8 Decadent Cookies To Leave Out For Santa To Impress Him
Whether you’re a cheerful caroler or a grumpy Grinch, Christmas has a way of bringing out your inner child. There is something magical about the lights, classic claymation movies, goodie-filled stockings, and of course, presents. That said, it wouldn’t be Christmas without Santa Claus. According to a 2022 study by The Hill, 21% of adults still believe that he exists, which says a lot about the lasting effect of jolly Saint Nicholas.
Santa works overtime delivering billions of presents in one night, and all he gets is a plate of cookies. This year, ditch the basic chocolate chip and treat him to something truly special. Here are some next-level Christmas cookies to leave out for the man in red.

CHIPS AHOY! BIG CHEWY
Swap regular chocolate chip cookies for the super-sized Chips Ahoy! Big Chewy. It’s 3x the size of the OG and three times as crave-worthy.

Each has a soft-baked texture and larger chocolate chips that melt in your mouth. Find them wherever Chips Ahoy! is sold.
SUBWAY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT FOOTLONG HOLIDAY COOKIE
This next cookie might make Santa late to other homes. Subway upped the ante on its footlong cookie with a limited-edition holiday flavor. Dubbed the Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Holiday Cookie, it features chocolate and white chips, peppermint extract-infused dough, and is sprinkled with candy cane pieces. You might need two plates to fit this lengthy cookie. It’s now available at Subway locations until December 31 while supplies last.
MILK BAR x MCCORMICK CANDY CANE PRETZEL BARK
Milk Bar joined with McCormick to create a cookie recipe that’s sure to shake up Santa’s sweet tooth. The Candy Cane Pretzel Bark cookies come loaded with white chocolate chips and mini pretzels that are blended into sugar cookie dough and coated with red sugar. You can make these in under 30 minutes, which leaves you plenty of time for gift wrapping. They are festive, flavorful, and just might become Santa’s new favorite.
LEI'D COOKIES - BLACK SESAME COOKIE WITH RASPBERRY MOCHI
As part of their holiday series, Lei’d Cookies in Culver City, CA, is bringing back the Black Sesame Cookie with Raspberry Mochi in celebration of the Japanese New Year. Mochi holds deep cultural significance during the New Year, symbolizing prosperity, health, and good fortune for the year ahead — all the good tidings that Santa deserves.
LEVAIN BAKERY COOKIES
Levain Bakery’s ultra-decadent cookies have taken the internet by storm, known for their massive size, gooey center, and irresistible crunch. Their iconic chocolate chip walnut cookie is a fan favorite, boasting a perfect balance of warm, melty chocolate and a slightly crispy exterior. These cookies are more than a treat—they’re a full-on indulgence that’s become a viral sensation for good reason.
OREO X COCA-COLA COOKIES
It only makes sense to include these cookies, being that Coca-Cola may have played a large role in shaping the modern day Santa Claus’ image. The OREO Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie features a bold red and black color-blocked design with two distinct basecakes: one classic chocolate infused with Coca-Cola syrup, and one red-colored golden cookie embossed with Coca-Cola designs, both filled with smooth white creme.
CRUMBL COOKIES CEREAL
Bypass the whole milk & cookies concept as separates and leave out a bowl of Crumbl Cookies breakfast cereal for the big guy. If he loves cookies as much as cereal, Kellogg’s and Crumbl have just what Santa wants. The two companies have teamed to introduce Crumbl Chocolatey Chip Cereal, a new breakfast option that recreates the signature taste of Crumbl’s milk chocolate chip cookie.
