Sometimes creativity and simplicity come together in the kitchen and result in an idea that makes you say, “Now why didn’t I think of that before?” These super-cute and customizable Santa cookies started with an unbelievably easy twist: turning a heart-shaped cookie cutter upside down. With that simple move, the pointy end becomes Old St. Nick’s hat and the lobes of the heart make a full and fluffy beard. And speaking of simplicity, these cookies are oh-so-easy to make since the two key ingredients are Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix and Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting. Where you go from there is up to you! Choose sprinkles, mini marshmallows, and candies of all kinds—and let the kids get in on the fun. Just be sure to have them ready to go by the time you hear footsteps up on the housetop. Leave them out with a glass of milk for a treat that’ll make Santa smile.

Get ahead of the holidays with this make-ahead recipe that’s easy enough for a novice baker! It all starts with the tried-and-true shortbread formula: sugar, butter and flour. These three basic ingredients—plus a dash of vanilla—are all that’s needed to make a dough that bakes up into almost inexplicably buttery and tender cookies, so they’ve got substance, as well as style. Their swirled look is the result of a little bit of food color and Betty’s clever technique. Dough gets divided into three parts, dyed and recombined. A little bit of gentle kneading is all it takes to add the holly-jolly swirled effect!

Try a new twist on a peppermint stick this Christmas! Fudgy chocolate cookie “sticks” get dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies for a treat that’ll really stand out on your cookie tray—but doesn’t actually require much hands-on time. Unlike cutouts or drop cookies, these easy cookies are cut from a slab of dough and cut into sticks after baking. This quick process leaves you with more time for decorating, which is a fun way to involve little bakers who will love dipping, sprinkling or even just licking bowls!

These chocolate cookies have a festive burst of Christmas sprinkles on top, but they're even more than meets the eye! HERSHEY'S cocoa and HEATH milk chocolate toffee bits get folded into Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix for a tender, chocolaty dough that's studded with bursts of crunchy, buttery toffee. And where traditional thumbprints get a filling of jam in the middle, these indulgent treats get a dollop of silky chocolate ganache, easily made with HERSHEY'S milk chocolate chips, butter and cream. They'll spruce up any cookie tray, but it's the taste and texture that'll have your guests raving.

Like the frothy topping on a cup of cocoa, these swirled chocolate meringue cookies are light, airy and—of course—dotted with marshmallows. For those who didn’t grow up with meringues as a holiday cookie tray staple, it’s a great time to get familiar with this delicate cookie. As alternative diets and gluten sensitivities become more prevalent, it’s important to bake at least some cookies that’ll make all your guests feel jolly, no matter how they eat! Like all meringues, this cookie does not use any flour, so it’s gluten free. But we firmly believe that this cookie is much more about what is included than what isn’t. Mixing Hershey’s™ Special Dark™ cocoa in to part of the batter not only delivers rich chocolate taste (quite an accomplishment for a cookie that’s so airy) but it also makes a beautiful swirl that makes them eye-catching. These cookies are perfect for bakers who want to expand their baking skills. Be sure to read the recipe all the way through before you start—a good idea for any cookie—so that you’re set up to succeed!
