Have you ever stumbled upon a song so warm and delightful that it feels like a cozy holiday evening wrapped in music? That’s exactly what “Christmas Cookies” is—a charming ode to the joys of baking, family traditions, and, of course, those irresistible sweet treats. Sung by the legendary George Strait, this tune captures the simple yet magical moments of Christmas, where love and laughter take center stage.
What makes this song special isn’t just its playful lyrics about sneaking a few cookies (because who can resist?) but how it paints a picture of togetherness. Every note feels like the crackling of a fire in the hearth, every word like a sprinkle of sugar on freshly baked dough. It’s not just about the cookies—it’s about the love baked into them, the time spent with loved ones, and the memories that linger long after the crumbs are gone.
Whether you’re a baking enthusiast or someone who just loves indulging in holiday treats, “Christmas Cookies” has a way of making you feel like you’re part of the scene. You can almost hear the laughter in the kitchen, smell the vanilla in the air, and taste the icing on your lips. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab an apron, roll up your sleeves, and create your own batch of memories.
This song reminds us that sometimes, the best gifts of the season aren’t wrapped under the tree but shared around a kitchen table. It’s lighthearted, heartwarming, and oh-so-relatable, proving once again that George Strait has a knack for making us feel right at home, no matter where we are

Lyrics
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees and bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes, the more I eat
And sometimes I can’t get myself to stop
Sometimes she’ll wait ’til I’m asleep
And she’ll take the ones that I didn’t eat
And put those little sprinkly things on top
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees and bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now those sprinkly things just make things worse
‘Cause it makes ’em taste better than they did at first
And they’re absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure that I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
She gets mad that they’re all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now there’s a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There’s 15 minutes for some kissin’ and a huggin’
That’s why I eat Christmas cookies all year long!
Ah, take it away boys
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees and bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Yeah
