“This year marks my fourth holiday season moderating the comments for Simply Recipes, and it's easily one of my favorite jobs ever. The comments that you readers share create a thousand little windows into family traditions and seasonal joys. I celebrate your baking triumphs and troubleshoot issues ("Can I swap X for Y?") in the comment threads.
The action ramps up big-time come December when millions of home cooks around the world seek out cookie recipes for holiday baking. I've made many of the recipes below myself. They're honestly the top Christmas cookies on Simply Recipes in exact order. A lot of them come from our contributors' own families, passed from generation to generation, and then to the entire internet. They truly have stood the test of time.”
