You have to go to each site to print them out Melodie. This post is a roundup of wonderful recipes I have found. Enjoy them, you will be able to print them all!!

All of these cookies look absolutely wonderful!! What a great collection

I don’t usually have much of a sweet tooth, but looking through this post I’m suddenly very hungry…

There are so many great cookie recipes to choose from! Thanks for sharing my Linzer cookies, Tara

You can freeze the cookies not just the dough….correct? If yes, how long can they be frozen and approximate time to thaw out. Thank you!

Yes you can freeze the cookies, most can be done at least a month or two ahead of time. I start my Christmas baking in November and they are always fine. As for thawing they don’t take long. I put out cookies from the freezer on a tray that I am serving them on and an hour before is sufficient. I always pack my cookie boxes for gifts straight from the freezer too!

Love this idea! How do you store them in the freezer? Wrap up in plastic bags?

I put them in cookie container, usually my Christmas ones with wax paper on the bottom of the container.

do you ice the cookies, then freeze them? Specifically the gingerbread/reindeer ones. or do you thaw then ice them?

I have done both, but they freeze just fine with the icing too!

Seriously, I think the only way to be ready for Christmas is to start making cookies in September. I love the idea of freezing the cookies to bake when the holiday hits. It makes it so much easier!

I totally agree, so much to do for just one month and you feel very organized then. I start early and have them all ready and waiting!!

There are so many awesome ideas here. I love that they are all freezable options too! The holiday season is a busy one.

What do you use for Frosting?

For which cookie are you referring to Kim?

26 Freezable Christmas Cookie Recipes

It is time to get baking everyone and filling that freezer with wonderful cookies. I stow all of mine in the freezer and then when it is time to serve or make up gifts I have a huge variety to choose from and so will you now with 26 Freezable Christmas Cookie Recipes. The extra fridge is where the chocolates live as they are added to the gift packages also. My list varies every season, trying new and different cookies but there are always some family favorites that are tradition in our household.

For storing them in the freezer I always use my Christmas cookie containers I have saved up over the years. I lay wax paper on the bottom of each container. You can also use any plastic containers or freezer bags but be careful not to break the cookies if they are in bags. Most cookies can be made and frozen 60 days ahead of time. I start my baking in November and it is all in the freezer and ready then for Christmas. For thawing, I fill a tray, the one I will serve from and cover with plastic wrap. They will thaw in 30-60 minutes. Happy Baking!!

I hope you enjoy making your list and creating some new cookies for your holiday season. I have divided them into two groups of chocolate and non-chocolate!! Happy Baking Everyone!!
