Holiday Christmas Cookie Box 2022
This post may contain affiliate links.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I like to make boxes of cookies and give them to my friends during the Holiday season. I started my blog because I wanted to keep all my recipes in one place and share them with people. Because everyone was asking me how I made cookies when they saw my cookie box. This year, I am sharing my Holiday Christmas Cookie Box 2022. I’ve decided to include the year in the name of each box. I think this will make it easy to find recipes for all cookies. Down below, you can find all the cookies that were in this year’s cookie box and links to recipes.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- In this Holiday Christmas Cookie Box 2022 I included gluten-free cookies, nuts-free cookies, and cookies made with nuts. I think this box is perfect for everyone. You can find cookies for your taste.
- Check also One Dough Holiday Cookie Box that was made in 2020. This box includes only one dough that makes six different cookies. I am sure you will be impressed with that box.
Thumbprint Cookies
These Thumbprint Cookies are soft and buttery; they are just melting in your mouth. This recipe can be adjusted to many different flavors. Very classic cookies are easy to make, and no chilling time is required, like Madeleines.
Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies
Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies are my son’s favorite in this box. If you like a combination of orange and chocolate, then you will love these cookies. This is a Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe with my modern twist. For Macarons with a similar flavor, I would recommend trying Aperol Macarons.
Amaretti Cookies
These Italian Amaretti cookies are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I wanted to include gluten-free cookies in the box, and these cookies are. For more gluten-free options, check Meringue, Macarons with Cookies, or Macarons with Meringue Cookies. Amoretti Cookies can be colored in red or green for a festive look.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are for chocolate lovers. They are loaded with a lot of chocolate. Every cookie box has to have these cookies. They are chocolate heaven. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies is another option with a similar taste that can be included in the Holiday Box.
Pistachio Cookies
These Pistachio cookies are made without any food coloring. They are not very sweet and have the best texture. They are loaded with pistachios. If you like my Pistachio Macarons, then you will love these cookies, too.
Hazelnut Cookies
Hazelnut Cookies are soft cookies made with roasted hazelnuts. I think hazelnut dessert is perfect for the Christmas season. There is something magical about hazelnuts that makes cookies very tasty.
