granddaughters Christmas cookies, as mine died many years ago.

  615. 5 stars
    I just ordered some peppermint bark from WS so I can make your cookies. My family will absolutely flip over these.  You are my go to site for all my cookie baking. Thank you and Happy Holidays ❄️

    My all time favorite holiday cookie is Oatmeal Raisin. They have to be chewy and have just the right balance between salty and sweet.

  617. Brown Sugar Toffee Cookies are my favorite holiday cookie to make. We make them every year and put them in festive bags for friends, they are so fun to make!!!

  618. A few years ago my wife found a recipe for Raspberry Almond Thumbprint cookies. They instantly became my new favorites!

  619. My favorite Holiday cookie is frosted cut out cookie.
    But in all honesty I love all cookies!  I don’t think I’ve met a cookie I didn’t like

  620. 5 stars
    Every Christmas I like to bake all different kind of cookies. I have a few traditional recipes that we always do. However, I always try out new ones. This year I will be trying out the peppermint bark cookies. They look amazing! I want to go hoe right now and make them.

  621. What a beautiful bowl! Kitchen Aid did a wonderful job dressing up everyone’s #1 kitchen appliance! it Our favorite Christmas cookies are peanut butter blossoms and cut out frosted sugar cookies!

  622. My favorite cookies are macadamia and white chocolate. No one in my family likes them. So I will make a batch and I can freeze the batter and bake them as I want some cookies.

  623. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie is the sugar cookie coated with frosting made from scratch and then decorated for the holiday. There’s nothing better than decorating a soft sugar cookie with my kids to remind me of days passed when I was fortunate enough to make them with my mama.

    1. 5 stars
      I meant to say these cookies look delicious
      but my all-time favorite cookies are snickerdoodles and oatmeal raisin with coconut

  624. 5 stars
    After reading this post, it just may have to be these peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies! Excited to try them with my daughters!

  625. My all time favorite holiday cookie is a soft an chewy gingerbread cookie. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies come in as a close second. An all time favorite year round cookie is the snickerdoodle!

  626. I’m a Grandma. My 4 grandchildren love my Oatmeal Cookies with Dried Apricots and White Chocolate Chips! Hands down. I hear Grandma can you make me some more of these cookies? My college room mates love them too! I have 4 children. They and their families say it’s the best tasting cookie!

  627. Love any type of chocolate chip cookies. Making these as soon as I can get to Williams Sonoma for the peppermint. 

  628. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie is an apricot pecan cookie made with California Dried Apricots.  It is not too sweet, has just the right amount of crunch, and is even better frozen!  

  629. My favorite all time cookie is a decorated sugar cookie.  Have made this cookie since 1969.  Was a freshman in high school.  This was a recipe from a flour sack back in late 50’s or early 60’s.

  630. Favorite cookie is a warm oatmeal with cinnamon chips, but I just love making all kinds of cookies! This Christmas cookie venture is a cranberry filled shortcake cookie with an orange white chocolate glaze!

  631. My favorite is my favorite because of childhood memories not so much because it’s a decadent cookie. My grandma who was not Italian, but married one, always made what we called seed cookies. I never got her recipe, but have since looked them up online. They are often called regina cookies. A simple butter cookie flavored with citrus or anise and rolled in sesame seeds. Make them every year, mostly for myself!

  632. I love baking for friends and family at Christmas. My favorite is cream cheese sugar cookies that I bake with my granddaughters every year. I also love adding pecan tassies, chocolate dipped toffee shortbread, Mexican wedding cakes and jam filled thumbprint to my cookie trays. Will have to try these, as they look amazing.

  633. 5 stars
    My favorite Christmas Cookies are Thumbprint Cookies with red & green icing in center. Love the mixing bowl on the
    KitchenAid mixer. Best mixer on the market.

  634. My all time favorite cookie is definitely my rugelach! They’re special because I usually only make them for Christmas, so everyone always looks forward to that, including me! 

  635. Definitely going to try these soon. My favorite all time cookies, however, are soft sugar cookies. They are so easy to make and enjoy.

  636. Wow… these cookies look delectable.  Can’t wait to make them.  The kitchen aide mixer  and bowl is beautiful.  Would be a great addition to any bakers kitchen.

  637. My favorite cookie is your Ginger Cookie that is rolled in turbinado sugar.  I honestly make it all year…can’t get enough of them 🙂  I make them for my friends too (so I don’t eat them ALL!) I love this gorgeous stand mixer!  Please Pick ME!!! 

  638. 5 stars
    We are boring…our favorite cookie, regardless of holiday, is the oatmeal cranberry pecan cookie. Although, during the holiday season/Christmas I like to substitute toasted, roughly chopped pistachios to give the cookies the traditional red and green colors of the season.  I do enjoy trying and creating new recipes though; who doesn’t love a delicious cookie. Yummm; happy baking to all. 

  639. My all time favorite holiday cookies are the Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies…I have to keep them just for the holidays, because I can eat them by the plateful!

  640. 5 stars
    I found a recipe called “Christmas Morning Cookies” in a Penzeys spice catalog years ago. The cookies have pistachios, a dried cherry in top, and are rolled in powdered sugar. They are amazing!

  641. My favorite holiday cookie… that is such a hard question to answer!! At this moment I’ll say Ginger Molasses Cookies. Tomorrow…

  642. 5 stars
    Love your recipes and look forward to trying this one! My favorite cookie is probably ginger snaps. So hard to pick just one fav.

  643. short bread jams jams…the best part is making with my two little granddaughters….they’re delicious and fun to make with my little helpers!!

  644. Hi! This year I am going to experiment with cardamom cookies. I will also be making our favorites: peanut butter chocolate chips, Russian Teacakes, and peanut butter blossoms. I haven’t made this recipe, but I have made some of your other recipes. I truly appreciate you and your talent!

  645. 5 stars
    My favorite all time cookie is the classic peanut butter cookie my Mom used to make – and now my sisters and I do. Simple. Delicious.

  646. 5 stars
    Spritz cookies made with my grandma’s cookie press and decorated with my kiddos are our favorite cookies Christmas…

  647. like making shortbreads and a chocolate log. But this year I cannot make that chcolate log as they are made with chocolate cookies and they were taken of the shelf.  But this year I will have to change my recipe. te recipes you just gave look good so I will try some. But now being diabetic and widowed I do less baking but nee something for my visitors.

  648. my kitchen aid mixer of 49 yrs wore out . would love to bake cookies for Christmas ! would love to win this .

    These are going to taste great with a hot cup of cocoa with peppermint schnapps  YUM!! Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂 

  650. Ooh – these cookies look heavenly!  My all time favorite holiday cookies are chocolate crinkle cookies – the powdered sugar coating is just so festive and my family asks for these every year!  I put some peppermint extract and crushed candy canes on top of mine and this peppermint bark would make it even better!

  651. My Mother in law and Mother both made the best fruitcake cookies.  They were different but both fabulous just like the two of them! Thanks for putting this thought in my head❤️

  652. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie treats are oatmeal mincemeat bars, Mom would make them only in the winter months mostly!
    My wife’s fave are chocolate chip cookies, so I intend to surprise her with these Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookies this holiday season!

  653. I LOVE Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark and can not wait to try this recipe you just posted. Thanks for ALL of the yummy recipes  – next week a few friends are coming over to make a few of you recipes and spend the day baking and wrapping! Thanks for the inspiration and the delicious recipes. 

  654. The recipe sounds yummy!  My favorite Christmas Cookie to date is a butter spritz cookie, shaped as a star with a tiny cut cherry in the center!  My Mom always made the most beautiful homemade cookie platter for the holidays!  This recipe would be a good add in the future!

  655. My favorite cookies are my grandma’s cinnamon sugar recipe. I’d love a mixer I don’t own a stand one. I’ve wanted one for years but I’m a mom so spending money on myself is hard for me to do.

  656. 5 stars
    My favorite cookies are my mother’s brown sugar icebox cookies. She’s been gone for 32 years now, but even after these many years, it still takes me back to all the wonderful memories I had with her!

  657. My all time favorite cookie would have to be my mom’s snickerdoodles. They were crunchy and spicy sweet and absolute  deliciousness ! I just can’t seem to duplicate them. Must be the mom love !

  658. 5 stars
    Oh my gosh I have so many!  My all time favorite (from baking as a little girl with my Mom and my Grandmother)
    Chocolate crinkles… we grew up on a dairy farm!  My love of animals made those “Holstein”  cookies my forever favorite!  And they’re  now sealed in my heart with those lasting memories of learning to bake, and measure , and lick the beaters 😉 with the two most wonderful bakers in my life ❤️

  659. My favorite cookie is the chocolate kiss cookies! I made them this year for a holiday cookie event that packs homemade cookies for foster kids. I know they’ll love them because they’re delicious and so pretty!

  660. I like the Gingerbreadmen to just eat, but the ones I make that I like are Cheesecake Cookies with Strawberry in the middle.

  661. 5 stars
    All time favorite Christmas cookie are my Ricotta Cookies with lemon icing. Light, melt in your mouth, and make a GREAT gift!! Love your peppermint bark!

  662. My favourite holiday traditional treat would likely be homemade peppermint bark, and peanut butter balls! Always so much fun to make these with family, the end result isn’t half bad either !!

  663. One of my favorite cookies are the chocolate peppermint crunch. I love so many if your recipes so thanx for having them out there for us!!!such a beautiful mixer I love the light blue but any color would do
    I have had my KitchenAid stand mixer for 37 years and it’s on its last leg. I’ve hinted to my hubby it’s time for a new one. Merry Christmas 

  664. 1st of all Maria, you are THE BEST at cookie recipes and I don’t know how you stay so lean with eating all your amazing cookies, along with all of the other amazing recipes you share! Ha, I would be huge! he he Anyway, My 13 year old feel in love with your Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles in her baking class that she takes in middle school. She baked them and even my husband was mentioning how delicious they are! It’s too hard to pick a favorite, but I love anything with chocolate, peanut butter and caramel (favorite ice cream too) so I would have to pick your Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. But, this Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookies look and sound so amazing too. This mixer is gorgeous too! Happy Friday and weekend!

  665. Our favorite cookies for the season are ginger cookies. My father loved them so each year I baked a big batch just for him. When the house fills up with the smell of the cookies baking, my heart fills up with memories of this remarkable man I was honored to call “Pop’

  666. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie is the pizzelles.  This cookie is also a favorite of my children and grandchildren. 

