Well, friends, just like that, Thanksgiving is over and we make a quick switch to the Christmas season. It’s coming fast and furious, ready or not. Time to start thinking about Christmas cookies!

To help your planning, I thought it would be nice to have all my favorite Christmas cookies and Christmas desserts and sweets on one page. You can save this to your Pinterest page and refer back to it as often as you need during the holiday season. I’ll add my newest recipes to this page as I post them this season.

All of the recipes here are from Happy Healthy Mama. There’s a wide variety of options for different dietary needs, which I specified for you. My Christmas cookie recipes that are not gluten free generally use whole wheat pastry flour.

If you can’t find whole wheat pastry flour * or prefer not to use it, all-purpose flour can be substituted in the same amount. I recommend unbleached all-purpose flour.

Enjoy my lists!
