While it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, set aside some time to do a little baking. Making your own Christmas cookies is a lot more fun than picking them up at the store. You can spend time with family, get the kids in the kitchen, and make something seasonal and delicious. All you need are the right ingredients, a stand mixer, and some holiday cheer.

Whether you’re putting these gingerbread cookies out for Santa or taking them to the neighbourhood cookie exchange, they’ll be a welcomed change from the standard gingerbread men.