  667. My absolute favourite holiday treat is definitely either a homemade peppermint bark, or peanut butter balls. I always have so much fun making them with my family, and the end result isn’t half bad either 🙂 

  668. Russian. Tea. Cakes. There are none better for Christmas. They even look like snowballs… and I miss snowballs now that I live in the south 🙂

  669. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Christmas cookies and I count the days till December 1st.
    That is the day the the Christmas baking (and weight gain) begins.
    Hands down, my favorite Christmas cookie is Spritz.
    But they have to be made ‘my’ way. Happy wife, happy life!
    I use PURE lemon extract, never imitation, as well as lemon zest. I don’t overpower the cookie, a light lemon taste is how I like them.
    I like the cookie very thin, as it will melt in your mouth.
    I roll them into small balls, then pressed thin with the tines of a fork. I sprinkle with those tiny ball sprinkles, in festive colors.
    I also underbake by 1 minute. I do not like the edges to brown at all.
    Then all I need is a wonderful cup of coffee.
    It doesn’t get much better than that.
    Life is good.

  670. Oooh, I’ve been wanting to try a new peppermint cookie! This is definitely going on my list of Christmas treats to bake! 

    My all-time FAVORITE Christmas cookie is Almond Crescents!!! Love that beautiful Kitchen Aid Mixer! Thank you for the chance to win! 🙂

  678. 5 stars
    My favorite cookies are Russian Tea Balls/Mexican Wedding Cakes…they are called many different things! LOVE the hobnail bowl and mixer!

    1. Ahhh…it’s the peppermint bark chocolate chip cookie I’m making which might turn into my favorite christmas cookie, but my favorite would be Fudge.  I know, not technically considered a cookie, but it’s my favorite christmas dessert which is as small as a cookie! 😉

  679. My favorite Christmas cookie is ginger doodles. But, I like lots of kinds of cookies!  And I’ll probably need to make these peppermint bark cookies for my boys. =)

  680. My daughter and I have been baking sugar cookies together for 26 years.  It is a holiday tradition.  Now my grandchildren are joining us.

  681. My favorite cookies are Snickerdoodles. Not necessarily because the cookies themselves are anything special, but because I got the recipe from my grandmother and making them reminds me of her and all of the great times we spent together in her kitchen.

  682. 5 stars
    Favorite Christmas cookie is Pecan Sandies. I enjoy your website, thank you. The mixer would be awesome for my granddaughter who loves to bake. Appreciate the opportunity to be a winner

    I have two all-time favorite cookies, a classic buttery chocolate chip and then what in my family is called Nana Cookies. They are just flourless oatmeal cookies but the recipe is from my great grandmother,who gave it to my mother who has now passed so that is why we call them Nana cookies 🙂

  684. My all time Favorite holiday cookie is a chocolate peppermint cookie  and of course you can never go wrong with a simple chocolate chip cookie 

  685. My favorite Christmas cookie is the Old Fashioned Icebox Cookies (sugar cookies) from my Mom. I’m sure it’s not ‘her’ recipe but it’s the one she used every Christmas when I was growing up and it’s the same recipe I’ve used with my kids. The best part is the decorating of them!!!

  686. My all time favorite Cooke is called “CANDY LASSES”. 
    It is a childhood favorite my Mom always made and I,passed it on to my kids and now the grandkids.
    Molasses ginger cookie with peppermint bark and lightly tinted pink buttercream frosting.

    My favorite Christmas cookies are my homemade Italian Amarillo Biscotti cookies with the ends dipped in milk & vanilla chocolate.
    they are delicious and & crunchy. They are always a crowd pleaser with lots of yum/ahhhhs

  689.  My favorite cookie for the holiday is the one my grandmother made called Diamond Gems. It just wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t have those cookies to eat !

  690. My favorite cookies are the chocolate chip cookies with the secret ingredient of skor bits in it. Too bad I don’t qualify for the contest 🙁

  691. I am kinda new to this web site, now my all time favorite. Such good recipes . I did not have a chance to try this recipe because my kitchen is all torn up. We are getting new counter tops in a few days. No running water in my kitchen currently. I can’t wait to get back in and try Peanut Butter Blossoms, I am sure they will be my favorite. A brand new mixer would help, wish me luck.

  692. My all time favorite is Peanut butter blossoms….(a Hershey kiss on top). It is my favorite because it brings back so many memories of my mom making these at Christmas time and I can picture her in the kitchen. Especially hard this time of year missing her. Thank you! would love to win the mixer!

  693. We make a variation of chocolate chip cookies that have toasted almonds and ground oats instead of flour. Making them as a family is a fun tradition 🙂

  694. 5 stars
    My all time favorite Holiday cookie is a Chocolate Snowball cookie. I have such fond memories of making these with my mom, aunt, sister and grandmother

  695. Our family favorite Christmas cookies are extra chewy sugar cookies with fluffy buttercream frosting. Absolutely love eating them as much as we love to decorate them!

  696. My favorite holiday cookie is just a simple frosted sugar cookie! All of the women in my family get together, make the cut-outs, and ice/decorate them over the course of an afternoon. Such a fun tradition and the cookies are delicious!

  697. I look forward to the cut out Christmas sugar cookies with icing!  Making them with grandkids is a plus too!

  698. 5 stars
    Love the simple ingredients and the variety that are on this website. My favorite cookie for Christmas is my Nana’s shortbread cookie recipe with a dash of nutmeg and decorated so special with almond flavored frosting (family secret…shhhh) <3

  699. My favorite Christmas cookies are  Holly cookies. Not fancy, but my entire extended family’s favorite! Happy Holidays!

  700. I have lots of favorite Holiday cookies. I will narrow it down to two. Sandbakkles which is an almond tart cookie that we fill with a raspberry filling and whipped cream. My other is a peppermint white chocolate chip cookie. The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without either of these cookies.

  701. Last year I made your chocolate peppermint crunch cookies and they were delish. I haven’t stopped thinking about them and am making them for my first cookie exchange!  Peanut blossoms are of course a staple too. 

  702. My favorite holiday cookie recipe came from my grandma for these super thin sugar cookies with a thin layer of icing, simple but delicious. (Runner ups: Chocolate Crinkle Top Cookies and Peanut Butter Blossoms)

  703. Favourite Christmas cookie would be Swedish Almond Cookies– delicate almond sandwich cookies with a raspberry filling and drizzled with chocolate!

  704. You can’t beat a classic Toll House Cookie for any day, especially crispy and thin. I just tried some “Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies” from Live Well Bake Often in which I substituted 5-Grain Cereal (Old Wessex Ltd) which are working their way to the top and may even be healthier. I like pretty much any holiday cookie some bakes for me! I’ve never put Peppermint Bark in a cookie but will try. I do like PBk.

  705. Your Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies are my favorite holiday cookie!! (I know they’re more fall time, but these cookies are irresistible anytime of the year!)

  706. 5 stars
    I absolutely love peppermint bark and I’m thinking that these Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies are in line to become my all time favorite cookie!

  709. 5 stars
    Can’t wait to try this cookie!! It sounds delicious. And I would need to win that beauty of a mixer in order to make those yummy cookies. My little hand-held mixer wouldn’t be able to make it through one batch.

  710. 5 stars
    Being of Sicilian heritage, our family looks forward to making biscotti cookies. They are not made the traditional way of double baking them. We leave them nice and soft in the middle so they melt in your mouth. We also have a delicate lemon icing on top with lots of colorful sprinkles for that holiday touch. I made them as a youngster with my Grandma and I still use her recipe today. My children and grandchildren look forward to making these delicious family favorites with me each year.

  711. 5 stars
    BEAUTIFUL kitchenaide mixer❤️ My all time favorite cookie is a sugar cookie, slightly browned edges with an oh so soft center.  2nd place cookie is of course a snickerdoodle……… I roll mine in cinnamon sugar, bake, cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes and then dip into cinnamon sugar again!  Don’t tell anyone….. that’s a secret!  Enjoy and good luck to all who enter for this mixer!. Ann

    I’ve rarely met a cookie I don’t like.  Plain old chocolate chip or peanut butter blossoms are my holiday faves.

  716. My favorite holiday cookie… that is a tradition in our home is the buttery… Russian Tea cookie otherwise known as a Mexican Wedding Cookie.  The powdered sugar coating looks like snow…. making these look like little snowballs for the holidays. 

  717. 5 stars
    These recipes are amazing.  Love the pepperment bark cookies!  Love Two Peas and Thieir Pod…great and useful recipes I actually cook and enjoy…not fu fu type recipes that need a bizillion ingredients!

  718. I’m a traditionalist- chocolate chip all the way. Warm and gooey too! That mixer is to die for!! Pick me please!

  719. My absolutely favorite Christmas cookie of all time is Snickerdoodle. So much fun to make and the dough it rather tasty as well.  I love my snickerdoodles soft and just out of the oven.  

  720. My very favorite of all, whether it be Christmastime or anytime during the year, is Princess Gems. It’s an old Scottish recipe from my grandmother and uses Ammonium Carbonate for leavening. Bakers used to use it a long time ago! They’re a shortbread cookie, but very light.

  721. My KitchenAid that I’ve had for nearly 20 years is starting to act like it might be on it’s last leg. I would love a new mixer for Christmas! I’m going to try these cookies this weekend, it looked delicious.

  722. Thank you for the opportunity of the giveaway. Good luck to all the entries and whoever wins this very unique prize! My favorite cookie is the gluten free triple chocolate dunk cookies that were in one of the Penzeys Spices holiday magazine but it can also be found on their website. It’s so delicious that even those who are not gluten free love them.

  726. That mixer is gorgeous and those cookies are a delight to the eyes and I’m sure yummy too!! Looking forward to trying!

    1. I forgot to say my favorite cookie is your snowy topped brownie drops! So delightful. I once baked them and brought them with us to Disney World, and the security guy checking our bags couldn’t believe they were homemade! So good, the whole family swoons over them!

  727. My favorite Christmas cookie has to be frosted Sugar cookies my daughter makes using her grandmother’s recipe. 

  728. My favorite cookie recipe by far is a Cut- out sour cream sugar cookie that we have made every year with my two granddaughters and now with my great-grandson.. A kitchen aid would be fanstatic as I don’t own,I just have a hand held kitchen aid that has worked great for many many years. I haven’t made this recipe but will in the near future.

  738. My favorite Christmas cookie is my grandmother’s recipe for Icebox cookies–made with lots of butter and brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. My mother always said that with her first taste of that cookie she knew it was Christmas! I agree–and have been making them for 45 years. My grown children love them too! The recipe is easy, makes several rolls, and can be sliced and baked fresh in no time, all season long! Thank you, Grandma Fitzgerald!

    My favorite cookie is your brown butter toffee chocolate chunk cookies. I can eat the whole batch myself!!!

  740. Although chocolate chip cookies are my all time favorite, the cookie that I love to bake the most during the holidays is my molasses cookie recipe. The warm spicy aroma that fills the house while they’re baking just screams Christmas!

  741. I love all the cookies! Honestly, it’s hard to pick just one. But if I have to pick one that I’ve made, it’s the Soft Gingersnap Cookies with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing. Nothing says Christmas like a good Gingersnap cookie, and these are fun and easy to decorate. Although, Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip may become a new favorite! Looks amazing.

