So, what cookies are going to compliment your prelit Christmas trees?
Delicious Christmas Cookies to Pair with Your Sparkling Prelit Christmas Tree
Almost any type of cookie you can think of is going to be great to eat with milk around your prelit Christmas trees. However, if you are looking for cookies that scream Christmas, and that are only served during this time of the year. We have a list of those that you may want to consider ordering from your local bakery or making on your own!
1. Gingerbread Men! You cannot go wrong with this treat, as this is one of the most commonly known Christmas themed cookies out there. And thankfully, they are easy to find premade. Make this even more fun by decorating these with the entire family.
2. Sugar cookies in the shapes of reindeer, stars, Santa and other Christmas shapes that you can decorate with sugar cookie icing.
3. Chocolate chip mint cookies take the regular chocolate chip cookie adding a dose of peppermint to give that Christmas feeling!
4. Regular oatmeal cookies with red and green candies to give them a dose of Christmas cheer.
5. Peanut butter balls…while these are not a cookie, they are a dessert that gets labeled as something that is only made during the holiday season. To add a little more spice to these, consider topping them with a few chunks of crushed peppermint.
6. Thumbprint cookies that have a little jam in them. You will want to go with whatever jam that you like best, but during Christmas, a lot of people go with a berry jam.
Of course, if your family is not a cookie lover, you are going to find that you can bake brownies that had some added Christmas cheer to them, such as peppermint, chocolate candies, and the like. This whole idea is not about what you are eating, but about enjoying the beauty of the tree that you just decorated and spending some time with your family.
