Macarons from Café Vendome

These light and fluffy French confections are sure to be a crowd pleaser. Café Vendome makes them in an assortment of flavors including pistachio, raspberry, lemon and coffee. Not only are they delicious, but they are also a colorful addition to any holiday meal. Luckily, Café Vendome has two locations in Sandy Springs.

Low Carb and Gluten-Free Cookies from Zambawango

Looking for something a little healthier than the usual holiday desserts? Zambawango specializes in low carb and gluten-free desserts. They make a variety of cookies and pastries using almond and coconut flours, 99 percent pure chocolate, all-natural plant-based sweeteners and other natural ingredients. Zambawango desserts are baked in-house daily, and the menu changes frequently to include seasonal ingredients.

Shortbread Cookies from Henri’s Bakery and Deli

This metro Atlanta institution can be your one stop shop for all of your holiday desserts. They offer a large selection of festive treats including adorable shortbread cookies and gingerbread. You can even order a decorating kit for your gingerbread! They also have classic cookie flavors like chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, M&M, and peanut butter. Some bakery orders may require advanced notice so plan ahead!.

Chocolate Chip Cookies from Breadwinner Café

Okay, Breadwinner Café & Bakery is really known for its homemade breads. It’s in the name after all! And while those make excellent gifts, we really love their cookies, too. Their gigantic chocolate chip cookies will be the perfect midnight snack for Santa!

Candycanesnaps from Susansnaps

This family-owned bakery is dedicated to one particular type of cookie, the gingersnap. Susansnaps was founded by the mother- daughter team, Laura and Susan Stachler. After Susan was diagnosed with cancer, her mother Laura realized that ginger was the perfect stomach soother for chemo. That led them down the path of opening their own bakery and writing the book “The Cookie Cure.” You can find the gingersnaps that started it all at their store in Sandy Springs, along with delicious variations like the festive Candycanesnaps. The cookies can also be ordered and shipped if a trip to the shop isn't possible.

Go the Extra Mile with Sugar Shanes' Cookies

If you want to flip the script and get a gift for Santa that he's never had before, get him a couple of Sugar Shanes' cookies! When we say these aren't your average cookies, we aren't lying. These thing are humongous and come in a wide variety of flavors that vary depending on the week. You can bet there will be some holiday-themed options for you to enjoy!

Pick any if these options and Santa will definitely keep you off the naughty list next year.
