A small but delightful holiday tradition
We all have traditions that we remember from our lives growing up that we carry on... purchasing one of these every year to burn from Thanksgiving on is mine. It's a scent that my children will instantly recognize and look forward to; they'll associate Christmas with this scent. I know I do! It makes our home smell so inviting, and adds to the warmth of the atmosphere. It's a classic scent that will bring you back to making sugar cookie cutouts with your mother. It's an unexpected way to bring the memories flooding back, and I look forward to it every year!

No Smell :/
I generally love candles and baked goods so I thought I'd love this candle. My boyfriend bought it for my birthday last month and its the large jar so i knew he'd spent some money on it. Unfortunately this candle has zero actual smell unless I'm hovering directly over it. I'm in a small dorm room so it shouldn't have any trouble filling up the room but alas it does not. My boyfriend was so excited to give it to me so I don't even have the heart to ask him for the receipt to exchange it, but I feel bad that he spent like 30 bucks for something I probably won't use that often now :/

Disappointed
Have been purchasing Yankee for years but no more. Can't say enough how disappointed I am with fragrance (hardly any) and it only lasts for about 20 mins. (at best) I will say they burn down evenly, just no smell. Does not smell house like they use to. Price way too high for what you get. Looking for other candles.

Slightly Disappointed
I am kinda disappointed in this candle. This candle burns so light, I can barely smell it at all. In my small room it doesn’t seem to emit as strong of a fragrance like my other Yankee Candles. I am used to Yankee packing a punch, this one not so much. Kinda disappointed

My highest recommendation!
I have purchased 16 candles from YC and Christmas Cookie is one of 6 I would give the highest possible rating. Some of the food scented candles don't really live up to their name, but this absolutely smells like Christmas cookies baking in the oven. It is a warm, rich scent of heated vanilla, butter and sugar, and the overall fragrance is mellow and slightly sweet. Of all the food scented candles YC makes, I would rate Christmas Cookie the very best!

A day spent baking!
This candle has been a candle that I give as a gift to at least two people, sometimes more, every Christmas. It's what I call a "crowd pleaser." I would rate this candle as strong to very strong smelling. It will scent almost your whole home. You can actually smell butter and vanilla in the scent. I always find it makes me want to bake real cookies. Too bad real cookies aren't as calorie free as this candle.

Cookies for Santa!
This candle has a special place in my heart. It was my first Yankee candle. My best friend bought it for me as a housewarming gift for my first apartment. When I smell it, it brings back a flood of memories of my first Christmas in my own place. It is a warm, sweet, cozy scent. It is certainly not the strongest candle I have, but it works. This is the candle I reach for whenever I want to reminisce about my young adulthood.

Christmas Cookie is Delicious!
The label on Christmas Cookie is perfect! It makes me happy just looking at it! This smells like perfect, vanilla sugar cookies baking around the holidays. Every year, this candle goes out with my Christmas decor and scent lineup. It wouldn't be complete without it. I also burn this with some minty, pepperminty scents and it blends beautifully!

Terrible!
In the past I could always rely upon Yankee Candles to have excellent draw. Well, no more! This Christmas Cookie candle has no scent whatsoever! I am embarrassed that I have given 2 as gifts without burning one myself.

A Family Favorite
This is definitely a feel good candle. It is a very inviting, warm and comforting candle. The throw is wonderful and it fills my home with the scent of freshly baked cookies. I love this candle any time of the year but especially around the holidays.

Delicious smell! But...
I bought this and compared it to Bath and Body Works Merry Cookie. I think Bath and Body Works has a bit more throw but this one has a nice throw too, but I do have a small house. I had to take many measures for this not to tunnel. I hate tunneling, as it is essentially wasting money and wax, so compared to bath and body these candles are a bit finicky. I did buy a wick trimmer and an illuma lid which seem to help, but I didn’t need these accessories with bath and body candles. I do really like how large these candles are though, since I go through candles a lot.

Not the same anymore
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been buying this scent for years and the quality continues to decrease. The scent is not as strong as it used to be and you can barely smell it while burning. Very disappointing because this is my favorite candle and it looks like I’ll have to find a replacement at another store since yankee candle hasn’t maintained their previous quality.

