It’s cookie season and people all around the world are baking, cutting, sprinkling, wrapping, and giving out all kinds of different cookies. To celebrate this festive time of the year and to bring you some new inspiration, we’re sharing 12 cookie recipes with you, one every day from now until Christmas Eve. These aren’t just any old cookie recipes, either — they’re recipes from cookie and history-enthusiast Anna Ginsberg and her cookbook The Daily Cookie, which is filled with 365 cookie recipes that honor and celebrate notable events throughout history. Along with giving you something new to bake in the kitchen, these 12 days of cookies give you a chance to win a copy of the book every day we share a recipe, so you’ll be able to enjoy a cookie recipe every day of the year, not just right before Christmas.

Today’s cookies are Colonial Rock Cookies, because today is the anniversary of when the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. These rock-shaped cookies are crammed with cranberries, walnuts, and white chocolate chips, but Ginsberg suggests getting creative and adding any of your favorite nuts or dried fruit.
