Baking Christmas cookies is such a fun way to celebrate the holidays. Just put on some Christmas music, light the tree, and bust out those baking ingredients. And, really, nothing beats the taste of sugar, especially when you can enjoy eating it with a loved one. But what we love most about holiday cookies is that there are so many to choose from. From gingerbread cookies to snow globe cookies and sprinkle cookies, we could bake for days. And some of the best recipes we've made lately have come from TikTok! The social media app is full of fun holiday-cookie-themed videos that show you how to make different treats in a few easy steps. Keep reading to see some of our favorites, but be warned: you definitely won't be able to stop at just one, so get ready for lots of cookie baking in your future.