  742. My absolute favorite holiday cookie is decorated sugar cookies. Although I hate eating them because they are seriously the cutest.

  743. 5 stars
    OMG!!   Two of my absolute favorite things combined into one cookie!  I can’t wait to make (taste), these! So before I saw these, I would say chocolate chip is my favorite cookie!

  744. I’m a big fan of biscotti at the holidays. I make a Chocolate Coffee Cashew Biscotti with white chocolate drizzle….yummy!

    Coconut Citrus Lemon Cookies. My friend shared a recipe with me she found in a Williams Sonoma publication, I believe. The cookies use their sparkling sugar. So refreshing! Everyone who has tried them has asked for the recipe.

  746. 5 stars
    Toasted Pecan Snowballs with colored sprinkles on the inside are my favorite Holiday Cookie! The recipe is from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

  748. 5 stars
    Our favorite holiday cookies are Peanut Butter Cookies with Hershey Kiss centers! I made them with mom when I was younger and now me and my daughter’s make them together!

  749. My favorite holiday cookie is rosemary shortbread! They are surprising but a great crowd pleaser. Everyone asks for the recipe. This year I’m trying a brown butter toffee chocolate chip though!

  751. Really love this recipe for bark cookies.   My favorite Christmas Cookie are orange cardomom cookies 

  752. My favorite cookies are Zucchini Bar cookie with pineapple in it and a cream cheese frosting on top. I haven’t been able to make this for sometime because I lost the recipe. My other favorite cookie is the Galaxy Cookie

  753. 5 stars
    What a great giveaway! My favorite all time holiday cookie is an Oatmeal Lace cookie. The recipe came from my great grandmother, and I am happy to say I still have the original in her handwriting! Good Luck All!

  754. My favorite cookie is a tie between chocolate chip and sugar cookies, but the sugar cookies have to be the crunchy cut out kind 🙂

  755. My favorite Christmas cookies are sugar cookies made in my mom’s pink Pyrex mixing bowl using a recipe she received from a fellow nurse, Mrs. Caroline. My mom received the mixing bowl as a wedding present in 1959, and has promised it to me! The smell of the butter and sugar combining immediately takes me back to childhood Christmases.

  756. My favorite are Viennese Crescents that I used to make with my mother. Those peppermint cookies look delicious, though! I will have to try them!

  757. My all time favorite Christmas cookie recipe is called “Jam jams”. They’re soft cookies rolled out and cut out into shapes then sandwiched together after baking with jam. Delicious!!

  758. I’m kinda of old fashioned, my Mother every year would make a big batch of fudge brownies.  I’ve always associated those with family and Christmas.

    make an assortment of Christmas Cookies every year and this year am doing Christmas treats cookies for a meal that is being done for Hope Lodge which a place in rochester Mn where cancer patients stay.My friends nursing unit is doing it and I offered to make a platter of goodies. I found and new cookie that sounded very good Baklava Thumbprint Cookies.

    I would love to win the mixer as my Kitchen Aid is about 25 years old I will print the recipe and make it

  760. Oh, there are so many cookies to choose from, but I love chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips! Peanut butter cookies dipped in chocolate with sea salt are a close second though 😉 

  761. 4 stars
    Hello Maria! The mixer is so beautiful! I’d love to own a Kithenaide someday. I must tell you, my  85 year old father in law absolutely loves it when is make your  Dark Chocolate Chunk, Pistachios & Sea Salt cookies!!!! They have been first in my holiday baking line up for a few years! They also make great Father’s Day gifts. If I had a good mixer I am sure I’d bake those cookies more frequently! Happy Holidays!

  762. There is just something about a decorated sugar cookie that says Christmas! You have to decorate them with your kids each year because that is what Santa wants on Christmas Eve!

  763. My favorite cookie is chocolate chip cookies all throughout the year. Boring, I know, but you just can’t beat a buttery, chocolate filled cookie. Merry Christmas!

  764. My favorite holiday cookies are the sugar cookies I make with my mom every year. As she grows older each year, it makes me so grateful that I can make these with her.

  765. 5 stars
    Peanut Butter Blossoms are my favorite cookie and my son makes the best ever and way more than we can eat and gi ve away

    Snickerdoodles are my all time favorite Christmas Cookie, However Peppermint bark is a close second in my world. Your recipe was great! Thank you for sharing!!

  767. 5 stars
    My all time favorite holiday cookie is “Merry Cheesecakes”. This cookie usually disappears before Christmas arrives!  They are made wit butter, brown sugar, flour, english walnuts, cream cheese, lemon, vanilla, and eggs.  They are like little cheesecakes that literally melt in your mouth.

    After looking at your recipe for the peppermint bark chocolate chip cookie, I am convinced this will be one of our family favorites!  Can’t wait to make it. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.

    who doesn’t love to bake and create using a beautiful stand up mixer with a hob nail bowl by kitchen aid! I love all cookie recipes. I get so involved with all kinds of cookie doughs to make for family and friends during the holiday season. Oh would I love to retire my very old kitchen aid stand up mixer for this new one! blessings to the lady who wins it. Thank you for the chance to win one.

  772. My favorite cookies are Angel bars- a sweet pecan pie like filling over a flakey shortbread crust topped with a lemon icing! Nothing compares

  773. My favorite cookie since I a mint lover is Andies mint chocolate cookies. The recipe that’s on the bag of andie mint pieces! Yummy!

  774. What a great compilation of cookie recommendations! Also the cookies in this recipe look delish. My favorite holiday cookies are pumpkin cinnamon chip cookies, but I haven’t been able to find cinnamon chips this year :-(.

  775. Yummy!!!
    My favorite holiday cookies are the ones that I don’t have to bake. Thanks to all the cookie makers in my life!!!!

  776. My all time favorite Christmas cookies are snickerdoodles rolled in green and red sugar before baking. I would love these cookies – peppermint and chocolate together is great!

  777. My favorite Christmas cookie is chocolate chip cookies with Christmas M & Ms added to it! Looks so Christmas-y! Thank you for such an awesome giveaway opportunity!!

  778. My all time favorite Christmas cookie is my Gram’s springerle, she made it every Christmas and sent it from California to Chicago. 

  779. Favorite holiday cookie: Snowballs – either chocolate or vanilla from an old Slovak recipe book. I think every culture has their version of these with many different names, but they epitomize the season and bring back childhood memories. 

  780. My all-time favorite holiday cookies are those danish butter cookies because my Grandma always had them out for Christmas!

  781. My two favorite cookies are Banana Chippers – a soft cake like cookie which milk chocolate chips then a chocolate drizzle on top, and Peanut Butter Middles which is a dark chocolatey cookie with peanut butter (not candy, just peanut butter) in the middle. Always the favorite every where I go! PS, it requires a LOT of mixing!

  782. So many different kinds of cookies and so little time.  My favorite cookie is oatmeal, cranberry, bittersweet chocolate chip, walnut cookies, chewy and crispy around the edges. 

  783. My favorite Christmas cookies are espresso shortbread. They are really all the time cookies, but I only make them at Christmas ❄️

  784. My favorite cookies to make with my 5 year old are chocolate chip! She loves to add extra chocolate chips to the food of the cookies.

  785. Love all your recipes, Haven’t tried the peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies yets but making them this weekend. I think buckeyes are my favorite though!!

  786. Oh man! That mixer has been sitting in my cart over at W.S for a week. I’m trying so hard to restrain from gifting myself a Christmas gift
    My favorite Christ cookies to eat and make are pretty basic sugar cookies. My mother and I always make decorated sugar cookies a few days before Christmas and gifted them to our neighbors and friends. Our decorating skills were pretty great ❤️ My runner up cookies would be the gingerbread cookies that I make on Christmas Eve every year now for all of the children to decorate the next day while the adults finish up cooking dinner. They love this tradition and it makes me happy to have a few extra gingerbread men with my coffee for the next few days.

  787. Pumpkin cinnamon cookies are a family favorite. Can’t wait to try these this weekend. We LOVE peppermint bark!

  788. I love your sea salt Carmel choc. Chip cookies. Make them all year but at Christmas time my family loves just home made carmels

  789. These chocolate peppermint cookies look amazing! My favorite Christmas cookie is a special German cookie that must cure for a month! Delicious!

  790. My all time favorite Christmas cookie would have to be my mother’s sugar cookies. They are amazingly beautiful and have a perfect crunch to the buttery insides. Watching all the grandkids sitting around trying to decorate them as fancy as grandma does is one of the highlights to my season and a true family tradition.

  791. 5 stars
    My favorite cookies are the ones my mom used to make in my country and they were almond cookies, I love them but I will try the ginger ones for one of my daughter that loves ginger and they are her favorite and for my other daughter the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies, I copied the recipe, and she loves peppermint and chocolate, I will let you know how they turned out. Thank you for offering the give away it is beautiful! Happy holidays everyone..

  792. My favorite cookie to make for my family and friends is my sugar tea cake cookies.   They definitely don’t last long…..not even long enough to put on the platter.

  793. All time favorite is my mom’s iced sugar cookies.  The ones made with real butter, and lots of icing and sprinkles.  I make tons with my kids and my mom still makes them and sends them in the mail to all of us.   

  794. Your Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookies look amazing. They would be my favorite if you could use your magic to not make them fattening, ha! I love brownies, and have a special place for Mexican Wedding Cakes as I made dozens of batches for wedding favors as our reception had a Mexican fiesta theme.

  795. Chocolate Mocha Butterbalks are my favorite even though I don’t like coffee at all and am not a great fan of chocolate either.  

  796. Excited about the giveaway! My favorite all time Christmas cookie is a snowball recipe I got years ago from Martha Stewart, back when she did that cute little half size magazine that I could never resist in the checkout line. It’s buttery and delicious. Recently tried it with chai tea seasonings and it was great. Can’t wait to try the peppermint bark cookie here!

  797. Pineapple Filled Cookies! A favorite of the whole family. A recipe handed down from grandmother, to mother, to me, and now my girls.

  798. Wow, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer pictured is beautiful! It would look so good on my counter while making baking so much easier. My all time favorite holiday cookie is the mini gingerbread cookie with homemade frosting!

  799. I don’t usually love mint , but Williams Sonoma bark is always an exception! These look delish 🙂
    Otherwise, anything peanut butter and chocolate is always my go to Christmas cookie combo

  800. My favorite Christmas cookies are my neighbors frosted gingerbread cookies. She makes them every year and nobody else makes them like her!

  801. I pretty much love all.the.cookies! But chocolate chip always wins out…with a few holiday colored m&m’s to make them more festive.  

  802. Butterballs/Wedding Cookies – Those little balls of shortbread and butter and coated in powdered sugar. So good!
    This recipe looks amazing too!

