Baking Memories with Grandma
This Saturday is our annual Christmas Cookie Day, aka Baking Memories with Grandma day. We make the same cookies every year, which is great no crumb left behind. We will stick with the classics, but we’ll also be adding a new shape and a new recipe. Peppermint Marshmallows, soon to be favorite, to the day too. Below you will find wonderful cookies to bake for your holiday season. Whether you eat them yourself or give them as gifts, cookies are guaranteed to be received with a smile. On my sidebar you can find my Christmas cookie recipes and shipping tips all in one place.
Have you been baking cookies yet?

Before we start the chaos decorating everyone gets a baking sheet.
It helps wrangle the sprinkles and limits the search for which cookie is mine too
Christmas Rice Krispie Treat Stars are usually on the list while other cookies are baking
We’ll move onto another favorite frosted Gingerbread cookies and then it’s time for
Grandpa’s favorite Oatmeal Cookies
Another new treat on the list will be Betty Crocker’s Peppermint Swirl Fudge!

PS Visited your Make a Miracle to participate. 🙂
I have no self control when it comes to potato chips! I will make myself some sugar free cookies though, always nice to have some to dunk in a cup of tea xo
When you say sugar free do you use an alternative, like xylitol?
Hi sweetie I use sucralose, anything that ends with “itol” is not allowed. I make myself oatmeal cookies or cinnamon cookies for my holiday treats. I use applesauce for some recipes too. xo
We LOVE making memories with grandma!! My son and I visit my Mom all the time and last time they made peanut butter cookies together. Next time we are going to do sugar cookies to decorate!! He cannot wait. I lost my grandma this year, I was lucky enough to have her as a HUGE part of my life and upbringing! I hope that my son gets the same out of his relationship with my mom 😉
Oh, I wish I could decorate cookies like this! They are all so pretty!
Rice Krispie treats look good.
I don’t remember my grandmother’s cookies, but my mother always made those little green tree ones. No one does them better.
Just made a new cookie yesterday, cranberry oatmeal cookies! They were delicious! Your cookies look so good!
Xoxo
I just love your blog.
I need to bake here more now. I did a bit, but still want to more before it is Christmas here now. And I may need to try a few of the ones you shared above, especially the first marshmallow ones as those look divine! Thanks for sharing and Happy Wednesday now, Katie xoxo <3
