1 Chocolate Chip Cookies

You just can’t beat a classic. Gooey chocolate chips and a cold, crisp glass of milk should put smiles on everyone’s faces. You could even mix it up by throwing in some cinnamon or swapping Andes Mints or red and green M&Ms to make them more festive. Check out this recipe for a starting point.

2 Snickerdoodles

Chewy, cinnamon delights make the perfect companion to a chocolate chip cookie or pumpkin pie – or are great on their own. A doughy batter will require a bit of elbow grease to mix, but then makes for a perfect, chewy cookies. Check ’em out here.

3 Pumpkin Pie

This is another classic. Pumpkin pie may be most associated with Thanksgiving, but it’s a perfect blend of the season’s best spices …  and makes for a great vehicle for whipped cream, too. Whatever feast your family is planning, this would make a delicious addition to the table.

Another quick, yet delicious offering is peppermint bark. And if you’re baking with children, they’ll have a blast breaking the candy cane pieces in a plastic bag. Then all you have to do is melt down some chocolate and spread it all together in a baking pan. For a more detailed explanation, check here.
