What are basic Christmas baking supplies to keep on hand?
When it comes to Christmas baking, there are a few supplies you’ll want to keep on hand. This makes it easy to whip up a quick recipe at any time!
Some basic items you’ll want to always have on hand include pantry staples like flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. These are very popular ingredients in many cookies so it’s a good idea to always keep the pantry filled with them.
Some more specific Christmas baking items you’ll also want to keep on hand are things like holiday sprinkles, icing, frosting, cookie cutters, and other fun decorations.
What is the best way to store Christmas Cookies?
The best way to store leftover Christmas Cookies is in an airtight container. Cookies will stay fresh for up to 5 days on the counter, or up to 3 months if you freeze them.
One of my favorite things to do with cookie recipes is to double to recipe and keep the leftover dough in the fridge or freezer.
Then I can bake as needed and always have fresh cookies on hand!
How to Gift Christmas Cookies

The trick to giving cookies as a holiday gift or in a cookie swap is to make sure you have a good storage container to bring them in. You also should use a container that you don’t mind someone else keeping.