  803. 4 stars
    Two comments… you’re right the mixer is beautiful. Second the sprinkle of salt on the bark cookies
    Intrigues me. I think my family would love that. Now, my favorite cookie is a cinnamon butter cookie.
    The recipe came with a set of Sesame Street cookie cutters. It is a roll and cut dough that doesn’t 
    Require refrigeration. It holds up really well to multiple pressings and cooks up in flaky little layers 
    Of delicious crunchy cookie 

  804. 5 stars
    My FAVORITE Christmas Cookie is a Chocolate Crinkle !!
    A close tie is a cutout  Sugar Cookie iced w almond flavored icing !!

  805. My favorite Christmas cookie is the cranberry jumble, which is loaded with white chocolate, dark chocolate, macadamia nuts, and Craisins.

  806. My son & I love chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. I know sounds funny but they are our favorite!!

  807. My favorite Christmas cookie is Eggnog cookies. I’m going to try making the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookies. They look delicious. I made your pumpkin cinnamon chip cookies and the salted caramel chocolate chip. They are both on the top of my families list of favorite cookies. I’ve made several batches and shared them with several people.  Everyone loves them.! I’m a big fan of your site!

  808. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie hands down is the cream waffer. Yes I know it’s bacially icing sandwiched between pie crust covered in sugar. But omg what about that doesn’t sound amazing. 

  809. My favorite cookie has to be cranberry pistachio cookies.  Love the soft, chewy cranberries coupled with the wonderful pistachio taste.  So good!

  810. I love cookies!  I could be considered a Cookie Monster!  But I love making cookies as much or more than eating them.  I often look for an excuse to bake something and am always looking for new and exciting recipes to try.  I think my all-time favorite is a perfectly baked, and not brown, thick sugar cookie with the perfect icing decorated on top.  I don’t like things that are too sweet so I look for ways to cut back on the sugar.  I have been making my sugar cookie recipe for years now and people rave every time I make them!  I love my recipe and love to bake!

  811. Has to be rolled and cookie cutter sugar cookies with frosting!! My boys say Santa won’t visit without these cookies.

  812. Ok so my new favorite cookie as of today will have to be thumbprints! I tried them for the first time and I can’t believe I’ve servived so far without them. 

  813. My favorite cookies are snickerdoodles. My other favorites are family recipes- kolachi, sand tarts, and orange cookies

  814. Favorite holiday cookie is snickerdoodles followed by chocolate peppermint crinkles.  I love chocolate & peppermint combo so can hardly wait to give this recipe a try! Have to get the choc. peppermint bark & hopefully it will make it
    into the cookies before it disappears around here!!!

  815. Hey, I got so excited thinking about chocolate peppermint bark in a chocolate chip cookie I completely forgot to say how amazing it would be to actually win this beautiful mixer! I have a blue kitchen so it would add beauty to my
    counter & I love the hobnail bowl! My mom has a pitcher & a few other pieces that were used since we were children.
    It would truly be a wonderful win!!!

  816. My favorite cookie we make every year is a ginger white chocolate cookie. I have adapted the original recipe to make it gluten free to accommodate dietary needs for my son; amazing!

  817. My favorite holiday cookies are chai spiced snickerdoodles that my sister and I made together for the holiday season! 

  818. My favorite Christmas cookie is unbaked peanut butter balls. I love to make them, and I especially love to eat them!!! Some people call them buckeyes, but I’ve found that those are just half dipped, whereas I dip the entire peanut butter ball in chocolate. One batch makes about 3 dozen, and I have to watch myself or I’ll eat the whole batch myself!! I make them with diced cherries, and I have to make about 1/2 dozen for my one sister-in-law without said cherries because she prefers them straight peanut butter.

  819. It’s a tossup between spritz and Russian tea cakes. I love both and so does my family. This mixer is stunning! Thanks for hosting such a wonderful giveaway. 

  820. Double chocolate chip with mint or peppermint M&M’s have to be my favorite Christmas cookie. Imma have to try these peppermint bark cookies though!  

  821. My new favorite holiday cookie is one I just learned about from my friend, Alex. She calls is her “Holiday cookie” but is an oatmeal craisin cookie dipped in white chcocolate and sprinkled with pecans. It’s literally what Christmas should taste like, and I’m stealing her recipe from now on to share with my family. 

  822. 5 stars
    My favorite is Mexican wedding . I love them more since you gave me the idea of adding candied pecan! Thanks for the good tip.

  823. This cookie recipe looks super yummy and fun. I’ll have trying this tomorrow night while I babysit our new grand baby.

    My favorite achristmas cookie  is Krumkake, an old family recipe from Norway.

  824. I’m still a fan of decorated sugar cookies at Christmas. I am excited to try this Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookie!

    These are so delicious!! 
    But I would have to say my favorite holiday cookies are my grandmothers sugar cookies. They crumble and dissolve into sugary goodness like nothing else!! I’ve tried to recreate them to no avail…must be all the love she bakes into them that make them so incredibly sensational. 

  827. My favorite cookies are ones my friend makes, they’re Italian anisette cookies. They’re delicious with a little bit of icing and sprinkles on top of them.  One year I’ll attempt to make them. 

  828. I have a recipe for spritzer cookies that have been passed down over the generations from my mom’s family from Luxembourg. I run the cookies though an old school  meat grinder with a homemade star tip. I’m honored to have the torch passed to me ❤️

  829. 5 stars
    I just made these cookies today!  I bought the peppermint bark from Williams Sonoma and used your cookie recipe.  My family love them!

  830. It’s so hard to pick one favorite because I love to bake and eat them all!  I will say my favorite is Oatmeal Raisin. 

  831. My favorite all time Cookie would be sugar cookies!  But the recipe above sounds so good especially with the  peppermint bark! Yummo!

  832. 5 stars
    While I haven’t met a cookie I didn’t like, I think my holiday favorite would have to be simple Iced Sugar Cookies. Whether simple or elaborate, they evoke pleasant memories.

  833. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie has  long been the chocolate peppermint crunch . But this Peppermint Bark cookie has gone straight to the top. It’s not the holidays in our family without Williams Sonoma peppermint bark and homemade cookies. The combo is brillent! Love your blog. Peace

  834. My favorite cookie is one my grandmother taught me. She was one month from her 100th birthday when she died & she learned how to make them from her grandmother. They are Latvian Piparkukas, like gingersnaps.

  835. Cut out sugar cookies , are my favorite! 
    It’s the only time of the year I make them , I have 
    My mom’s recipe . They are the best !! 

  836. What a gorgeous mixer!! I’d say my all-time favorite cookie would have to be a traditional chocolate chip. Can’t wait to try this version!   

  837. The peppermint bark cookies look amazing – my favorite holiday cookie is the Scandanavian Almond Bar – it’s so tasty and not hard to make – thanks for the chance at the giveaway

  838. My favorite cookie for Christmas is snowballs/Mexican wedding cookies.  I do a little twist using almond extract instead of vanilla and walnuts instead of pecans.  Yummy

  839. My favorite cookie is a hybrid I make with chocolate chips, pecans, and pretzel pieces. Yummy, sweet, and salty.

  840. I don’t necessarily ha a cookie, I have favorite cookies, like…chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar & butter cookie s combined to have butter sugar cookies( they’re delicious). I enjoy snickerdoodles & cinnamon as well as any bar cookies, but if I really had to choose it would be butter sugar cookes hands down. Who doesn’t like butter & sugar.
    Yes we make them throughout the year, however at Christmas we color & decorate them in festive Christmas colors 

  841. These cookies look so yummy! But the mixer is to die for!! Thank you so much for prompting me to notice!!!

  842. These cookies look amazing! I have William Sonoma peppermint bark on hand so now these are added to my list of cookies to make this Christmas- which starts tomorrow! I make all dough ahead of time scoop and freeze then we have fresh cookies whenever we feel the sweet tooth calling! I love all cookies but a warm chewy oatmeal raisin gets me every time! Love all your recipes!!

  843. Those look delicious! My favorite is my grandmothet’s orange drop cookie. Thanks for the festive recipe & contest. Happy Holidays!

  844. My fave is still my Mom’s Oatmeal Rocks. I can eat them all year round! This is the prettiest mixing bowl ever!

  845. I have to say my favorite are your dark chocolate chili cookies. They’re delicious, unusual, and always get snapped up wherever I take them. Mmmm

  846. Little lady locks our neighbor would always make them at Christmas time and they would completely disappear from the cookie tray!

  847. Chewy chocolate ginger cookies with powdered, fresh & crystallized ginger and large chunks of dark chocolate!

  848. Oh, so many good cookies to choose from! I still love a good, buttery, cut out cookie, decorated or not! Always great with a cup of tea or coffee. Thanks for the giveaway offer….this is a gorgeous mixer! 

  849. My favorite Christmas cookies are Thumbprint cookies.  Not only because of the buttery taste with a tea of sweet jam but I first made them about 15 years ago and my brother- in- law loved them!  I’m not known form baking so his approval was something I always remember.  He passed away a few years ago so I make them every year in remember his dynamic personality.

    Hello
    Im a Pastry Chef who resides just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I’m a follower of your website and always look forward to seeing your “themed” weekly recipes. My favorite cookie of yours that I love to make at this time of year is the Mexican Wedding cookie. I like to swap out the pecans for toasted almonds and use almond extract in place of the vanilla. They add a certain pop to a beautiful assortment of cookies on a platter.
    Keep up your great work !!

  851. My all time favorite are my mother’s butter cookies, rolled thin, cut out, iced and decorated!!! They were soooo delicious… Since today is her birthday (82).. Here’s to her and making Christmas cookies special!!

  852. Love your Recipes! They all look delicious and I cannot wait to make some for our Family Christmas gathering!

    My favorite Christmas cookie is a chocolate crinkle recipe given to my 7th grade Home Ed class.  There are many out there, but none as good as hers.  In fact, a few years ago at my job, we had a taste off and mine won!

  854. We took a poll at my house:

    Dad loves nut cookies (which are a ground nut cookies with Slavic roots);
    Carrie loves Mexican Wedding cookies (sometimes called snowballs);
    Becky loves chocolate crinkles;
    and Mom loves cut-out sugar cookies!

    I’m a huge die heart fan of the two peas and their pod salted caramel pretzel chocolate chip cookies!!!  It’s what I share at cookie exchange. It’s pretty as well as tasty!!!♥️  When the kids come home from college this Christmas…this is the Christmas cookie they want!!!

  856. My favorite Christmas cookie takes me back to a child, that wonderfully soft sugar cookie with sprinkles. Simple but delicious.

  857. My favorite Christmas cookies are pecan crescents. They are short bread and pecans and powdered sugar…oh my! 

  858. My favorite holiday cookie is Butter Pecan Balls. I can’t get enough of them!! (It was hard to pick just one cookie!)

  859. All year long, I’m a pushover for Oatmeal Raisin cookies, but at Christmas I LOVE almond flavored Spritz Butter cookies.

