We've Got a Cookie for Every Night of Hanukkah (Plus, a Few Sweet Extras!)

Decorate these classic soft cookies with blue and silver sprinkles as a nod to Hanukkah. Because they're timeless, you'll be making these sugar cookies year after year.

A Hanukkah favorite, this recipe for rugelach gets a sweet upgrade from a filling made with chopped pistachios and dried apricots. A sprinkle of more nuts on top of the dough gives a hint as to what's inside.

Although these cookies are traditionally served during Purim, they can also be a sweet addition to the Hanukkah celebration. Flecks of chopped chocolate are sprinkled throughout the dough because frankly, there's no such thing as too much chocolate.

A lightly spiced ginger cream filling is sandwiched between these festive Hanukkah cookies. They're easy to shape and roll in sanding sugar, which means the kids can help out, too.

Cream cheese is the secret to super moist, extra flaky dough for this Jewish classic. Rather than intricately shaping each cookie, this version calls for rolling the dough into a log, baking, then slicing—who could say no to that?

Here's a fun take on the traditional Hannukah jelly-filled donut known as Sufganiyot. Bake hazelnut sugar cookies then fill with a sweet, eye-catching raspberry jam.

Customize these cookies with blue, white, and silver frosting and sprinkles for a Hanukkah-appropriate bite that everyone can enjoy.

Dress up shortbread cookies for Hanukkah by cutting the dough into a six-pointed star and adding a monogram. They double as a delicious name tag for each place setting.

During Rosh Hashanah, honey is symbolic for the promise of a sweet New Year. Adapt that same ingredient here to sweeten these impressive-looking, nutty cookies (no intricate weaving required).

Anise is a subtle flavor that perks up any holiday cookie dough, especially these shortbreads. A light dusting of powdered sugar gives these Linzer torte-inspired sandwich cookies a festive finish.
