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.

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.

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.
