Recipe Description
When I was younger my aunt used to always drop packages off at Christmastime filled with sorts of cookies. That inspired me to make this post for five Christmas cookies one dough. I made one basic cookie dough and added in several different things to make them a whole new cookie. It’s a great way to get creative and have a little fun too!
All of the different cookies look so gorgeous in the gift box. This cookie dough tastes amazing too. It has a crispy bottom and a chewy top. They do spread some regardless of whether you chill it or not. The cookies tend to be thicker with things in them like chocolate chips, candies, and sprinkles. They are slightly thinner if you make them into thumbprints, topped with a chocolate, or plain so you can frost them.
