The “So Delicious” Frosted Cookies I’m Serving for the Holidays (Everyone Thinks They’re Homemade)

’Tis the season for parties — not the college ugly sweater kind where you bring a bottle of booze and call it a night (though I do miss those), but the festive holiday gatherings with friends and family that require dressing up and contributing a dish. If you’re like me, these invitations are already rolling in, and the list of dishes to make keeps growing while time feels increasingly scarce. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when trying to balance everything the season throws your way.

That’s why I always have a backup plan for those busier moments. Instead of stressing over the perfect dessert or searching endlessly for a creative recipe, I like to have a high-quality store-bought option on hand that tastes just as good (if not better) than homemade. QVC offers tons of tempting desserts, and after trying Cheryl’s cookies — which were delivered to the office one day — I was sold. They’re delicious, festive, and the ultimate plan B for any holiday gathering.

Perfect for holiday celebrations or gifting, Cheryl’s 48-Piece Holiday Cookie Assortment includes 48 individually wrapped cookies featuring festive designs such as Christmas trees, snowmen, and confetti. Inside, you’ll find eight of each flavor: sugar, gingerbread, red velvet candy, buttercream-frosted, green buttercream-frosted chocolate, and red buttercream-frosted cookies. 

“These are so fun and festive, not to mention delicious, of course,” says Commerce Writer Micki, who tried the cookies herself. “They’re tender, while the frosting is creamy and sweet but not cloying. All in all, they’re an easy dessert to bring to a holiday party that everyone will love.” Plus, with most cookies still being hand-frosted, you’ll have everyone fooled into thinking you made them yourself!

You can gift Cheryl’s Holiday Cookie Assortment individually to teachers and friends or bring them to your next holiday party to be enjoyed by a crowd. With 15% off and an additional 25% off your first order, if you’re new to QVC Food, it’s a great deal!