Save your money
Zero scent. I ordered 6 large candles and several car fresheners and not one thing I ordered had a throw. Definitely not the same Yankee Candles from years past.

Does not fill the room
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in LOVE with the wax melts in this sent, it filled my whole house. This candle does not do that. I can’t even smell it in an enclosed area. I am extremely upset. I can stand right over it and there is no smell. If I would have known I would have never spelt this much money on a candle and would have stuck to wax melts.

Smells Like Christmas Nostalgia!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this candle for so many reasons - its cozy, yummy scent, the familiar glass top lid, and everything it reminds me of growing up with this one scent burning nonstop during the holidays in my childhood home. The Christmas season always officially started the day after Thanksgiving when my mom would bring out a fresh Yankee Candle (Christmas Cookie) jar and light it while taking down the Autumn decorations, and putting up the Christmas ones. Such fond memories come wafting back every time I carry on the tradition and light this candle myself to begin the Christmas season!

Christmas cookie is delicious but weak scent
Love the scent but it doesn’t have much of a throw. Would be better if it was stronger.

Disappointed
I am very disappointed this time, I purchased 2 of the Christmas cookie and there is no smell to either one ! This use to be my favorite fragrance. They have been burning for over 5 hours and no aroma at all ! I have a dollar store vanilla candle in the kitchen and I can smell it 2 rooms away. Huge disappointment this year. I do have a chocolate cake and a buttercream to light, I hope they do not disappoint.

Smells like mom is baking cookies!
Christmas Cookie, this is ONE of my favorite candles! Takes me to Christmas at home with mom every time I burn it. She's made her sugar cookie dough and buttercream icing every holiday since I can remember. Now my children get in on the fun of cutting festive shapes and decorating duties. She gives me two of these candles over Thanksgiving. Surprisingly, they last through the holiday season. Pair this candle with YC Buttercream Icing and you'll be in for a sweet treat! Thanks YC for these memories in a jar.

Delightful
I will be honest and say that this was intended to be a gift. I am not usually a fan of food-scented candles, and my spouse is not a big fan of scented candles period. This one earned thumbs-up from both of us. Not too heavy. Not too sweet. Just a lovely warm vanilla have-you-been-baking kind of scent. Sometimes I get tired of a big jar candle, and after it's half-burnt, it will languish in a closet, but we burned this down so far we had to hold the match with pliers to reach the wick.

Usually don't like cookie Candles but WOW!
I got this one in a christmas gift basket along with an old favorite. I usually don't like cookie or cake candle smells but this one is an exception.. It adds just the right smell to my Christmas collection plus it looks nice with the others. It has an excellent throw. The whole house smells great! Last year I had it burning with Christmas Eve & Christmas Punch. The whole house smelled wonderful!

Christmas all year long, why not?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only great at Christmas, but all year long. This is a staple that burns every night in our home. It’s light and subtle. The perfect scent.

Zero Throw! No smell even with nose on it, go with Vanilla Cupcake
I enjoy the bakery scents of Yankee candle which led me to buying the Christmas cookie, Vanilla cupcake, and some fruitier candles. I tried to give this one the benefit of the doubt by burning it on 3 occasions for multiple hours each and with each time, I get absolutely no smell out of it. Even if I put my nose on it, there is no smell. I do not understand the previous reviews about how this fill fill a room, it cannot even fill the air inside of the candle.

Does not smell very strong
Very disappointed in the smell. Thought it would have a stronger scent and it is very weak. I bought 3 candles because I had this scent before and I loved it. Very disappointed ☹️

What happened to the old Christmas Cookie? This candle has ZERO scent. I am so disappointed as I purchased multiple expecting the delicious scent I’ve come accustomed to.

Best scent in the world
I’ve been buying this since it came out. SO DELICIOUS SMELLING. Just wish they didn’t tunnel. You have to burn it for about 4 hours and hope for the best.

My Favorite Candle!!!!
This candle only comes out at the stores for the holidays. I stock up on it for the year. I love the smell of vanilla that comes from it. I have had many people ask when they come into to house what kind of cookies am I making? This candle has a soothing smell of vanilla much better then Vanilla Cupcake which you can find year round. I wish Yankee Candle would carry this scent year round! Burning it in the summer brings back memories of Christmas.
