Best Places For Christmas Cookies In Los Angeles

There's something around the Christmas holiday that makes cookies even more delicious than they already are. Perhaps it's the added red and green glittery sprinkles or the festive shapes like Santas and snowmen. Maybe it's the extra joy and love that goes into making them. Whatever the reason, Christmas cookies are great. But not everyone has the time or the skills to make them, and that's okay. Bakery-bought Christmas cookies are just as good. Check out these top five places to get the best Christmas cookies in Los Angeles.
