12 Days of Christmas Cookies: A Free eBook From Mr. Food

On the first day of Christmas, the Mr. Food Test Kitchen gave to you...a collection of our favorite Christmas cookie recipes! While we love those swans-a-swimming and lords-a-leaping, we think the best way to celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas is with a fabulously festive cookie for each day. In 12 Days of Christmas Cookies: A Free eCookbook From Mr. Food, we've hand-picked the perfect mix of classic cookie recipes and brand-new holiday cookie recipes, so there's something for everyone in this year's Christmas cookie jar. These easy cookie recipes are perfect for the holiday season, whether you swap them with friends, serve cookies at holiday parties, leave them out for Santa, or give them as gifts!

Our free Christmas cookie eCookbook also includes a simple, how-to guide on hosting a cookie exchange. As holiday traditions go, baking is a definite favorite. But who has time during the busy holiday season to make all those homemade goodies? Cookie swaps are a great way to shortcut your holiday baking, and they're also a good reason to get together with friends and family! If you're looking for Christmas cookie exchange party ideas, our assortment of holiday cookies – including sugar cookies, bar cookies, drop cookies and more – has all the hallmarks of a fancy bakery without the need for any special tools or skills.

We also have a sequel! Check out our latest Christmas cookie eCookbook, 12 Days of Christmas Cookies II: More Festive Christmas Cookie Recipes You'll Love.
