If you're a keen baker or just a lover of sweet treats in the winter, you need this Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie candle in your life. It's got vanilla. It's got cinnamon. It's got sugar. It's even got butter listed as one of the fragrance notes.

Customer review: "When I light this candle guest think I am seriously baking sugar cookies in the oven. The buttery goodness of buttercream icing gives this scent something sweet. But upon second sniff. Their is just a hint of something different. Perhaps nutmeg or cinnamon. I think that is what distinguishes it from the buttercream scent. Christmas Cookie is the perfect scent for the holidays. Reminds me of my childhood when we baked dozens of cookies for the whole family as gifts. Yankee Candle has done a fantastic job! And I am glad this is a holiday tradition in their collection. Because it is a staple in my household! :)"