  860. That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Our family has been making sugar cookies from an old Betty Crocker kids’ cookbook for as long as I can remember! I think it’s from the 50’s! I used to sit and read it like a book and imagine what it would be like to make and prepare the food and throw the cool parties! When my mom passed away, I got the cookbook. While my kids were growing up, we made those cookies for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and any other occasion for a yummy fun treat. Now, my daughter is expecting her first baby, and is coming over to make them with her step kids to pass along the tradition. I’m not that old (yet) but I am certainly feeling all the feels of family, tradition and heritage! Wow! Wasn’t planning on going there today! The secret to these cookies is the lemon zest in the dough. Yum!

  861. 5 stars
    My all time favorite cookie is dark chocolate macadamia cookie! Yup! I know it’s not the norm and that white chocolate macadamia is . But I love ❤️ dark chocolate and nuts so this is how I like to bake my favorite cookie. Also, I’ll be trying out this recipe to share at my cookie exchange at work ! Thank you

    Love my Granny’s shortbread! A family favourite at Christmas! But, I am thinking of adding a little peppermint bark this year!

  863. What a beautiful mixer!  And awesome giveaway!  Thank you for the opportunity!  My favorite holiday cookie is a chocolate chip with orange extract and orange zest!  Amazingly delicious and always a surprise!  

  864. My favorite is the Snowball Christmas Cookie. My Aunt always made them for us at Christmas when we came to visit.

  865. This looks beautiful!!my favorite holiday cookie are snickerdoodles! My daughters love to help me roll the cookie dough into the sugar. It’s been a family tradition since I was a kid. Thank you so much for this giveaway!

  866. The favorite cookie of our family is Special K Fruit and Nut cookies. I make a triple batch every year. They are ALWAYS the first to disappear from any cookie trays I bring, (and I make about 10 different kinds each year) and I have to be stern with my family to not start eating them up right away so that there will be enough to last throughout the season!

  867. 4 stars
    My favorite Christmas cookie is my Mom’s Almond Log Refrigerator cookies, lost my Mom a couple of years ago and making them brings back all my childhood memories of making them with her. I taught my kids how to make them and it’s become a tradition with them as well, a simple cookie but one that keeps Mom with us!

  868. My go to cookie is your banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I’ve made these so often I’ve memorized the recipe!

  869. I love and my whole family is with me on this is a great snickerdoodle.  Just can’t bet their soft center and crispy edge.

  870. That mixer is so pretty and those cookies look delicious!

    My favorite holiday cookie is a toss up between peanut blossoms, a really good ginger molasses cookie, and the ginger bear cookies my grandma always made when I was growing up. 🙂

  871. My favorite holiday cookie has to be Holly cookies. I’ve been making them since I was a kid! I’ll have to try these peppermint bark ones though! And I need this mixer for the kitchen in my new house we just bought!

  872. I didn’t make the Peppermint Bark – YET – but I made the Peanut Butter Blossoms. There are many recipes out there for this cookie but my 8 year old Grandson LOVED this one the best. Thank you Two Peas & Their Pod for a beautiful website and wonderful recipes. Merry Christmas.

    Love this recipe! I am a huge fan of peppermint bark, and we all love choc chip cookies. Can’t wait to make this one ❤️

    My family loves Snickerdodles.  But my favorite day to day is the standard chocolate chip. I’m going today to William Sonoma hoping they have some bark left in the store.  These will be my favorite with a cup of cocoa on Christmas Eve 

  878. My favorite are Candy Cane Chocolate Chip cookies. That combo of mint and chocolate, it just seems like the perfect Christmas cookie. I sprinkle chopped up candy canes in my favorite chocolate chip cookie batter. After the cookies have cooled I dip half the cookie in melted dark chocolate and then sprinkle chopped candy cane on them. My family goes crazy over them.

  879. Since I was a little girl, my mom would make little Christmas trees out of a spritz cookie recipe. The subtle almond flavoring was what made these my favorite. She passed away on Christmas Eve 11 years ago. I  carry on her tradition  and make them every Christmas. I have never seen a more beautiful Kitchen Aid mixer in my life. So beautiful and would match perfectly in my kitchen. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. 

  880. My favorite all time Christmas cookie is the good old fashioned sugar cookie. I love them! They are fun to decorate.

    I love making cut out sugar cookies and decorating them with my daughters. My mother made them for us and we decorated them with her every Christmas. I’m keeping the tradition going every year.

  888. 5 stars
    I have two favorite Christmas cookies, Mexican wedding cookies and butter spritz cookies. My husband and grandchildren would say their favorite is sugar cutout cookies, they love decorating them with all the colored sprinkles. It is fun watching my 94 year old mother and husband compete to have the best decorated sugar cookies!  Family baking is one of our most cherished holiday traditions.

  896. Recently made a batch of your Salted Caramel Pretzel Cookies for my church and they all LOVED them!! Several requests for more!! ❤️ Tastiest holiday cookie ever!

  897. Me and my family love to bake cookies together (especially your soft peanut butter cookies!!! ) I like to roll them up and put them in the freezer so we can have fresh cookies whenever we want! I’ve made quite a few of your cookies already and they all seem to do just fine with this trick!

  898. 5 stars
    My absolute favorite Christmas cookie is a simple shortbread…butter, flour, sugar and a pinch of  sea salt. They are not too sweet and I love to put creamy, oozy Brie slices and apple on to for a savory twist. Yum!

  899. Those look so festive for Christmas.  I always make lacy Australian cookies at Christmas time.  I’ll try these too, though. 

  900. 5 stars
    Hot cocoa cookies are my favorite for THIS year!  These are a brand new creation using Kraft Mallow Bits- a bit tricky to find but my friend found them for me at Target!  
    They are very moist and chewy and have a mellow chocolate flavor. 

  901. 5 stars
    My favorite cookie are your snickerdoodles! The recipe is soft and perfect amount of cinnamon. Yum! I can’t wait to try this one. 

  902. My all time favorite cookie recipe is the classic tollhouse chocolate chip, but this peppermint one looks like a fun version to try. 

  903. My favorite cookie is gingerbread men.  So fun to make and decorate.  I wonder if a little peppermint bark would be fun to try on them!  

  904. Hmm…how can you pick a fav cookie? (haha)

    Around this time of year, I love to make the Reindeer sugar cookies. Just roll out and shape the dough into thin triangles – and after cooling from baking, decorate with frosting, mini pretzels for antlers, mini choc chips for eyes, and sliced gum drops for noses. (Rudolph has a red gum drop for his nose, of course!)

    Can’t wait to try these peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies – yummy!

    The stand mixer is awesome – would love to win “Snowflake’s” sister – maybe I’ll call her “Snowdrop”. Currently my mixer is my Mom’s old GE hand mixer from the 1970s. 🙂

  905. My favorite cookie is a chocolate chip cookie. I think I would enjoy your peppermint bark cookies. Merry Christmas 

  906. I think my favorite Christmas cookie is gingerbread cookies. There’s so many to choose from, but if I were to make just one, that would be it.

    Oh how easy it would be to make these luscious cookies winning a William Sonoma KitchenAid mixer.  I also could make my mom recipes handed down, Italian anise, ricotta cookies, wine cookies; not to mention how beautiful the design  of the mixer.  Good luck to whomever wins and happy mixing to you.

  911. Chocolate peppermint cookies are amazing! I ask for them every year during the holidays as a gift cause I just can’t get enough of them. 

  912. I looooooove Alfajores-with dulce de leche filling sandwiched between shortbread like cookies  it is the best!

  913. When it comes to cookies it’s almost impossible to name one favorite,  but I have to say, it is hard to beat a good old chocolate chip cookie!

Imagine both chewy and crunchy bites of vanilla, almonds, coconut, and pineapple. Bet you can’t stop at one cookie. Ergo, great Christmas gifts to family and friends.

    Spritz cookies!  Made with a cookie press, also from Williams Sonoma  are my favorite and most memorable Christmas cookie, when I was a child, yes 50 yrs ago I would make these with my grandmother, buttery little Christmas trees and  red& white small poinsettia flowers. My job was to apply small sprinkles to each lovely shaped cookie. I have continued to makes every year however, my role has changed I know make the beautiful perfect little trees and my daughters apply the sprinkles.  It’s a wonderful tradition that my daughters as well as my self will continue to carry on.  Merry Cookie Christmas

  939. I love chocolate crinkles from the Betty Crocker recipe. They remind me of my childhood and I make them every year!

  940. I have two, cut out sugar cookies. I make them with lemon and then almond frosting…so good. And kiss surprise cookies. It’s an almond cookie with Hershey kiss inside. I don’t really like peanut butter and this is one of the only other recipes I’ve used without peanut butter but using a kiss. 

  941. We take mini snickers and stuff them inside of sugar cookies. Then we roll the whole thing in festive colored sugar. YUM!!!

  958. My all time favorite cookie is the classic chocolate chip cookie but it has to be warm out of the oven.

  959. My favorite holiday cookies are butter nut balls. My grandma has made these since i was little and now i make them with my kids. 

  960. I love just your normal chocolate chip cookies because of the melting chocolate goodness that happens when you bite into it. 

  961. Hard to pick just one, as there are so many different cookies to indulge in during the holidays! One of my favorite cookies is my Mom’s cut out frosted cookies. Peanut butter blossoms and the cookie that is made of rice krispies, peanuts, and white chocolate or almond bark are also some of my favorites!

  962. These cookies look amazing, can’t wait to try them!  My all time favorite holiday cookies are mint chocolate crinkles!

    I love many cookies, but a classic chocolate chip cookie (don’t even think about adding nuts) is, hands down, my all time favorite

  964. My favorite holiday cookie is an orange juice soaked apricot fold over cookie.  My mom makes them every year!  Yum!!!

  965. I love a good sugar cookie! The family recipe we have is always super soft and delicious!  These peppermint cookies look delicious! I’ll have to try them this year! 

  966. Chocolate chip are my very favorite cookies. I had a kitchen aid mixer for over 50 yrs. It worked so well over all the years. I started out the first day I got it by making everything in my cook book one day at a time. I lost my home to a fire and unfortunately the mixer was lost too. In my opinion this is the best mixer anyone could ask for!

  967. My favorite Christmas cookie is Gingerbread men! I only have it during this time so it makes it that much memorable. 

  968. I love to make and decorate gingerbread men every Christmas. I did it with my mom and now with my own kiddos. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

    Definitely the best way to make cookies is with a KitchenAid!! Love this recipe with it’s peppermint deliciousness!!❤️ My very favorite cookie recipe has to be a good old fashioned soft sugar cookie with buttercream frosting! Ok, so really ANY soft cookie recipe is my fave.

  970. pity this contest goes no further than the U.S. I love your blog. I’m French and your recipes make me dream. unfortunately I can’t find all the ingredients here … but I will try to test your Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies! thank you Maria for your gourmet recipes. (and sorry for my english …)

  971. So many favorite cookies but one specific to the holidays are my families “log” cookies!  Chocolate cookie (long like a log) with buttercream chocolate frosting on each end sprinkled with nuts. Takes all day to make but yummy!!

