With the December chill setting in, there's nothing quite as sweet as cold air warmed with the scent of Christmas cookie baking.

One of the easiest holiday cookies to make is Scottish shortbread. A simple combination of flour, sugar and butter, these cookies could not be any simpler, but with a little flair, they can become an elegant and delicious addition to a party table or Santa's helping of cookies and milk on Christmas Eve.

How darling are these chocolate-mint macarons? The dainty, French classic gets enlivened by a chocolate-mint flavoring by blogger Dessert First. Although the imperfections of home-baked goods can be endearing, these perfect little bites are worth marveling over for their smooth peppermint ganache sandwiched between two cookies.

Forget wrapping up store-bought gifts for friends and family. Instead, make your loved ones desserts from scratch this season -- they'll love the personal touch.
