Soft sugar cookies dipped in white chocolate and peppermint bits.

Haha, what a pitiful 12 Days of Christmas Cookies it’s been over here on Something Swanky this year!

So far we’ve had…

Amish Sugar Cookies

And that’s pretty much it.

But what a fabulous recipe that one, lonesome sugar cookie recipe was, if I do say so myself. And, let’s be honest, it’s not like there’s a real shortage of cookie recipes around here!

In fact, how about a quick Best Of Christmas Cookies throwback? YES! If I had to pick the top 12 cookies on my site to recommend for your holiday cookie plates, I’d have to go with…

And I could really go on and on and on still. I didn’t even get to any of my favorite chocolate chip cookies! But there are really too many to choose from in that category. You’ll just have to promise me you’ll browse those yourself later.

These Amish Sugar Cookies are by far the BEST sugar cookies I've ever eaten! Soft and pillowy perfect cookies.

Anyway. Sorry for being so lame this year and not getting 12 new recipes up. But this Christmas is all about survival! I think I’ve mentioned before that I seriously underestimated the energy it would take to move and settle in during the holidays.

Can confess something?

I’ve taken Lofthouse Sugar Cookies to nearly every Christmas function this year. And I don’t mean my copycat recipe. I mean the ones from Target. Yuuuuuuup.

This year, that’s me. I feel like I need to carry a sign, “Yes, I’m the lady with the dessert blog. No, I didn’t make anything. Yes, those are my storebought cookies.”

Next year, it’s going to be amazing. I pinky promise.

And to tide you over, how about one more new cookie recipe? If you like peppermint and white chocolate and the softest sugar cookies on the planet, this recipe is for YOU.
