I shared a recipe back in July, Sheet Pan Chocolate Chip Cookies for a Crowd, and it was insanely popular!

I knew I wanted to include a Christmas version in my cookie posts this year. I added festive M&M candies and white chocolate chips, because you can never have too much chocolate!

Nothing quite says Christmas like a glass of Egg Nog! If you love Egg Nog and Snickerdoodles, you'll love these Egg Nog Snickerdoodles! | EverydayMadeFresh.com

These were a huge hit with Zack’s work for his Thanksgiving lunch.

I made Spicy Chicken Cheeseballs, which everybody ask for the recipe, Egg Nog Snickerdoodles, and these Christmas Cookies for a Crowd. Needless to say that everyone was thrilled with what Zack contributed to lunch that day.

If you have company coming over and you want to impress them all with that warm and gooey fresh from the oven cookie, these are the cookies you need to make!

They will all be ready at the exact same time, hence the reason they are cooked on a sheet pan like they are, AND everyone loves a good fresh baked cookie!

You could totally change these up and add different colored M&M’s depending on the holiday or your mood.

I can see taking some of those fun flavors and putting them in here! Like the candy corn for Halloween! Yum!!

These are thick and chewy, just the way I like my chocolate chip cookies. I like to underbake them just a bit to give them an extra chewy texture.

If you like your cookies a little crunchier, these do crunch up after a few days, IF they last that long. They have been known to be gone in two days in our home. Not that I have eaten more than one. Hahaha.

Actually I’m totally guilty of having one with a cup of coffee for breakfast, and then after dinner snack. Yea, I’m just a little bit of a cookie monster.

Other ideas for these cookies for a crowd?

  • peanut butter chips
  • caramel chips
  • butterscotch chips
  • chopped nuts
  • holiday sprinkles
  • frosting on top
  • top with vanilla ice cream

Can I make this ahead of time?

Prepare the cookie dough through step 5. Form a disc, and wrap in press and seal wrap. Place in a zip top bag, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.

If you are freezing the dough – thaw in the fridge completely, before continuing to step 6.

How do I store sheet pan cookies for a crowd?

You can store the individual bars at room temperature for up to 5 days, in an air tight container.

  • SWEET & SPICY BACON WRAPPED LITTLE SMOKIES hit all the right taste buds! They are so good you can’t stop eating them…Perfect for game day or a holiday party snack! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/sweet-spicy-bacon-wrapped-little-smokies/ .
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound thick cut bacon
1 package little smokies
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If making these to bake now, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Otherwise, do this when you're ready to bake them.

2. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and chili powder. Set aside.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil. 
4. Measure out how much bacon to roll for each little smokie. I got about three little smokies per slice of bacon. It's gonna depend on the thickness of the bacon, etc. 
5. Roll the little smokie up, secure with a tooth pick and thoroughly coat with the brown sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet, and repeat until you've rolled all the little smokies up. If you have extra bacon, just coat it with the brown sugar mixture and bake it as well. So good!! 6. When ready to bake, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp along the edges. .

  • Making marshmallows at home isn’t hard, and you can control what the ingredients are. These VERY SIMPLE HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOWS are easy to make, and you can cut them into any shape you’d like! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/very-simple-homemade-marshmallows/ .
.
INGREDIENTS:
3 packages of unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold water I stash mine in the freezer for 5 minutes, divided
12 oz sugar by all means weigh this out
1 cup light agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a large mixing bowl combine 1/2 cup cold water with the gelatin. Set aside, ready to use.
In a large pot with deep sides, combine the other 1/2 cup of cold water, sugar, and agave nectar.

2. Heat on medium to high heat, covered for 4 minutes.

3. Uncover, and attach a candy thermometer. Cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees.
As soon as it reaches temp, remove from heat.

4. Turn on your stand mixer (low) and slowly pour your mixture into the gelatin mix until you pour all of your sugar mix.

5. Turn the speed up to high and continue beating until the mixture becomes very thick and no longer hot, but warm to the touch.

6. While the mix is beating prepare a 13X9 inch baking dish - line the baking dish with wax paper, overlapping the sides.

7. Combine the powdered sugar and corn starch, sprinkle the wax paper with half the mixture, reserving the rest for the top of your marshmallows.

8. Once your marshmallow mixture is warm to the touch, pour in your vanilla flavoring and whip a minute more to combine.

9. Turn off your mixer and pour your marshmallow mix into your prepared dish.

10. Sprinkle 1/4 of the remaining cornstarch/powdered sugar mix on top, and set the rest aside for later use.

11. Place your marshmallows into the fridge for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. .

  • 🚨 NEW These BROWN BUTTER CHRISTMAS COOKIES are your classic sugar cookie with a nutty browned butter flavor. They are the richest most delectable cookie around! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/brown-butter-christmas-cookies/
.
.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups + 2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Brown the butter - You'll need to grab a heavy bottom skillet. Place it over medium heat. Add the butter (whatever the measurement calls for, from any recipe), and as it melts, continually stir it. Don't step away from the pan at all - the butter will burn quickly. As the butter starts to brown (a very light brown color), turn off the heat, and pour into a heat safe measuring cup to cool just a bit.

2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.

3. In a large bowl, add the brown butter, and both sugars. Mix until combined.

4. Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined.

5. Add the dry ingredients and mix, until well combined.

6. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

7. Remove from the fridge, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and roll into 1 inch balls, pressing the tops into sprinkles. Place 3 inches apart on baking sheets, and bake for 12 minutes.

9. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove and finish cooling on cooling racks. .
