Classic Holiday Spritz Cookies by Everyday Eileen: What’s Christmas without the classic spritz cookie? Buttery, sugary, and very festive!
Classic Struffoli by Sugar Love Spices: This one has a very special place in my heart because my Mom used to make it for us every year for Christmas. Crunchy fried balls coated in honey and colored with candied fruit and candy sprinkles is always a big hit on any dessert table!
Brownie Whoopie Pies by Girl Heart Food: These beauties are basically a little chocolate cake studded with peanut butter chips and a creamy Nutella peanut butter filling. I’ll be honest, I’m not sharing any of these when I make them.
Cranberry Lemon Biscotti by Me: Biscotti is a twice baked cookie that’s perfect for giving away as gifts because they sturdy little suckers. Make a bunch, pack them up, and mail away to all your long distance family and friends. Great for dunking in coffee, tea, or a dessert wine too!
How to Make the Best Italian Rainbow Cookies by Everday Eileen: My favorite Italian cookie is perfect on any Christmas table because they are already decorated in holiday colors! And they taste darn great too.
Chocolate Shortbread Cookies by Girl Heart Food: A double chocolate treat! Chocolate shortbread cookies are dipped in melted dark chocolate and sprinkled with walnuts and dried cranberries.
The Best Coconut Cream Poke Cake Recipe by A Fork’s Tale: If you like coconut, you’ll love this simple recipe for a moist coconut cream poke cake. It’s baked in a sheet pan and so easy to transport to a holiday party!
Crispy Tahini Chocolate Cups by Me: Made with creamy sesame tahini, crispy organic brown rice cereal, and delicious dark chocolate, these chocolate cups are a kicked up crunch bar.
