The Ultimate List of Christmas Sweets and Treats

Friday, December 9, 2016

Cookies, cakes, cakepops, hot chocolates, pies, and snack mixes are all over Pinterest right now and it's making me drool. So many yummy things to bake and I haven't even started yet!!!

With so much to do around the holidays, it makes complete sense. It's tough finding a balance between getting everything done and staying sane. I am certainly not going to stress myself out over unbaked cookies, but there are several things I would really like to make before the holidays are over.

And since it's not only difficult to find time to bake, but also hard to decide what to bake, I have put together one giant list of holiday sweets and treats you may want to make this Christmas. Who knows, you may even find your new favorite recipe!

  6. Ha! I feel the same way you've felt with not doing "grown up" Christmas things during the holiday... Only thing is I still didn't accomplish them. Glad you was on your #grownwoman status this year! Those cookies look delicious!

  7. Love this! I try to be organised every year, but since I bake for a living, I usually forget to bake just for fun and make cookies for Christmas! I guess it's because when I want to have time off, I don't want to be in the kitchen, but love these cookie ideas!
