The holidays are a time of reflection, celebration and optimism. With those ideas in mind, we came up with a list of some of our favorite holiday things!
Cookies for Claus
Enjoy some simple but delicious recipes while delivering presents!
Loaded-Up Pretzel Cookies – Pretzel cookies are a great way to combine carbs with…well, more carbs! This salty ‘n sweet mix is a uniquely delicious treat everyone will love.
Buckeyes – Aka a holiday party regular in our home state of Ohio, these rich peanut butter-based cookies are an excellent choice for anyone with a sweet tooth, even if you’re outside the “buckeye” state.
Clothespin Cookies – Also known as “lady fingers” or “lady locks,” these cream-filled pastries are always the first to go from cookie trays-and for good reason.
December Drinks
Kids aren’t the only ones who need help falling asleep on Christmas Eve! And after the mad-dash of shopping, wrapping and decorating, we bet you’ll want to unwind with one of these holiday beverages.
Eggnog with Brandy, Bourbon or Rum – This holiday staple is even better when you make it from scratch!
