Brace yourself for a sweet, sweet post. 

Why? We're giving you our roundup of our favorite holiday cookie recipes to make this time of year. Something about the holiday season makes it totally acceptable to eat delicious, colorful, chewy cookies all month long...or is that just me? 

These 12 cookie recipes were chosen based off of certain criteria. All had to be easy to make, some needed to cover dietary restrictions, like One Lovely Life's Paleo Gingerbread Cookies, while others needed to use olive oil, because, well, duh. Some are sweet, some are savory, but all are Santa approved!

They're perfect for holiday cookie exchanges or a hands-on activity with the kids. Enjoy these sweet cookie recipes from some of our favorite bloggers.
