Christmas is only one day away and the streets are filled with the chaos of last minute shoppers. Instead of fighting the crowds at the mall for that last minute gift for your friends and neighbors, you can save time and bake them the perfect gift.

Baked goods make perfect holiday gifts because they are easy, relatively inexpensive, and delicious! Not to mention, baking cookies during the days leading up to Christmas is a great way to entertain the kids and show that you care enough to give your time to cook for those you love.

Betty Crocker's Easy Cut-Out Cookies is an all time favorite that gives the usual sugar cookie some Christmas spirit, and your kids will love making all of the different shapes! Freeze your cookies, wrap them in some festive cellophane and deliver to friends and neighbors as Christmas gifts!
