Rich chocolate cookies with funky mint green ice cream is strikingly delicious. So are the chocolate cookies teamed with raspberry ripple for a variation. Make sure to use the boxed type of ice cream so you can slice it.
Sesame seeds add the perfect amount of savouriness to these otherwise sweet cookies. For a pretty finish, use your fingers to pinch together any cracks in the dough after you've formed the thumbprints.
Ribbon-shaped cookies are the perfect addition to charity fund-raisers and events. Decorate in coloured icing to reflect your favourite cause -- pink for breast cancer, red for HIV/AIDS, white for violence against women or yellow to honour our Armed Forces.
This playful take on our classic brownie formula creates a peppermint-flavoured square with a festive tartan-patterned top. Disposable piping bags are easy to use and don't require tedious washing; choose ones with narrow tips for thin, elegant lines. Leave one of these delicious treats by the chimney for Santa.
These brilliant green shortbread cookie trees are just what Santa ordered this holiday season.
Tender cream cheese dough surrounds apricot-studded fudgy brownies. They take a bit of time to put together so bake one tray while assembling the second.
These invitingly spicy glazed German cookies, which can be baked ahead, are what many holiday cooks like best. Roll and cut out rectangles, fun gingerbread folk, trees, stars, or — in the northern European holiday tradition — hearts.
