Sure, there’s the iced shortbread cookie, the good ol’ fashioned chewy chocolate chip cookie and even one that incorporates a very-holiday ingredient (think eggnog), but have you ever made a peppermint hot chocolate macaron?! We think probably not. Swoon, drool, or do whatever over these imaginative cookie recipes and then try baking them up for a new kind of tradition. Your kids, dinner guests, or even Santa may just get their warm fuzzy socks knocked off.
