12 scrumptious Christmas cookies you can order online

Cookie to cop: Eggnog shortbread (nutmeg and mace sweetened shortbread spiked with brandy)

Eggnog isn’t for everyone. But if you’ve got a palate for the polarizing potion, why not infuse the holiday spirit into your Christmas cookies? Laurie Ellen, a former head pastry chef at San Francisco’s Tartine Bakery (which just opened a new location in Los Angeles), first sent her shortbreads to family and friends around the world—demand quickly grew, and, lucky us, they’re now available to the masses. Laurie loves shortbread for its ability to “age beautifully,” and she notes that its flavors actually improve over time. Consider these the fine wine—or fine eggnog—of cookies.

There are two types of people: those who love crispy cookies, and those who love gooey cookies. For fans of the latter, the mother-daughter duo behind Cookies for the Soul has it in the bag. But don’t hesitate on these cookies, because their followers watch their Instagram like hawks waiting to pounce on the next “drop.” If you manage to order a batch of these ultra gooey chocolatey cookies before they sell out, you can have them in your tummy in just a few days.

Cookie to cop: 16 Candles (Sugar cookie with white chocolate and sprinkles filled with vanilla sprinkle icing)

As a bodybuilder with a sweet tooth, the founder of BaKD Bakery doesn’t just like to bulk up in the gym—each creative cookie is jacked up with crazy amounts of the good stuff. Think chunks of cereal, chocolate chips, sprinkles, candies, peanut butter, graham crackers, and more. When her fellow gym-goers started asking how to order her delightful confections, she knew she had a business on her hands. Now shipping nationwide, each cookie flavor is named after a movie.

Cookie to cop: Gingerbread Big Dipper (​​12 gingerbread cookies with two sides of cream cheese icing topped with gumdrops)

Insomnia Cookies is all about the accessories. This year, the beloved New York City late-night staple is offering holiday dippers to the masses. That’s right, we’re talking about dipping sauce for cookies. Could it get any better? They’ll ship right to your doorstep, which means you can stay in your jammies as you try their takes on gingerbread or candy cane cookies, not to mention a selection of their classic flavors.

Cookie to cop: Hot Mess (loaded with mango chunks, white chocolate, and tequila, topped with Hot Cheetos)

Have you ever wanted to eat a cookie while getting a kick in the pants? Thanks to Molly Bz Gourmet Cookies, you can do just that. The online sweets slinger offers different alcohol-infused treats like the Big Joe cookie, which incorporates rum and coffee beans. Getting her start in Alaska as a single mom, Molly Blakely built several businesses from the ground up—she even took a fish taco food truck on the road. But it wasn’t until her cookie business picked up that she became a cookie-lebrity.

Cookie to cop: Holiday Cookie Box

Who needs a holiday cookie exchange when you can buy a whole spread for themselves? Ross Canter left a career as a screenwriter to start Cookie Good with his wife, Melanie, in 2007 (if you take one look at the delicious confections they’re creating, it’s hard to imagine Canter doing anything else). Cookie Good offers a dozen different holiday creations from a marshmallow-topped hot cocoa cookie to a candy cane swirl. It seems nearly impossible to try just one, but luckily they offer a Holiday Cookie Box with all 12, available in up to five-dozen batches (for those of us who don’t like to share).