  972. My ultimate favorite holiday cookies are white chocolate and cranberry cookies. I make them every year and bring them into the office – they’re always a hit!

    I also cannot WAIT to try this recipe – you can never go wrong with Williams Sonoma’s peppermint bark 🙂

  974. These cookies look amazing, but my favorite holiday cookie is your soft peanut butter cookies!!! They’re SO easy to make and absolutely delicious!! ❤️

  975. My favorite cookie that I make at Christmastime is a cream cheese sugar cookie topped with spreadable frosting.  I then hand paint the holly leaves and mark the centers with three cinnamon candies.  They are so colorful and fun!  That mixer is so unbelieveably awesome!  I would be ecctatic if I won that!!!

  976. DIfficult to choose just one but my all time favorite Christmas cookie is the peanut butter blossom. Yum!

  977. My favorite cookie is any cookie!!!  😉  I really love Noel nut cookies, much like Mexican can wedding cookies burnt these are with pecans rather almonds.   Yum!!

  978. My favorite holiday cookie growing up was my great grandmother’s Carrot cookies. She would make them every year for us to drive back home with after our Christmas break. The other favorite is my mom’s Butter Spritz cookies sprinkled with colored sugar.

  979. I make these cookies called mandelbread, but they’re more like a biscotti.  The main difference is that instead of being thick slices like traditional biscotti and mandelbread are, they’re sliced very thin and dipped in cinnamon sugar before baking.   They’re delicious!  My husband loves it when I make him molasses cookies and my son loved my Lemon cookies.   All of these I make and share in our cookie exchange at my school!  

  980. Favorite holiday cookie would have to be decorated sugar cookies!!! Christmas tradition every year with the kids or no kids 😉

  983. My favorite holiday cookie was my great grandmother’s Carrot Cookies. They had cinnamon and so tender and they were like eating a carrot cake in cookie form . She made them every year for us when we’d travel back from Colorado on Christmas break. My other favorite is my mother’s Butter Spritz cookie sprinkled in colored sugar. Yummo!! And I’m off to bake some tonight!!

  984. My absolute favorite holiday cookie is a classic spritz cookie but i am oh so fond of peppermint bark so i must give these a try!

  985. Sooo many cookies to choose from! But I have to go with the classic peanut butter blossom cookies that my mom makes. When I was little, I waited anxiously to help put the kisses on the cookie. 

  986. I don’t think I’ve met a Christmas cookie that wasn’t my favorite! But if I had to narrow it down, I’d say your lime coconut snowballs or oatmeal chocolate chip with roasted cinnamon almonds. Yum!

  987. My all time favorite holiday cookie is the simple but classic snickerdoodle! I also love making peppermint bark each year around Christmas time, so I can’t wait to make these cookies. 🙂

  988. 4 stars
    My favorite cookie is my Grandmother’s Kolache cookie. My Great Grandmother passed the recipe down from her mother. We would grind the walnuts by hand which seemed to take forever but so worth the family time. My Grandmother passed a few years ago and my Mother has since taken over the tradition. The cookies are good but not Gramma good. I’d give so much for a day of grinding walnuts with her just once more.

  989. i make very good breads. gingerbread. seitan. just bought a new cookbook about medicinal chocolates. maximum cocoa mass. energy bars. merengue. ezekiel bread.

  990. 4 stars
    As a cookie lover this is a hard decision but I’m going with the Whirligig cookie. It’s a peanut butter based cookie with a whirl of melted chocolate through out.  Delicious like the peppermint chocolate chip recipe here!!

  992. 5 stars

    My all time favorite cookie is my grandmas sugar cookies. I make a cookie tree every year and hang the cookies like ornaments.

  997. I always think of my mom’s homemade ginger cookies! She has made them every year since I can remember. They are so soft and chewy. Love them!

  998. No-bake peanut butter cookies because of the peanut butter and chocolate with oatmeal. Merry Christmas!!!

  999. My favorite Christmas cookie is the Anisette Cookie, and the memories of my grandma and I baking in the kitchen. She would make the dough and I would help roll out the cookies to be baked. We’d have the table lined in wax paper for the cookies to cool on, then we’d dip them in frosting, and my grandma would let me shake the bottle of rainbow sprinkles over the cookies. Now the tradition continues, and I make them for my kids. The smell of them cooking in the kitchen, and one bite brings me back to my childhood with my grandma.

  1000. My Mom’s butterballs. I get them for my birthday in Nov from her (even at 39) then make them again at Christmas for my fam. Basically a Danish or Mexican wedding cookie, but more moist and incredible. Happy holiday’s!

  1001. Favorite Holiday cookie has to be the traditional lemon sugar cookie that i would make with my grandma and mom every Christmas Eve day!  Best cookie- better memories!

  1002. My all time favorite holiday cookie is the peanut butter blossom.  My grandmother made them every year and I continue the tradition.  p.s.  I love the look of the new KitchenAid Mixer!

  1003. I’m making these cookies tonight and am wondering if they’ll bump chocolate crinkles out of “favorite Christmas cookie” spot. YUM. 

  1004. My favourite cookies are the Greek Kourambiethes, they are like little snowballs and just melt in your mouth !

  1005. My all time favorite is a red velvet crackle cookie. Nothing says Christmas to me more than that cookie! 

  1006. A simple chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of the ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate chip cookies is amazing with a few tweaks.  We use salted butter and change ratio to use more brown than granulated sugar.  Without a fail crowd pleasure but these peppermit cookies sound amazing!! 🙂

  1007. 5 stars
    Not exactly a cookie, but definitely a nostalgic holiday treat for me! My mom has made “peanut butter balls” (basically buckeyes except completely covered in chocolate) since i was small and they are my absolute favorite! Everyone I’ve shared them with loves them and asks when she will be making another batch. I hope I win this dream Kitchenaid mixer so I can continue to spread the joy of baking!

  1011. My favorite Christmas cookie is a snickerdoodle and always at anytime a white chocolate macadamia cookie. 

  1012. My favorite all-time cookie is a warm chocolate chip cookie, loaded with a ton of chocolate and straight out of the oven. Life doesn’t get much better than that!

  1014. I love frosted sugar cookies!  We started a family tradition awhile back where we all get together and make holiday cookies to share with all the families!  Such a fun time to sit around the table and frost cookies and catch up with all the family!

    Lisa Kowalski

  1018. My favorite cookies around the holidays are Rosettes with a hint of orange flavor. I only make them around the holidays because they take so long to make. Being that you  have to dip the rosette in the batter, the. Into the  hot oil. 

  1019. My mom has made lemon cream cheese “gems@ since I was little and they are THE BEST holiday cookie. So gooey and soft and easy to eat 20 at once.

  1025. 4 stars
    My all time favorite Christmas cookie is a recipe for butter cookies. It’s simple, you can make them in different shapes using a cookie press, and decorate them in a million different ways. The buttery goodness cannot be beat. It’s an old, old recipe given to me by a friend’s mother.

  1026. Oh these cookies look so good. My favorite holiday cookie is my dads gingersnap cookies. I always look forward to them every Christmas season! 

  1027. My absolute favorite Christmas cookie is my great grandmas sugar cookie recipe. It’s the softest, yummiest sugar cookie ever! I have the best memories making and decorating them with her, and now my son and I make them every holiday season. 🙂 Can’t wait to try this new recipe. Yum!

    My forever and always favorite cookie will be the chocolate mint. Picture this, chocolate cookie, mint frosting, chocolate ganache, sprinkled with Andy’s mints….

  1029. My absolute favorite holiday cookie HAS to be cutout Vanilla Butter cookies that my mother and I make every single year. They’re so simple but they are addicting!!

  1030. So hard to choose just one!! But I’d have to go with my family’s classic Christmas cookie – it’s a sugar crisp, not unlike shortbread but way thinner. I’ve already made two batches this month!! 

  1031. 5 stars
    I have to admit although there are so many different Christmas cookies my favorite has always been the no bake cookies.

  1032. Our favorite holiday cookie to make is the chocolate crinkle  
    Cookie with broken pieces of candy cane. 

  1033. My favorite is a triple chocolate cookie that my dad used to make all the time when I was growing up. I have no idea where he got the recipe, but my sisters and I used to call them “chocolate death cookies” because they were SO rich and chocolatey. They have so much melted chocolate and butter in them that they don’t freeze – they just get really chewy in the freezer, and that’s my favorite way to eat them!

  1034. Galletes de polvo a Mexican cookie that my mom makes. She finally shared the recipe with me and I’m making them tomorrow.

  1035. My all-time favorite holiday cookie is a simple sugar cookie! I love the memories I make with my boys every year in baking them together and decorating them! We also have the tradition of singing happy birthday to Jesus and blowing out a candle for Him before we eat our first cookie!

  1038. This looks absolutely amazing, chocolate chip cookies and William Sonoma peppermint bark are two of my favorite things. I was at William Sonoma today , I wish I had seen this post . I am going back first thing in the am to buy the bark and make these cookies.
    Will send you a pick later. I thank you for the recipe in advance!

  1039. My all-time favorite holiday cookie is my grandmother’s M&M cookies. They bring back wonderful memories of baking with her at the holidays

  1040. These cookies sound delish! And I am dying over the kitchen aid. It keeps popping up in my ads on Facebook and and Instagram. It’s so dreamy!

  1041. These look delish! But my all time favourite holiday cookie has to be classic shortbread! Melt in your mouth deliciousness

  1042. My fav holiday cookie was one my grandma used to make.  They had a soft shortbread base with chocolate melted and spread over top…then sprinkled with hazelnuts and toffee…but I can’t find her recipe!  

  1043. 5 stars
    Might sounds crazy, but potato chip crunchies. Sooo good and that’s the only time my mom made them so it’s a Christmas thing. Haha

  1045. My favorite Christmas cookie would have to be Camilla Saulsbury‘s Exotic Spice Cookies with Ginger, Cardamom and Rose Water.  Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are a close second.

  1052. Those recipe looks delicious! I can’t wait for my peppermint bark to arrive so I can try this out. My favorite Christmas cookie has to be the gingerbread man (mostly bc I married a ginger and the jokes are too much fun to make) but they’re also so much fun to decorate.

  1053. These cookies look delicious! My all time favorite cookies are chocolate chip cookie dough balls. They aren’t baked but still a cookie right? My favorite non homemade cookie are the chocolate dipped Jo Jo’s from Trader Joe’s.

