Biscotti keep forever, are great for shipping, and the pistachios and cherries in this recipe make them especially festive for the holidays. Plus, they’re one of the few cookies that we don’t feel guilty eating first thing on Christmas morning. You can really use any combination of fruit and nuts in the recipe, and you can also dip these in chocolate if you want something more decadent. More
I adapted these cookies from a recipe on one of my favorite cooking blogs, 101 cookbooks, and have loved them ever since. They’re completely whole grain, and though they do contain sugar, they’re not over-sweet, making them healthy and, in my opinion, delicious. My addition of raspberry jam not only complements the rye and cream-cheese flavors in the cookies, but it also makes them look particularly festive this time of year. More
Warm spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cloves are part and parcel of the holiday season; no Christmas cookie collection would be right without a spicy gingersnap or krinkle on the plate. These spice cookies, adapted from a recipe in this year’s The Essential New York Times Cookbook, call for lots of spices and a little molasses. They’re wrinkled, sugar-crusted tops give way to a chewy (but thin) interior that’s incredibly satisfying. More
I usually try to avoid wheat, but I tend to let my gluten-free goals slide this time of year. Fortunately for me, it doesn’t wreak havoc on my body the way that it does for those with Celiac disease or serious gluten intolerance, who don’t get to “cheat” for a good holiday cookie. That’s why I love Babycakes’ Erin McKenna: Her recipes are actually good, and in the case of these spicy, cake-like Sugarplum Cookies, they’re also gluten free, and vegan to boot. I made some small adjustments to the recipe from her book, BabyCakes: Vegan, (Mostly) Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, but her way or mine: these cookies are delicious.

Some cookies seem to keep well and arrive intact while others seem to fall apart the minute they are stamped with the postal stamp. Hopefully if you are planning to ship cookies to loved ones far away you are planning on sending them priority. More
