Joy in a Jar • ARRANGED INTO CLEVERLY CRAFTED JARS, THESE THREE SPINS ON BISCOTTI STAND UP AS SHINING EXAMPLES OF GIFTABLE GOODIES. TIE ON A SMALL PACKAGE OF FLAVORED COFFEE BEANS OR HOT COCOA MIX FOR DUNKING AND DIPPING THE CRUNCHY COOKIES.

Cookies to Savor • TAKE A BREAK FROM THE USUAL SUGARY SWEETS THIS HOLIDAY WITH A SAVORY SPIN ON COOKIES. PAIR THEM WITH COCKTAILS OR GLASSES OF WINE.

Nordic Simplicity • CLEAN LINES AND MINIMAL EMBELLISHMENT ARE THE HALLMARKS OF SCANDINAVIAN STYLE, AND THEY’RE THE THEME OF THESE LIGHTLY SPICED CUTOUTS WITH LOW-KEY ICING DESIGNS. THIS YEAR, THE MOST STRIKING COOKIES ON THE TRAY ARE ALSO THE EASIEST TO CREATE.

Going to Extremes • THESE ENORMOUS, OVERSTUFFED COOKIES ARE OVER-THE-TOP FANTASTIC WITH TASTY SECRETS TUCKED INSIDE.

Dough Many Ways • TWEAK A BASIC SCOOP-AND-DROP COOKIE DOUGH WITH YOUR FAVORITE MIX-INS AND PICK THE SHAPE—MINI OR GIANT COOKIES, SANDWICHES, OR BARS. YOUR IMAGINATION MAKES THEM YOUR OWN.

Flavors of Mexico • THESE SIMPLE, BUTTERY GALLETAS (COOKIES) ARE LACED WITH WARMING FLAVORS—AROMATIC CINNAMON AND ANISE, KICKY CHILES, TANGY CITRUS, AND SHOTS OF TEQUILA AND RUMCHATA.

Just Add Java • COOKIES GET CAFFEINATED! INSTEAD OF DUNKING COOKIES IN YOUR CUP OF JOE, YOU’LL FIND THE COFFEE FLAVOR IS INSIDE THESE MADE-TO-ORDER TREATS.

Four-Square Decorating • BOX UP THESE FOUR-COOKIE CREATIONS FOR A SMALL BUT THOUGHTFUL GIFT. TRY ONE OF OUR IDEAS OR DESIGN YOUR OWN.

Beyond Peanut Butter • SPREAD THE LOVE WITH PEANUT-BUTTER ALTERNATIVES. THESE HOLIDAY SWEETS USE BUTTERS MADE FROM CASHEWS, PECANS, AND ALMONDS TO CUSTOMIZE THE CREAMY, NUTTY FLAVORS YOU CRAVE.
