Best X-Mas Cookie: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

White chocolate and macadamia nuts are such a classic combo that you’d be considered crazy if you haven’t at least tried them together at some point. These cookies are typically served nice and soft, and they’re even better warm and super fresh right out of the oven. Given that Hawaii is super famous for their deliciously local macadamia nuts, this cookie just  had a place right here!

Best X-Mas Cookie: Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Cookies

Idaho is known for potatoes, and if you didn’t know that already then go and look it up. This was nowhere on a list of classic cookies per 50 states of the US. I’ve had chocolate covered potato chips (Lay’s came out with some holiday ones and d*** are they great). These are super salty, super sweet, and oh-so delicious; if you haven’t tried this delish combo yet, go do it right now!

Best X-Mas Cookie: Homemade Peppermint Patties & Holiday Cornflake Cookies

Starting out with the Homemade Peppermint Patties, this is basically a way to make your own version of Yorks. Peppermint is such a classic flavor around the holidays that it’s just so dang hard to pass up making something with that sort of flavor inside of it. Dark, milk, or white chocolate!

Next up are the Holiday Cornflake Cookies! What could be better than a rolled up version of butter, cornflakes, and sugar, am I right?! You can make these in any sort of holiday shape, and for any holiday anytime during the year as well! Enjoy these and get all buttered up y’all!

Best X-Mas Cookie: Church Window Cookies

Personally, I’ve never heard of these types of cookies before. They not only look delicious, but they will also be a hit with the kids of the fam as well. These are basically a normal cookie dough (whatever flavor you choose), and to make the stained glass ‘church windows’, you use multi-colored marshmallows! This is not only kid-friendly for their tastes, but also super fun to bake!

Best X-Mas Cookie: Swedish Kringla

These are something completely and totally new to me. They are super fluffy and sweet, and from multiple different pictures and recipes that I’ve done my research on, they look ‘undressed’ or ‘unfrosted’. However, I do believe that they would still be just as equally delicious with some sort of frosting or light lemon-lime sort of glaze. Whatever way to bake them, make them great!
