If you had to guess when ingredients were in season based on when people most used them, you could be forgiven for thinking butter and sugar “turned ripe” in December. From holiday parties and cookie swaps, to neighborly gifts and the plate you might leave out for the big guy in red, there are a lot of reasons to bake cookies this month. And if you’re like us, you’ll probably get bored just making one kind of cookie. Luckily there are lots of kinds to choose from!

We rounded up 82 of our best cookie recipes for Christmas — and every other December holiday — including a few special-diet cookies so everyone can get in on the seasonal festivities.
