Your choice of preferred holiday cookie says a lot about you. Did you stay up all night concocting the perfect glaze? Are you more concerned with how the cookie looks, rather than how the cookie actually tastes? Did you make enough to share or do you hoard them in your freezer until summer? Did you totally forget to make cookies all together?

There’s only one way to find out: by determining your holiday cookie sign. Here they are … once and for all!

Aquarius | Lofthouse Cookies

There’s no cookie more controversial than the fluffy, icing-topped Lofthouse cookie, often found in grocery store clamshells across the country. The mysterious contrarian in you will live for igniting the debate when you whip out a plate of these.

Pisces | Pistachio Smash Cookies

One bite of an old-school pistachio smash cookie will bring out the sensitive side in you —and leave you wistful for the days when you used to help your grandma with all of her grand holiday baking projects.

Aries | Peppermint Whoopie Pie

To say that you like to do things a little off the beaten path is an understatement. There will be no run-of-the mill chocolate chip cookies for you this holiday season. Despite your better judgment, you’re going all in, adding half a teaspoon peppermint extract to the filling of these whoopie pies, then rolling them in crushed peppermint candies to make them extra festive.

Taurus | Spritz Cookies

Ah, the spritz cookie: a holiday stalwart. Anyone who’s ever made a spritz cookie will tell you that these buttery treats are as classic as they come, but they’ll also tell you that they’re a pain-in-the butt to make. (Especially if your cookie press is as stubborn as you are.)

Gemini | Snowball Cookies

Geminis know how easy it is for a simple idea to snowball out of control — like deciding to make cookies for your kid’s class and then accidentally making them for the entire school. Embody that casual chaos and make literal snowball cookies.

Cancer | Gingerbread Cookies

In the course of your lifetime, you’ve probably been told that you’re sentimental once or twice before. And there’s nothing more nostalgic than decorating these classic ginger-people with whatever icing and candies you have lying around. “NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTONS!”

Leo | Pinwheel Cookies

Like you, these mesmerizing pinwheel cookies have that “it factor.” If you make these, heads will turn. Literally.

Virgo | Buckeyes

Channel your precisionist tendencies into getting just the right level of chocolate coating on these yummy peanut butter bites. You have more than a few chances to nail it.

Libra | Sugar Cookies

Libras don’t just make regular ol’ sugar cookies — they make the most elaborate-looking sugar cookies that Instagram has ever seen. All the effort you put in will be worth it when you make these tasty-looking cut-out sugar cookie snowflakes.

Scorpio | Spicy Chocolate Cookies

Sugar and spice? That’s you! A cayenne pepper-flecked dark chocolate cookie is your soul in cookie form.

Sagittarius | Oreos

Okay, okay, so you totally forgot to plan far enough in advance to make cookies this year. Cue Oreos. You were never one for tradition anyway!

Capricorn | Peanut Butter Blossoms

You never want to let anyone down, which is why you’re showing up to the party with the most classic holiday cookie of them all: peanut butter blossoms. Thanks for staying up all night to make them just right!
