Nothing says it’s the holidays like the aroma of gingerbread and peppermint coming from the kitchen of your Windsong Place apartment. Today we are sharing some decadent dessert recipes to make and share for the holidays, to go along with your favorites, of course. So head out to your favorite Williamsville, NY grocery store to stock up on any ingredients you may not have on hand and do some dessert making this month.
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting from Creme de la Crumb
If you’re not the biggest fan of gingerbread cookies, try these gingerbread cupcakes! The author of the recipe says they come out of oven fluffy and moist, and the sweet cream cheese frosting perfectly complements the festive ginger and nutmeg flavoring of the cupcake.
Peppermint Bark from Sally’s Baking Addiction
Peppermint is one of the most classic flavors that can grace our homes during this season, but candy canes, while delightful and delicious, don’t always satisfy a craving for a more substantial treat. So incorporate crushed peppermint candy canes onto melted and cooled layers of white and semi-sweet chocolate, let them set, and eat to your heart’s content!
Cranberry Christmas Cake from Barefeet in the Kitchen
If you like cranberries, sweet, buttery cake; and a cake recipe that doesn’t call for icing, this is a must-try recipe. “This might be the only cake I’ve ever tasted that basically screams holidays to me,” the blogger of this recipe says. Make this for any holiday this season (or even into next year; we won’t judge). You can even make it gluten-free!
Jam-Filled Snowball Cookies from My San Francisco Kitchen
What better way to celebrate snow than to make a treat that makes you feel like you’re a kid tossing snowballs at your friends again? These snowball cookies can be filled with jam or Nutella, so make them your own. Just don’t forget to coat them in powdered sugar so you can channel the love of snow into a delicious treat that no one will want to throw at anyone.
Baking for the holiday is a time-honored tradition! We love these 20 perfect-for-winter dessert recipes. Put a few on some plates and hand them out to your neighbors or loved ones for a winter offering. We hope you enjoy whatever you make!
