Leaving cookies out for Santa Claus is a tradition we’re all familiar with from childhood. But with our busy holiday schedules, there isn’t always time to bake cookies ahead of Christmas Eve. Don’t worry, though—there are plenty of local shops selling homemade Christmas cookies this season. You can decide whether to leave them for Santa Claus or keep them all to yourself.
Sugar Kettle Cookie Co.
Michelle Matherne makes custom cookies, and her holiday selection is as original as it is adorable. You can get designs like elf hats, elf skirts, candy canes and Christmas light bulbs—but don’t be afraid to use your imagination when putting in an order. Other sophisticated designs use turquoise, white and gold icing, as wells as light pink and blue decorations.
Brew Ha-Ha!
If a traditional sugar cookie with icing isn’t your cup of tea, you may want to try Brew Ha-Ha’s festive dipped Oreos. With three varieties, including one covered in white chocolate and topped with red sprinkles and drizzled green icing, we have a feeling you just might want to try all of them at this Jefferson Highway coffee shop.
