Hey Alexa, play “Christmas Cookies” on Spotify.
It seems like December is the month of holiday desserts to share with family and friends. While this holiday is different from any other and we have to give up large gatherings, we don’t have to give up our desserts!
1. 5 Ingredient Peppermint Patty
One of the easiest recipes for a dessert I’ve seen, these peppermint patties can be a fun thing to make with kids!
2. Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are synonymous with the holiday season, so we had to include them on this recipe roundup!
3. Chocolate Orange Cake
Drool-worthy. Get the recipe.
4. Plant-Based Eggnog
No eggs in this eggnog!
5. Jam Tarts
Tasty, pretty, and perfect, we need these jam tarts on our holiday menu!
6. Fluffy 1-Bowl Sugar Cookies
Not only is this recipe easy, but you can decorate the cookies for the holiday you celebrate!
7. Sweet Potato Pie
Can we have two pieces of the sweet potato pie, please? YUM!
8. Mexican Hot Chocolate
Perfect for any chilly winter night, but Mexican hot chocolate is especially wonderful during the holidays.
9. German Chocolate Cake Frosting Truffles
These do take some time, so we recommend preparing the truffles in advance!
10. Panna Cotta with Brown Sugar Sauce
Two words: more please! Get the recipe.
11. Gingerbread Cookies
Did you think you’d make it through this list without a gingerbread cookie recipe?!
12. Plant-Based Eggnog Doughnuts
Believe it or not, these doughnuts only take about 30 minutes to make!
13. Panforte
A traditional Italian Christmas cake, this sweet, nutty dessert dates back to the 13th century!

I would eat this chocolate peppermint mouse every night if I could.
15. Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Put a dollop of ice cream on a piece of this cake and we’re sold!
16. Candy Cane Meringue Kisses
You could be the next Great British Baking Show’s “Star Baker” with this meringue recipe!
17. Jam Doughnut Cupcakes
A twist on classic jelly doughnuts, you’ll want to save some of the jam doughnut cupcakes before your guests eat them all!
18. Danish Butter Cookies
What’s the holidays without Danish butter cookies? Bonus points if you put them in a holiday tin (that your mother will eventually use for sewing needles and thread…. Just me then? OK!).
19. Black Forest Arctic Roll
Cake and ice cream in one? This black forest arctic roll is two gifts in one!
20. Dairy-Free Eggnog Cheesecake
This recipe is delicious, refreshing, and pairs well with coquito!
