Holiday baking is my thing. I absolutely love it. From measuring all the flour to the enticing smells of the holiday treats in the oven. I also love making little kits for others to make their own holiday treats. Check out some mixes I made as gifts last year:
So today I thought I’d share some tasty recipes of holiday treats I plan on making in the coming weeks. All of the pictures below link to the blog where I found them and additional recipes can be found on our Pinterest board.
Holiday Treats – Recipe Roundup
Red Velvet Sugar Cookies
I love red velvet anything and sugar cookies are a given during the holidays. So put these two together and you have a fantastic cookie to share and enjoy.
Marble Sugar Cookies
Red velvet not your thing (gasp!), that’s OK. Here’s a classic sugar cookie with a twist. How cute would these be in a gift basket?
Homemade Chocolate Rum Cake Recipe
I don’t know what’s a staple at your family holiday meal, but my family loves a good rum cake. I’ve seen versions using pound cake (you can find one on our Pinterest board), but I personally love chocolate rum cake.
Naughty & Nice Mint Mousse Brownies
The description on the blog says: Moist and fudgy dark chocolate brownies, topped with a minty, fluffy cloud of mousse and studded with cookie crumbles (naughty) & candy canes (nice)! How could you not want to make these?! I’m tempted to try to bite my computer screen right now.
Brown Sugar Pecan Cookies
You may say pee-KAHN, but I’m Southern and it’s PEE-can to me. Either way these look so good!
Molasses Spice Cookies
This one is simple and I have all the ingredients already so it looks like I’ll be making these cookies this weekend.

Those sugar cookies look amazing!
I’m making some of the marbled to add to gift baskets and I’m so excited to do a taste test. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I think I bake more during the holidays than any time of year, it’s like an addiction that causes my family members to gain weight while I continue recklessly baking. 🙂
Ha, I do the same, but I just absolutely love baking and won’t stop. -Donni

Yum! These all look fantastic. I love how those marble sugar cookies look. We always make sugar cookies, but it’d be so fun to make them like this instead.
