Christmas cookies are as big a part of the holiday season as candy canes and Santa Claus. The sweet scent of baking cookies may bring back memories of cooking with family members as a child, or the joyful sugar-charged frenzy of more grown-up cookie swaps.
And while you probably already have your go-to Christmas cookie recipe, chances are even if you have a favorite set of cookie cutters, it’s time to invest in a few more. Working with a variety of shapes makes the process more creative and fun — parents of younger children often use the gingerbread men, snowmen, Santa, and reindeer to tell stories and play make-believe games during snack time — but it also allows you to add your own personal touch to finished the product.
Whether you’re a traditionalist, or you’re looking to make cookies with more of a modern sense of whimsy this year, the options for making this holiday season your sweetest and prettiest yet have never been better. These are the best Christmas cookie cutters for a perfect holiday treat.
