When you think of the winter holidays many things may come to mind. The first thing we think of is cookies. We went around the school finding out kids favorite cookies. The school favorite was sugar cookies. Below are some of the top holiday cookies.

​

A snickerdoodle is a cookie made with butter, sugar, and flour rolled in cinnamon sugar. This cookie is very delicious. You may want to pair it with a cup of milk, a snack to munch on, such as popcorn. For a student at McMahon, it's more than just a cookie “I make these every Christmas Eve with my family.”

A chocolate chip cookie is very classic. This is a sugary, chocolaty treat that is many people's favorites during and after the holiday. This cookie definitely tastes best with a glass of milk, it’s perfect for after your big holiday feast. If you want to make this dessert even better than pair it with some ice cream and sprinkles. One student who claims to not like the holidays told us “I like chocolate chip cookies.” This cookie gives this person the little bit of holiday spirit they would otherwise be missing.

​  One of the best cookies to eat this holiday season would be a sugar cookie. These cookies are great on their own but paired with frosting and sprinkles makes them taste even better. These cookies are often very colorful. This is a fun cookie to decorate and eat right after (and maybe share if you have any left.) This cookie goes best with a glass of milk and a nice salty treat to balance it out with. The student body of Brien McMahon has said to like these the best, one student even said: “ My favorite holiday cookie is sugar cookies, my mom makes fire ones.”

Gingerbread cookies are a fun cookie to make during the holidays. Many people think of gingerbread man as a fun cookie to decorate and eat in the holiday time. This treat goes best with lots of frosting on it and candy all over for decoration. One student said, “Gingerbread because I like when it comes home and smells like gingerbread.”