    This recipe looks FANTASTIC but tastes even more AMAZING !!!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful way of using the all – time BEST peppermint bark around. I mean let’s be honest, eating it straight from the tin is perfectly acceptable as well but mixing this yummy chocolate in cookies….. GENIUS !!! 
    My ALL – TIME favourite cookie that smell and taste like Christmas to me are CHOCOLATE CRINKLES !!!! I used to make them every year with my mom, and just like putting up the tree, once the aroma of these cookies baking filled our home we all knew it was OFFICIALLY Christmas. Now with a little elf of my own, we continue the tradition and make these cookies together every year. It brings back a little bit of my childhood and brings a smile to his face.

    Ahhhh my most favorite cookie for this season has to be Orange and Cranberry cookie, and I always add while chocolate drops on top of the cookies to make it even more delicious!!!!!!!

  1089. My very favorite Christmas cookie is peanut butter cookies with a kiss on top! I remember every year growing up making them with my mom and sisters! Now I have a new tradition of my own, making them with my children – 4, 2.5 & 7 months. We would love the beautiful mixer to make them this year!!! 

  1090. OMG!!! I am so excited to try this recipe! I consider myself a chocolate chip cookie master lol, my cookies are pretty amazing. They are my favorite to make!

  1092. 4 stars
    My favorite holiday cookies are thumbprints but with sugar cookie. I’m allergic to peanuts so I cannot have the standard way. I love when people make them with a guava cookie and chow down on them.

    OMG…I recently, last summer, GAVE away my lovely Kitchen Aid Bowl-Lift mixer as I hadn’t used it for YEARS! I gave it to a friend who could not afford a Kitchen Aid as she was a single mom, working hard. She dreamed of a Kitchen Aid for years, so I said if she would pay for shipping I would give her my Kitchen Aid. I live in WA and she lives in MD. So, shipping was hefty!

    Anyway, I’ve since regretted not having a Kitchen Aid (absolutely do not regret giving away my mixer). I have gotten the baking bug (borrowed my sister’s Kitchen Aid). Need the stand mixer as I have had 5 shoulder surgeries and cannot use my Kitchen Aid hand mixer as it does require some strength, which is what I’m short of these days!

    So, I would LOVE to win this BEAUTIFUL Model Kitchen Aid Mixer!!! I’m going to make “Gobs”!! A childhood and family favorite. I guess others call them “whoopie pies”. But in Western PA, where I grew up, they are GOBS!!
    Soft chocolate cookies with a luscious white icing between 2 of them. I’m still looking for my dear mom’s Gob icing recipe…it was different than what I’m seeing online?

    Anyway, that is what I would make: GOBS!!

  1094. my favorite holiday cookie is cutouts.  i only make them this time of year so they always seem more speical and more delicious!

  1095. 5 stars

  1096. I LOVE white chocolate dipped snickerdoodles for the holidays! But I’m going to have to try making these this year too!

  1097. My favorite Christmas cookie recipe would have to be my grandmother’s roll out sugar cookies! So many sweet memories made baking and decorating cookies as a family!

  1141. I think Two Peas and Their Pod’s recipe for  Peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies has the potential for being my favorite holiday cookie.  There are few things I love more at Christmas than William Sonoma  peppermint bark.  Combined with a great chocolate chip cookie recipe and peppermint bark, these cookies must be divine.

    Merry Christmas to all!
    Pam

  1154. My favorite cookie are chocolate chip cookies and also the chocolate kiss candy cookies.  ( we are also peanut butter fudge lovers too! 🙂 )

  1155. My favorite cookie is monster oatmeal, but I always love a chocolate crackle around Christmas time. Teaching my 4 year old daughter (She will be 5 on Christmas eve) to bake has been sooooo fun so cannot wait to make the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies with her. I dont own a kitchen aid mixer and this would be the perfect addition to our baking tradition.

  1156. All other months of the year chocolate chip cookies always win, but in December it’s a giant perfect chewy ginger molasses cookie 😀

  1157. Hi Maria: Thanks for sharing the recipe and the giveaway! My sister and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Peppermint Bark. I get her some every Christmas and we share it and all the other baked goodies. I guess I will have to give this recipe a try because It sounds awesome! I cannot decide on a favorite cookie. I’ve never met a homemade cookie I didn’t like and I love to bake so my fingers are crossed because this mixer is beautiful and I’d love to win! Either way – thanks for sharing this and all the other cookie recipes. I just made a batch of chocolate-peanut butter cup cookies and was going to move on to snickerdoodles so maybe I’ll give these a try as well. Sincerely, Lisa

  1159. I have fond memories of my mom making molasses crinkles at this time of the year. She hasn’t made them at the holidays in ages so I decided to make some and take them to my family Christmas this year. 🙂

  1160. The Peppermint Bark Bookies look like a great addition to add to my list of Christmas cookie musts.
    My favorite Christmas cookies are Scotch Shortbread – handed down from generations of lovely family members. I remember my Great Aunt would make them – the lovely smell and taste couldn’t be beat. Such wonderful memories.

  1161. My favorite holiday cookies are Layered Magic Bars, though Mexican Wedding cookies are a close second and I plan to try your recipe for them.  Chocolate chip are always a favorite, and the peppermint bark twist sounds delicious!

  1163. My favorite holiday cookie is the plane ‘ole sugar cookie. I love it’s versatility and what can I say, I have a thing for sugar!

    Happy holidays!

  1168. My favorite cookie? Any that my Mema made! She always made us (my three sisters and me) homemade cookies so we could take them in our school lunches, and I don’t think any of us could’ve ever picked a favorite! Even now my “favorite” cookie would depend on whichever cookie was in front of me…or if no cookie was in front of me, the time, the season, or my mood! I love any homemade cookies that are baked with lots of love!

  1169. My favorite cookie is peanut blossoms…..brings me right back to my grandma and my mom’s kitchens. It is my kids’ favorite too! Thanks for another year of great recipes and the very generous give away. Snowflake is a perfect name!

    My favorite Christmas cookie was made by my Aunt Mabel, she made a classic sugar cookie and poured an orange glaze over them.  The best confection was made by my grandmother, she made Goofballs with chopped dates, coconut, Rice Crispies and pecans held together with beaten egg and sugar.

  1172. Last year my sister and I made pretzel-caramel-chocolate-chip-sea-salt cookies! What made them super cute was rolling the dough around the caramels so that the inside of the cookie was gooey and caramel-filled I hope to make them again with her this year!

  1173. I absolutely love this cookies Maria!
    My all time favorite are chocolate chips, but I don’t think they are festive enough, so I made sugar cookies each Xmas!
    Have a wonderful time this season dear

    My favorite Christmas cookies are Russian Teacakes. I love making them and giving them away. Of course, I save a few for our house!

  1181. My favorite Christmas cookies are Russian Tea Cakes! Can’t wait to try your recipe with the candied nuts. 🙂

    My favorite cookie is the Chinese Almond Cookie.  With my best friend, a Chinese young lady, I made them for her upcoming wedding reception!  This was accomplished in the large, sunny kitchen of her parents’ home, while her mother – who spoke almost no English – oversaw the mixing and baking!  It was one of the loveliest days in my young life.
    Perhaps, because of that sweet memory, this has remained my favorite cookie.

  1183. My favorite cookies are my mom’s chocolate chip cookies, made with the Kitchen Aid recipe and standing mixer. Kitchen Aid has by far the best classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, and somehow my mom has the magic touch and makes them better than anyone. I would love the chance to practice the recipe [and yours] with my own standing mixer. 🙂 Thanks for the entry!

    My favorite cookie would definitely have to be Molasses Cookies with a partial dip of melted high grade white chocolate. Oh my goodness. 

    (I absolutely am making the Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies however. I showed them to my kids and the main ingredients. I’m on the hook for them now!! Lol 
    That’s alright I mayyyy want them too )

  1185. My favorite cookie is a chewy molasses cookie! My grandma would freeze them, and when we went to visit, her freezer was the first stop in the house. Mmmm. So good!

    My favorite Holiday cookie is an Austrian cookie my Oma made called kipferl. They are filled with ground nuts, poppyseed, or your choice of fruit jam. Apricot is a favorite! I’m now teaching my grandchildren how to make them. 

  1187. I only recently tried a holiday cookie chock-full of nuts, dried fruits, and candied ginger! The ginger adds an amazing zingy-ness and I love it! Will definitely try your peppermint bark cookie recipe as well! It looks delicious! 🙂

    My most favorite cookie this Christmas is a chewy gingerbread. I’ve made several batches already & setting up to make a few more this week! These cookies are gingerbread all the way but for those (like me) who favor chewy, soft cookies, these are it!

  1189. My favorite cookies are the ones my mom makes every year and my sister and I help her. We make cut out sugar cookies, ginger snaps, and orange slice cookies! 

  1190. I have another favorite holiday cookie. My Gram, may she Rest In Peace, we used to make White chocolate peppermint butter cookies.  Every Christmas, we would wake up at 6 am and drive from Florida to Louisiana. My Gram and I had this cookie and a chai spice dark chocolate shortbread we would make, and an orange cinnamon cookie, as well as a delicate Rum Eggnog cookie. But our favorite as well as my family’s: the White chocolate peppermint butter cookies. I found my recipe in her cookbook last night.

    Just made my mother’s Swedish butter cookies with cardamom. They never taste as good as her’s did but the smell reminds me of Christmas.

  1192. 4 stars
    My favorite Christmas cookies are acorns that my mother used to make by shaping brown sugar shortbread on a spoon, dipping the tip in chocolate and then in diced walnuts. The finished cookie resembes a real acorn. LIttle children could definitely help with this one.

  1193. Cannot wait to make this cookie!

    My favorite Christmas cookie is a dark mint indulgence. It’s a minty, dark chocolate cookie with dark chocolate chips. Then, dipped halfway in milk chocolate and sprinkled with chopped creme de menthe chocolate candies. 

  1194. 5 stars
    My favourite cookie recipe is your Chocolate Peppermint Crumch Cookies. I love the blend of chocolate and peppermint flavor and the chocolate chips and peppermint pieces.

  1195. I have a long list of  cookies I make at Xmas. All four kids have their favorite. 
    Thumbprint cookies are one of those.  And I have lots of little thumbs to help me make them.

  1196. 4 stars
    My favorite cookie recipe from Two Peas is the White Chocolate Peppermint cookies. My family and friends love these cookies and request them every year. Love your blog!

  1197. I love this time of year baking all kinds of cookies, raspberry thmbprints , shortbread, italian cookies, soft anise biscotti. I am definitely going to add Maria’s flourless peppermint chocolate cake and molasses blondies, both sound amazing. Thank you for all the great recipes Merry Christmas to you and your family

  1198. I’ll never say no to any type of Christmas cookie but my favorite holiday cookies are good old decorated sugar cookies with frosting.  Otherwise I’m chocolate chip all the way! 

  1199. My mom’s shortbread cookies. Our kids made these for Santa when they were little. Our kids are in their 30’s and we still make these every year. They are so delicious !

    I love the peppermint bark.  I use my favorite choc. Chip revipe @ put the peppermint bark with choc. Chips. The cookies sre yummy. Also use just the peppermint bark. Yummy!!

