[This is a repost from the original 12 Days of Christmas]
The holidays are upon us and Christmas joy is in the air. There is perhaps no more highly anticipated and delicious holiday task than baking cookies. Here’s a selection of my favorite Christmas cookies!
O Tannerbaum Cupcakes
Serve this snowy dessert this holiday season. A fluffy cupcakes as the base and a ice cream one covered with Snowy Frosting, and decorated with silver jewels. Save some sugar to create beds of “snow” for serving. via Better Homes and Gardens

Stained glass trees
To make your own cookie shapes, draw a simple Christmas-tree or ornament shape onto a manila folder, and cut it out. Place the cutout on rolled-out cookie dough, and cut around it with the tip of a paring knife. Fill with your favorite candy! via Martha Stewart
Rudolph cookies
I can’t get over how fun and simple these Christmas Rudolph cookies are! All you need is a cookie, piped chocolate, a red candy sweet such as a Skittle or M&M, and a tiny amount of sugar glue. via Moje Wypieki
Gingerbread Latte Cupcakes
I’m trading my Starbucks gingerbread latte for a gingerbread latte cupcake. Find your Christmas flavors in this gingerbread cupcake recipe. Throw some coffee in the batter and your all set for a perfectly baked gingerbread latte. Giving balance to the spice is a lemon cream cheese for an acidic bite of sweetness. via Bakers Royale
Jam Straws
Quick and elegant looking jam straws filled with raspberry jam and puff pastry. I would eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. via Sprinkle Bakes
Crunchy the Snowman
Dressed in colorful candy scarves and top hats, these stylish, easy-to-make snowmen are sure to liven up any holiday gathering. via Spoonful.com
