Pumpkin Snickerdoodles: I made these for Thanksgiving and got compliments from my 4 and 5 year old nieces so I know they were a hit!
Soft Gingersnap Cookies: A new recipe this year. I love gingersnaps and figured a soft gingersnap couldn't be terrible :)
Candy Cane Marshmallow Sticks: I'm thinking of setting up a hot cocoa bar when I host my family for Christmas and I think these guys would be a perfect addition to the bar.
Peppermint Bark: One of my favorite Christmas treats. Speaking of Peppermint Bark, have you tried the Dove variety? They are delicious!
Oreo Pops: Because they are festive and easy.
Banana Bread - Mini Loaves: My friend Ali has a great banana bread recipe that I plan to use. And, I'll probably add chocolate chips.
Peanut Butter Blossoms: A Christmas staple.
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies: I made these for Valentines Day and liked them so much that I'm making them for Christmas too. Plus, they are very cute and festive.
Lemon Shortbread Cookies: Another new recipe. I've developed a strong love for all things lemon and I think these would be a nice Christmas cookie.
Chocolate Crinkles: Because these should appear on every plate of Christmas cookies.
Looking at this list, it would appear that I need to start baking! The beauty of most of these cookies is that they will freeze well so I can make them ahead of time and pull them out when I'm ready to assemble the plates.
What are you baking this year? What are some of the Christmas baking staples in your house?
