It’s that time of year again! Holiday party invitations are piling up, friends and family from out of town are making the rounds, and you still have plenty of decorating, shopping and gift wrapping to do.
With everything on your to-do list, you might not have the time or energy to attempt to whip up a batch of made-from-scratch Christmas cookies from great-grandma’s recipe, but don’t worry. Even though nothing beats homemade, Columbus has some great bakeries that can fill that sugary void. I asked NBC4 viewers where to get the best Christmas cookies in Columbus, and here’s what they said:
Is there any name more synonymous with perfect and festive cookies than Westerville-based Cheryl’s Cookies? Their holiday offerings are nothing short of adorable, and there is a myriad of assortments to choose from. Plus, Cheryl’s Cookies is normally running a sale of some sort, so you can save big on your order. Make sure to check their website for qualifying details.
Known for unique cupcakes and intricate and delicious cakes, Starr Cupcakery also has a great selection of perfectly crafted and decorated Christmas cookies every year. Prices start at around $20 per dozen.
A longtime favorite in Columbus, Resch’s Bakery has a wide selection of Christmas cookies perfect for your holiday parties (or yourself…no judgment here!). From classics like Christmas tree and snowman sugar cookies to gorgeous springerle and awesome thumbprint cookies, you can’t go wrong with an order from Resch’s.
If you can’t make it from scratch, the talented folks at Fate Cakes can. While Christmas cookies aren’t a specific menu offering, they will custom-make your cookies for you, making them the perfect treat for any holiday celebration.
Is it even the holiday season without a Laughlin’s Bakery holiday cookie tin? These custom metal tins are filled with 30 assorted, hand-crafted holiday treats including shortbread, Springerle, Lebkuchen and more. Note: All holiday tins must be pre-ordered.
