The holiday season always puts me in the mood to do some baking! There’s nothing like mixing together a batch of cookies with Christmas music playing.
This year baking (or cooking, for that matter) looks a little different for me with a baby in the house. It definitely took a lot longer than usual to get these cookies baked and decorated.
You’ll probably have most of the tools necessary for this recipe in the house, such as cookie sheets, a rolling pin and Christmas cookie cutters. Another item you’ll need is the cookie sticks pictured above.
I’ve found them at Walmart or at crafting stores such as Michaels. If you don’t feel like searching for them at your local store, you can order them on Amazon for cheap!
My favorite part of making Christmas cookies like these is decorating them! When I was growing up we had an annual “cookie baking day” right before Christmas with all my aunts and cousins. We always had a lot of fun frosting and decorating sugar cookies. It brings back memories to make them again!

Once your cookies are all decorated, keep them covered on the counter and they will last for a few days. They are great for sharing! Give them as gifts or bring them to holiday parties.
I’m sharing this recipe as a part of “The Sweetest Season Cookie Exchange.” A bunch of amazing food bloggers are sharing all sorts of cookie recipes this week. Be sure to check them out!

Instructions
- In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.

I love that William ‘helps’ you in the kitchen. 🙂 I miss the days of Lady Baby being as small as him, as she loved to watch. Now, she wants to help, and it gets messy quick. 😉 That said, we have a blast, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
And these cookie pops – swoon! Well done, woman! I’m definitely gonna try some of these this year and decorate them with my overeager toddler, hehe. Thanks for baking up such a delicious recipe for The Sweetest Season!
