Pumpkin Molasses Cookies - soft and chewy like cookies should be, these add a nice amount of spice and variety to your cookie plate. (And I make this recipe with gluten and non-vegan.)
Pumpkin Mousse and Gingerbread - the mousse is light and fluffy, and the gingerbread pairs wonderfully with it to add more spice and snap. We've made it as a pie, as mini cookie pies or just to dip the cookies in. The mousse also makes great filling for crepes.
Pumpkin Souffle - like a crustless pumpkin pie, this is what I'll be having for Thanksgiving this week.
Sugar Cookies - these cookies are definitely not limited to Christmas. We usually make them for most holidays, birthdays and just-because days too.
Fairy Bites - nothing fancy about tiny shortbread cookies with sprinkles on top, but they are requested each year.
Peppermint Snowballs - I made these for the first time in 2015 and instantly knew they would become a Christmas tradition. These are a must-make every December.
Peppermint Meringue - I like to make these for my gluten-intolerant friend. And they are yummy for me too, of course.
Rice Krispie Squares - no reason to include the recipe because it comes written on the box. The only difference is we use peppermint marshmallows, or you could add 1 tsp of extract to make them minty.
Candy Cane Fudge - basically two ingredient fudge with crushed candy canes on top. So super simple but you can't go wrong with chocolate!
Cookie Dough Fudge - after the first time I knew it would be made again and again. I've included this recipe in my daughter's journal because I know she'll want it when she's older. It does require more than just two ingredients, but worth the extra time (which still isn't long!).
Chocolate Orange Muffins - not just a Christmas-time muffin, but I love how these taste like the chocolate orange I always get in my stocking. I like these best as mini muffins and will also make them as lime coconut or lemon poppyseed just by swapping out the zest and one ingredient.
