Get all your loved ones together and whip up a few batches of special occasion cookies to enjoy with a festive movie. These cookie recipes are perfect for this time of year!

From Everything cookies, which will use up all those festive leftovers, to Apple crumble cookies, which only need five ingredients, plus gluten- and dairy-free options, whatever your favourite flavours, you’re sure to find them right here. Have fun!

Sweet white chocolate is beautifully combined with sour cranberries for the perfect pairing. When you take them out of the oven, leave them to cool a little to crisp up before eating – if you can resist!

The festive season was made for making gingerbread with the kids! They’ll have almost as much fun decorating their little people as they will eating them. 

These cookies are ideal to make post-Christmas, as they use up any beautiful festive ingredients you have lying around. From nuts and dried fruit to toffees and chocolates, throw it all in for the most delicious cookies.
