If you're asking me, my cookie list is:
Chocolate chip
Oatmeal raisin
White chocolate gingerbread
Snickerdoodles
Cranberry orange

Roll the cookies that require rolling in sugar before freezing.

I recommend test-baking a cookie before freezing the dough, sometimes if the cookies spread too much I have to add flour to make them soft and chewy. Once you get the finished product you want, then freeze the dough.

Interesting trends from feedback I've received the past couple of years - women love the cranberry orange cookies, and men prefer the white chocolate gingerbread cookies, at least amongst my group of friends.

Never mind...I found your list of cookies that freeze well. :)

Today! I make cut out sugar cookies in the form of a snowflake with clear sugar crystals on top.

I was an accountant and December was long days at work. My baking consisted of meat/cheese trays, Chex mix, cheese balls, etc. My family actually prefers this over baked goods. Hershey kisses in red, green and silver foil works for me.

I keep ready to bake cookies in my freezer all year round, never even thought of sharing 😂! Thanks Peckish, a great idea for gifts in a pinch.
For Christmas I do trays of baklava and kourambeides which are a Greek melt in your mouth butter cookie topped with confectionery sugar. Made usually on the 22-23. Can’t make them sooner; I would eat them 😊
