This time of year there’s no shortage of desserts. But, as much as you love your tried and true favorites, it’s always good to experiment during the holiday season, and with these festive family dessert recipes, you may just find a new tradition for your home.
Christmas Sugar Cookies With Royal Icing
They’re crisp and brown on the outside yet soft and chewy and the inside. What more could you want from a holiday cookie? The meringue-based royal icing is perfect for decorating.
Peppermint Macarons
Did somebody say peppermint? You can’t have Christmas without peppermint, and these cookies certainly deliver. While they may look and taste like they came from a fancy bakery, they’re actually easy to make from your own home kitchen.
Gingerbread Cookies
The gingerbread man is almost as representative of Christmas as Old Saint Nick himself. These classic treats are spiced to perfection with ground ginger and rich molasses. Can’t you taste the warm chewiness in your mouth already?
Peanut Butter Blossoms
No two foods go together quite like chocolate and peanut butter. One way to marry these two flavors is with a delicious, buttery peanut butter cookie topped with a chocolate kiss. Actually, maybe these should be a year-round treat.
Snickerdoodles
This classic holiday cookie is soft, puffy, and chewy with those nice crisp edges that make for an amazing taste, particularly because they’re covered with a cinnamon-sugar coating that is rich and delicious.
Pecan Pralines
They are sweet, rich, crunchy and a perfect use for pecans. The nutty caramel flavor makes these pralines very delicious. Plus, they’re easy to prepare and make ideal Christmas gifts for practically anyone on your list.
