What to Bake Now: Holiday Baking

It is that part of the season that I like to call Baking Weather.

If you’re looking for me, you will likely find me nesting, baking, curling up with a good book or a favorite movie.

The snow is falling softly outside… or you’re just cuddling under a fuzzy blanket dreaming of something delicious to bake. So here are some of my favorite ideas for holiday baking:

Pie

chestnut chocolate pie

Chestnut and chocolate pie because indulgence is the name of the game this holiday season.

mince pies

Mini mince pies and Mini-sherperds pies because everything is cuter in miniature.

Cake

Coffee cake with maple and bacon – if you’re going for it, let’s go all out!

Quatre quarts pumpkin cake with cinnamon icing – still going strong.

Salted caramel tarte tatin – let’s mess (a little) with a classic.

Cookies

Almond tuile cookies  – I want to see how many of these you can eat!

Strawberry sugar cookies (dairy-free!) – so good and SO GOOD for you. Mostly.

and… if you don’t feel like “baking,” after all…

Vanilla-almond riz au lait – back to that indulgent feeling.

  1. They all look gorgeous! I’ve been baking quite a bit this year, but I don’t know if I’ll get to everything on my list. I can’t believe it’s the middle of December already.
