Cookies for Santa

Give Santa a little variety this year with our easy recipes for delicious cookies.

By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

Children around the world always write a long list to Santa telling him what they want for Christmas. But has anyone ever asked the jolly man from the North Pole what he wants?

Well the secret is out. Not that you couldn't have guessed. It's cookies. Light and almondy macaroons, gaily dressed ginger folk, nutty chocolate tartlets, bright cookie swirls, iced and candy-coated ornaments and an all-time favourite –– shortbread stars.

Santa likes cookies to look special, just as you do when you are arranging a plate of them for a company, boxing them up for gifts or toting them to a bake sale or cookie exchange.

Our selection below invites little hands to help in the cutting out, decorating and, certainly, the choosing of the best and most beautiful for the jolly man who appears by magic on the most fantastic night of the year.
