Christmas Cookie Roundup
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
I made hundreds of Christmas cookies last year for family and neighbors. I probably won’t go to such great lengths this year. David doesn’t exactly sit patiently in his bouncer anymore. Here’s a list of my favorite Christmas cookies linked to their recipes. Most of them aren’t difficult and all of them are awesome!
Russian Tea Cakes Recipe
Palmiers a.k.a. Elephant Ears Recipe
Meringue and Raspberry Baskets “Korzinki”
Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread Cookies with Raspberry Preserves
Mom’s Pryaniki with Mint Glaze Recipe
Chocolate truffles (not really cookies, but no-bake & really easy)
Now all I need is to cuddle up with a cookie and a hot cup of joe.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I am looking forward to making several of your Christmas recipes. We have been doing International Christmas for 8 years now. This year is Russia. Several recipes seem daunting but we are all in. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Wow! That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Debra!
I just made your shortbread cookies, teaballs, elephant ears, and i made pizzelles (Russian trubochki) filled with cream… put them on pretty plates and wrapped the,m with clear celophane… My husband, baby and I are going to bless out neighbors with it tonight :)… Thank you!
How fun!! I’m sure youre neighbors will love you! Trubochki are a very good idea. Do you make yours with puff pastry?
no… i make them on a pizelle maker… kinda like our moms used to make in Ukraine… It looks kinda like a waffle maker, but it has pretty yzori.. and as you take if off the pizzele maker you roll it into a cone, or tube
Yeah, the pizelle maker works really good! I use it all the time and its very easy and turns out pretty.
I don’t have a bread maker but I do have a kitchenaid with the dough hook so I think that should help, thanks so much.
Oh ok, that’s pretty easy too. Just give it time to rise in a warm oven.
Hi Natasha, I just came across your blog and absolutely love it!! I think me and you have very similar taste buds because a lot of these recipes I make myself, and I love the ingrediants you use. You have inspired me to make more complicated recipes such as piroshki, your garlic dipping sauce sounds so delicious, can’t wait to try it.
HI Anastasia, thanks for stopping by! 🙂 I hope you find the piroshki to be not so complicated after you make them. If you have a bread maker, it’s actually pretty easy to make the dough
I made the chocolate truffles. So easy and so delicious! I love chocolate and this was the perfect fix. I didn’t have nuts so for some of them i used crumbled peppermint stick. It was great.
Crused peppermint sounds really good. Thanks for sharing!
