The very last thing to do for the season doesn’t have to be stressful! Browse these recipes for Cookies for Santa to find an easy small batch cookie recipe that you can make on Christmas Eve with your kids. Santa and the reindeers don’t like leftovers!

It feels like after the decorating, shopping, wrapping, and school events, making cookies for Santa is the absolute last thing to do before the big day! And even though I bake for a living, sometimes I forget!
Why Choose a Small Batch of Cookies for Santa?
- Small Batch – Since Santa eats cookies at every house he stops at, he doesn’t need more than 6 cookies.
- Easy Prep – These recipes are all simple to make, and perfect for kids to help you bake! With the exception of the Grinch Cake Pops, everything is fairly easy! (You can make the cake balls easier by baking the cake part first, and then just assembling with kids).
- Delicious – Because we all know who is really eating these cookies after bedtime, pick your favorite one!



















I hope these easy small batch recipes help you get something sweet on the table for Santa and let you relax the rest of the night. You’ve worked hard all season long, I just know it!
Let me know how you, I mean Santa, enjoys these cookies on Christmas Eve! Don’t forget some carrots for the reindeer, too!
