A Sweet Treat: Sugar Cookie
There’s always a connection between festive sugar cookies and the Christmas season. And there’s nothing like frosting and decorating with tunes in the background and hot cocoa in your mug! These beautiful Chocolate Dipped Christmas Cookies (courtesy of Aniko Levai from Place of My Taste) are dipped in chocolate, and sprinkled with cashews. They’re made with butter, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, salt, semi-sweet chocolate chips and roasted cashews. They’re wonderful to eat and to gift!
These peppermint sugar cookies are another beautiful addition to a holiday table or gathering. From the creative mind of Chef Billy Parisi, they’re a mix of Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, coarse turbinado sugar—and, of course, crushed candy canes. Serve alongside a cup of eggnog!

A Few Other Treats We Love
Perhaps you’re looking for festive Christmas treats other than cookies and cakes. These Peppermint Brownies are so easy to make (and even more wonderful to eat). They’re made with our Gluten Free Brownie Mix, butter, egg, pure vanilla and peppermint extract. We like to think these brownies are the perfect ode to the winter season, especially when paired with a peppermint mocha.
If cookies are more your style, these Old Fashion Sour Cream Cut-Out Cookies have a cake-like softness and are topped with an incredible buttercream frosting. Once you roll out the dough onto a floured surface, use cookie cutters to achieve the perfect shapes of trees, snowflakes and more. Allow them to cool before frosting, then store in an airtight container. Just don’t forget the sprinkles!
