Perfect Sugar Cookies Recipe

Perfect Sugar Cookies Recipe – the best chewy sugar cookies with vanilla cream cheese frosting and festive sprinkles!

Perfect Sugar Cookies with sweet vanilla cream cheese frosting make an appearance on our holiday table each year. This is the cookie we leave for Santa ( along with oats for the reindeer! ). They are chewy, with slightly crispy edges and can be dressed up for any theme and occasion. I adapted my Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies recipe to get the same perfect texture and look. These cookies are bound to become a family favorite!

These Sugar Cookies are perfect for a few reasons: they are super easy to make, the can be frosted and decorated with sprinkles or enjoyed plain. They are chewy, sweet with slightly crackly tops and frosted with my favorite cream cheese frosting.

Gingerbread Cookie Bars – chewy and perfectly spiced cookie bars with sweet vanilla frosting and festive sprinkles are easy and delicious!

Aside from classic cookies and our favorite candies and fudge, cookie bars are a must for Christmas parties and get-togethers. They are a great alternative if you need a treat fast or if you are not feeling like making individual gingerbread men or drop cookies.

These Gingerbread Bars are perfectly spices and chewy, thanks to my all-time favorite recipe for Ginger Molasses Cookies. So many of you made them and love them as much as we do so I knew the bars would be as delicious! The cookies are rolled in sugar just before baking but these bars are frosted with tangy and sweet vanilla cream cheese frosting and dressed up with festive Christmas themed sprinkles.

Peppermint Pretzel Candy recipe – crunchy pretzels topped with peppermint Kisses candy and M&M’s makes for a festive holiday treat that is fun to make and eat!

It is a tradition in our house, to make Pretzel Candy treats for Christmas. Each year, we create an assembly line and with a kid on each station, we make a ton of pretzels topped with chocolate, caramel, M&M’s or sprinkles. They are so fun to make and eat and even pack in treat bags and give to family and friends. Last year, our Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites were super popular but this year we went with peppermint as the flavor theme. Peppermint is a must for Christmas and I am absolutely obsessed with peppermint chocolate treats!

These Peppermint Pretzel Candy are colorful, festive and delicious! Crunchy, slightly salty, pretzels are topped with Peppermint Kisses are a fun addition to any holiday treats table.
