14 delicious Disney Christmas cookie recipes to bake this season (2024)

Read on for Disney Christmas cookie recipes inspired by the theme parks and Disney characters!

Tis the season for baking! At least in my house. I’m not sure how I became the cookie person at Christmas but I definitely did. And if 2020 has taught me anything it’s that baking is a really great stress reliever and distraction from the world. I put on the Great British Baking show, grab my recipes and off I go. This December has involved a ton of Christmas cookies!

And of course I wouldn’t be Becky if I didn’t try to do a number of Disney Christmas cookies as part of my baking plans! If you search on Google or Pinterest it seems like the majority of Disney Christmas cookie recipes are overwhelmingly cookies shaped like Mickey heads that are very prettily decorated for Christmas. And while I love these and they are gorgeous, there are so many more options for Disney inspired Christmas cookies. I also know that I personally don’t have the skill to do that detailed level of decorating! So I wanted to try and bring any fellow bakers a variety of Disney Christmas cookie recipes.

There are also some very fun options outside of simply making Christmas cookies shaped like Mickey. You can do other shapes or designs that fit the Christmas theme, or you could try some recipes from the theme parks, like the cookies served at Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

Read on for some of my favorite Disney Christmas cookie recipes!

Mickey Snowflake Linzer cookies

I love the sweetness of a good Linzer cookie. And of course it’s even more adorable when the cut-out is a Mickey head! Find the recipe here.

Mickey Gingerbread cookies

One of the things that always says Christmas the most to me is gingerbread. So I made Mickey gingerbread men, as well as gingerbread snowmen with Mickey ears. I share some tips for how to get those fun shapes without needing to buy extra fancy cookie cutters. Mine may not look quite as pretty as some of the ones on Pinterest, but they still taste delicious! Find the recipe here.
