I'm baking cookies this year and hand delivering to those I know that don't bake or live alone. We all love a treat every once in a while and I know they will be welcomed!
banana bread and snowflakes
Making up some coconut spice apple cakes with walnuts and raisons. Serwran wrap the cakes and add a jar of homemade caramel for a nice topping. Pumpkin bread with a light cream cheese spread. And cranberry almond balls! Everyone else makes cookies so by the end of the second week in December I’m usually full up on them.
Cookies of course! A basic dough cookie with a chocolate mint ( ex: Andes) inside, and topped off with a pecan half.
Toffee Cracker Candy! It’s so easy… melt butter and brown sugar and pour over saltine crackers. Bake in the oven for 8 mins and spread chocolate chips on top when they come out!
WOULD LOVE TO CREATE A LOT WITH THIS!!!!!
Home made chocolate chip cookies….first thing I ever learned to bake a very long time ago! Also snicker doodle cookies, walnut cups, and peanut blossoms. Packing in clear bags tied with red and green ribbon. I will also make some potato pancakes for the neighbors using the recipe from my 91 year old mother-in-law which isn't written at all…just know how to do it from her…"when it looks good, the batter is done!"
I hope it comes with directions so I can learn to make something good! It looks very cool.
My goal for this December is to perfect a 100% organic and vegan version of the "Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes".
Iced Sugar Cookies with my mom's recipe. Today is the fifth anniv of her death…be a wonderful present to me and my son and I would always think of Grandma's baking

Lefse, a norweigan favorite.
Sugar cookies and of course santas favorite chocolate chip cookies. All made by my little helpers.
Oh! It's beautiful! My old processor started to smoke the last time I used it =/ I bet this baby won't have any trouble making all kinds of holiday cookies and, of course, cheeseballs – Mmmmmmm. Ooh and maybe some pizza dough for the kids to make their own "snowman" pizzas

I'll be making my great-grandmother's Danish Christmas bread, my mom's blanched almonds, and my own (stolen restaurant recipe) Death By Chocolate cookies. Homemade gifts, I think, have just the right sentiment for acquaintances, good friends and family.
…and the leftovers ain't bad, either!!!
homemade hot chocolate mixes put in cute jars so all they'll have to do is spoon some into hot water!
Perogies and an attempt at shortbread!!
I am making a steak sauce called Henry Bain Sauce. It is wonderful on a Christmas night Standing Rib Roast. It is a full-bodied sauce that adds great flavor to the juices of beef and pork OR, as an
hors d'oeuvre, poured over a block of cream cheese. Just add your favorite crackers and a bouquet of parsley. Henry Bain sauce lasts forever in the Frig. YUMMY!
gingerbread, a classic
I came across a homemade s'mores kit idea in my weekly HGTV e-newsletter and I'm going to be making that soon! It looks so awesome! Thanks!
new york cheesecake and very chocolate cheesecake–my recipe—delicious! I'll throw in some homemade fudge; chocolate of course. Then sugar cookies. Yum! Yum!
Crocheting a few scarves…maybe a mix tape.
S'mores kits, with snowmen faces drawn on the marshmallows using edible markers. "Have fun and s'more fun this Christmas!"
Homemade bread, coffee-chocolate chip cookies, and granola packaged lovingly into gift baskets. Potted (edible plants). I have decided to do all homemade gifts this year. All baskets and plant pots are coming from thrift stores. Nothing new for anyone this holiday season!
We love cooking, especially around the Holidays! I make Fudge, soups, and cupcakes decorated in holiday and in favorite sports team themes. My son helps and makes a really great pumpkin pie, too.
I will be making my Grandmother's snowball cookies for my friends and neighbors this Christmas.

Afte reading all these lovely comments on the delicious sounding goodies, alas, I will just simply be making mini loaves of poppy seed cake, strawberry nut bread and my old standby of banana nut, think I'll throw a little brandy into that one. Then wrapping each in a square of Christmas fabric with a funky closure.
MMM Just put all the fixin together and turn it on and mmmm gravy!
I will be baking gingerbread cookies. (that has been the request this year)