  1201. 5 stars
    My favorite is the choc. Chip cookie.   i use a combination of choc. Chip & peppermint bark and they’re yummy. 

  1202. I’m crazy about Snickerdoodles all year long
    and especially at Christmas.
    They taste not only homey and comforting
    but festive also.

  1203. It’s so hard to pick a favorite holiday cookie…so many to choose from! If I had to choose a COOKIE, it would probably be peanut butter cookies with hershey’s kisses in the center (chocolate and peanut butter in one bite: yum!). But, my absolute favorite holiday TREAT isn’t a cookie, but a mocha truffle. I love coffee, and I love chocolate, and these little truffles are amazing…and they freeze well so I can continue to have little treats long after the holidays are over.

  1204. My all time favorite Holiday Cookie is chocolate chip!  Just a plain chocolate chip cookie!  No fancy cookie is needed!

  1205. My favorite Christmas cookie are sugar cookies with red and green colored sugar on them, lots of sugar on them!!

  1206. My favorite Christmas cookies are lemon sugar cookies (thanks for the recipe) :-). My husband asks for them every year!

  1207. My absolute favorite Holiday Cookie is the Mirropress Christmas Tree cookie!  My mother started making them, which I then did and now my daughter carries on the tradition. 

  1208. 5 stars
    I love blogs, but I especially love this one because they are in it together. And that’s how all good relationships stay good relationships. My favorite Christmas cookie recipe is buried in the list of several. Ooh, it’s too hard to nail down one favorite.  I do have a traditional Christmas treat I always make though and my husband does not like to share and that’s candied orange peel. I bake several different cookies each Christmas and try to do the unusual. Like lace cookies, ricotta cookies, shortbread, etc.   
    Biscotti is always a must. Well, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Keep up the good fun, cooking and sharing. 

  1209. Hard to pick just one.. but my Aunt Millie’s shortbread is at the top of the list..

    This mixer is gorgeous.. I haven’t seen this model before.. Thank you.

  1210. My all time favorite are my mom’s butter cookies that we would icing and decorate. I am now baking them with my grandsons carrying on the tradition!

  1211. 5 stars
    My favorite holiday cookie is the walnut wedding cake cookies.  They are so rich you can only eat a couple, but they are absolutely delicious.

  1212. A couple of years ago you posted a recipe for a Chocolate Ganache Peppermint Cookie. I absolutely fell in love with it and have been making it ever since. It’s one of three cookies I include in the tins I make for the office every year! 

  1213. All time favorite holiday cookie — raspberry thumbprints, yum! 

    We love peppermint bark in our house, so we will definitely be trying this chocolate chip version soon! 

  1214. This 100th Anniversary KitchenAid mixer is my new favorite… lovely and simply elegant and blue is favorite color! My birthday was in even in this month and snowflakes are one of my favorite things! 
    My favorite Christmas cookie is a Dark chocolate cookie with crushed peppermint! 

  1215. My favorite Christmas cookie, is a soft chewy molasses cookie. I made for our church bazaar, and they all were sold.  Everyone loved them. Also, I switched up the traditional Russian tea cakes. I shape them into to crescents, and use my states nut, which is hazelnuts, instead of pecans.
    Thanks, 
    Sandie

    Honestly, my favorite holiday cookie is anything that is made for me and delivered! Have had two deliveries this last week and each one was a definite treat and put a smile on my face. The soft peanut butter kiss thumbprints and decorated gingerbread puffs were amazing.

    My favorite cookie is a hard question it would be easier to say what isn’t anything with coconut. My very favorite has always been the Mexican Wedding cookies. They just melt in your mouth so yummy.

  1222. My favorite cookie is super basic. I love the sprinkle sugar cookies. It just has so many memories and are so delicious. They go back to great grandmas and even so many new memories. You can never go wrong with the basics.

  1223. I really love gingersnaps… So much… But these peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies might just need to go into the rotation! YUM!

  1224. I love gingerbread cookies! simple the essence of the holidays for me. a close second are chocolate krinkles.

    I love any cookie. I’m a lover of simple basic. During the holidays my Grandma always made gumdrop cookies that I loved. We make them every year at Christmas to carry on her tradition. I’d love to make them this year in this beautiful mixer. I’ll name mine too.
    Happy Holidays

  1229. My favorite Christmas cookie changes all the time-there are too many good ones to pick. Today I’m going to say it’s peanut butter blossoms because yum. They are always delicious 🙂

  1230. My favorite cookie recipes comes from my grandma. She made Chocolate Chip Cookies with instant pudding mix folded into the batter. She would freeze bags of these cookies so that they were available year round. As a child, I took many a time to the garage “to get something” so that I could also snag a cookie or two while I was out there.

  1231. I love to make peanut butter blossoms, reminds me when my daughter was younger….her taking the wrappers of the candy, me mixing and rolling the cookies while we talk and laugh.

  1232. Being all Italian, I have made Anisette cookies every year and it is a tradition
     as well as a favorite in our family.  We also love love Chocolate and Pecan Teatime Tassies, they are also part of our Christmas celebration.

  1233. 5 stars
    My favorite all time Holiday and any day cookies are the Chocolate Chip Cookies, I always increase the number of chocolate chips and y family and others always ask for these before any other cookie.

  1234. My favorite cookie is Oatmeal chocolate cookie. It is easy to make and one can add raisins, nuts, flaxseeds, chcolate chips, etc. Can also be prepared without a mixer.

    I always enjoy your postings.

    Thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you and family. Best wishes for the New Year!

    P.S. I have not tried the peppermint-bark-chocolate chip-cookies as of yet.

  1235. My favorite are my family’s sugar cookies! Something about the crisp esges and buttery frosting make them addicting. It’s also fun to sit down and decorate them together 🙂

  1236. So hard to decide but today I love the cut out cookies the best! Tomorrow will probably be peanut butter blossoms! 

  1237. Old school chewy thick gingerbread straight out of the oven…nothing can beat it. It’s straight #heaven

  1238. Every year I make your Brown Butter Snickerdoodles, and they are the hit of my cookie gift tins. Thank you so much for the recipes.! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  1239. My fave is Samta’s favorite Cookies. It’s a chocolate chip M&M pudding cookie – we use semi-sweet & white chocolate chips. So delish!!

  1240. They are not exactly cookies, but my family can not get through Christmas without buckeyes! You can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate!

  1241. My favorite holiday cookies are sugar cookies with royal icing! I’ve been working on my decorating skills and making my own icing, so this mixer would be perfect!! 

  1242. 5 stars
    There is something so nostalgic about sugar cookies at Christmas.  I love getting out all the cookie cutters and letting my girls do whatever they want without me hovering over them the whole time.  

  1243. My favorite cookie is soft gingerbread. My grandma used to have an annual cookie day with all her grandkids mid December when she was alive. We continue her tradition with my daughter today. This cookie is always on our list!

  1244. I love all cookies, especially chocolate chip! But if I had to choose my favorite holiday cookie it would have to be the classic sugar cookie with lots of yummy frosting 🙂 

  1245. My favorite cookie to make is Sugar cookies.  I have the best recipe ever!!! They are iced with a scrumptious buttercream icing. 

  1246. I would have to say a simple sugar cookie is my favorite cookie during the holiday season. I enjoy them have a little sprinkle and chewy! 
    Happy Holidays  & thanks for all the wonderful recipes you share! 

  1247. My favorite Christmas cookie is hands-down my Grandma’s homemade gingerbread men! They’re huge, soft and so delicious!

    I love your blog and can’t wait to try your cookie recipes! My favorite is peppermint chocolate chip . Which would look so beautiful being mixed in that kitchenaid stand mixer

  1253. All time favorite holiday cookie would have to be Snickerdoodle! I’m trying to win this mixer for my mom. Hers broke yesterday and I couldn’t even imagine with all the cookies she is baking

  1254. My favorite cookie for the holidays are my sugar cookie cut outs. Of course they’re super yummy, but that’s not the only reason they’re my favorite. I think I love making them because it means I get to spend time with my kids decorating them. My “kids” are adults now with busy schedules but we always make time to spend a day together decorating cookies. It’s precious time to me. I think more so as the years go by. 

  1255. Choco mint snappers… a request from my sweet boyfriend that he remembered from my childhood. I modified a few online recipes to perfect them!

  1256. My favorite Christmas cookies are a cookie my grandma used to make called cherry Winkies. I loved them! I have her recipe, but they just never taste as good as when my sweet grandma made them.

  1257. I absolutely love making the classic whipped shortbread and for that you need a good mixer. Mine ids dying! It is making a funny noise and seems like the power ebbs and flows!!

  1258. All time favorite holiday cookie is peanut butter buck eyes .  But of course I could eat them all year long.  This kitchenaid mixer is gorgeous 

  1259. I love Christmas for so many reasons! To make goodies, have something warm in my cup, cook amazing meals and above all spend time with family. Life is so short.

  1260. My favorite Christmas cookie is the classic sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting, brings back so many good memories and they’re delicious! 

  1261. I love a ginger almond biscotti that I make. Chunks of crystalized ginger and toasty, crunchy almonds make a delicious cookie!

  1262. My favorite cookie that my mom made for Christmas  was Italian chocolate spice cookies. Some people call them meatball cookies. Brings me right back to my childhood and the most wonderful memories of Christmas  

  1263. All time favorite holiday cookie had to be decorated sugar cookies. May not be our favorite to consume, but they bring back wonderful memories of my childhood where we would spend Christmas Eve decorating the cookies while my mom baked. Now I share the same tradition with my boys.

  1264. I love Mexican wedding cookies and your recipe is my favorite! I discovered it last year and when I made them, my family went nuts over them. Thanks for all your yummy recipes!

    Hello.

    I saw this recipe many years ago when it was used in a cookie making event. After Dinner Mints were used. They are less sugar and I could tolerate them. I don’t like really sweet cookies, they are very good.

    Hello.

    I saw this recipe many years ago when it was used in a cookie making event. After Dinner Mints were used. They are less sugar and I could tolerate them. I don’t like really sweet cookies, they are very good. My favorite cookies are Russian Gingerbread Cookies. They are spicy with a kick. I made them for the restaurant and they were a hit!

  1270. Peanut Butter Blossoms have been a Christmas favorite for years! My aunt always made them and they were first to disappear off the Christmas eve cookie tray. Heavenly!

  1271. I just got some peppermint bark from WS and am hoping to make these this weekend! How many sheets of the bark did you use to make the 2 cups worth? Want to make sure I leave enough to make the recipe because I’m tempted to eat all of it before then!! Thanks!

    1. Ha! I love this. It is so good! I am trying to remember. I think 1 sheet should do it…maybe save 1 1/4 sheet to be safe:)

    Hey I just made these with some homemade peppermint bark and they are delicious. I am going to share the rest with my family.
