It's one week until Christmas! So exciting! One of my favorite Christmas traditions is making our favorite goodies and bringing them to friends and neighbors (usually with a carol too!). If you do this same tradition and are looking for new recipes to make and share this season we've rounded up 16 of our cookie recipes for you guys.

Cookies with Chocolate

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Fudge Mounds- You can't have a better chocolate cookie than this. It's cake-like texture makes it so scrumptious, especially paired with a plain vanilla frosting. These are so easy to decorate for Christmas too.
2. Chocolate Dipped S'more Bars- these are no bake but seriously so delicious!
3. Vegan Chocolate Chip- Don't forget about your vegan friends.They need a special treat this season too and these cookies will not disappoint vegans and non-vegans alike!
   
4. Chocolate-Chip Peanut Butter- Is there an any more magical combination than Chocolate and Peanut Butter? Probably not. This cookie holds all that magic you need for the season.
5. Zebra Cookies- A classic chocolate chip cookie but with a fun twist.

     7. Owl Cookies- If you have an owl lover in your life they'd be delighted to receive these adorable 
        cookies on their holiday plate.
    8. Cookies to Hang on a Mug- Use our sugar cookie recipe to make these cute treats that hang
        nicely on your mug of cocoa (made from a hot cocoa bomb of course)!
    9. Marbled Sugar Cookies- Although our original recipe was about autumn, this could be easily
        adapted for Christmas by swapping out the shapes and colors. These are great when you just
