A holiday tradition I started…last year (lol) is giving cookie tins with homemade cookies and holiday treats inside! Something new I’m adding to it this year is including a recipe card with one of the cookie recipes for the recipient!

*Please be aware, I fully know I’m not holding a “tin” in this photo. I have not yet been able to go get them from my local dollar store BUT FRET NOT because I will. This random wood box was in my basement so it became the photo prop out of convenience. The tins are just as cute and actually more functional because they have lids. you can also just line them with some parchment paper and then the cookies don’t even need to get wrapped in anything!

When I gave away the cookie tins last year, I included peppermint snowball cookies in each one. Every single person went NUTS or should I say, COOKIES, for them! They all asked me for the recipe and so I dreamed up my holiday recipe card design and thought, “this will go in each tin this year with that exact recipe!” I’m all about sharing a good recipe when I find it, especially for sweets.

The peppermint snowball cookies are from Mom Timeout, and I found them through my baking girl, Sally’s Baking addition. I’ll link below the snowball cookie recipe along with Sally’s compiled list of 75 holiday cooke recipes! She’s the best and I love her. My other tried and true faves are the ‘soft molasses cookies.’ Think gingerbread, but chewy and better.

*HOT BAKING TIP: I have found that the BEST cookie recipes are ones where the dough needs to chill for at least 30 minutes before getting rolled / scooped and baked!
