Once you've made the treasure chest, use any leftover dough and icing to make fun pirate-themed cookies. Soup cans work well for propping up the cookie pieces while you're assembling the chest.
These spiced sugar cookies are a breeze to make during the busy holiday season. We've topped them with store-bought chocolate rosettes, but chocolate-covered cashews make a tasty substitution.
I am a diabetic and needed a good recipe that was low carb. This is a recipe that I created that was delicious, low carb and easy. Everyone in our family loves it - and it is easy to modify for those who don't like blue cheese (though why they would not, I can't imagine!)
Buttery shortbread gets a warm hug from spiced gingerbread dough in this mash-up of two favourite holiday cookies. A nutty brown butter glaze brings the two flavours together.
Hamantaschen (also called Haman's Ears in Israel, or Haman's Hat in North America ) are filled triangular cookies baked especially for Purim, a joyous Jewish festival celebrating the overthrow of the evil Haman. Children don costumes and deliver gifts of food, such as these cookies, to family and friends. The cookies are delicious, so even if you aren't celebrating Purim, make some to share.
Crunchy and nutty, these sandwiches taste like indulgent ice cream truffles. If you can't have nuts, substitute with extra chocolate chips and toffee bits.
This season is all about over-the-top indulgent desserts, and this one definitely takes the cake!
Fig-stuffed cookies are essential Sicilian holiday sweets. Sometimes dressed with icing and sprinkled with nonpareils, these egg wash–glazed X-shaped ones offer a fantastic little twist.
