‘Tis the season for holiday baking. Delicious treats perfect for sharing with family & friends, neighbors & teachers. Family memories in the making. Since Friday’s events in Connecticut, I’ve felt an overwhelming urge (more than usual this time of year) to hold tight to the kids and relish in these precious childhood moments. And, what a better way to do that then having fun at home in the kitchen, baking up some delicious treats & making Christmas memories!
I’ve got a few new things to hopefully share with you this week (some SUPER delicious new peppermint combos we’ve been trying). But, in the meantime, here are a few favorites:
Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies
To help get baking ideas, Safeway’s Chef Assistant app (available in the itunes store) offers holiday recipes and tips, a baking timer, and a fun “Virtual Cupcake Decorator” that allows you and your children to decorate a virtual cupcake. Then, you can email or share the creation on Facebook and Twitter.
And, of course, there is always Pinterest too!
