"content": "\u003cp>These darkly sweet, spiced cookies are the epitome of what the holidays should taste like... and they make your house smell pretty darned good when they are baking too. Plenty of ginger gives them a little bite and dark molasses and dark brown sugar add sweetness with lots of flavor. (If you like a little more spiciness, add 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with any dough that you roll out and cut into shapes, be sure to chill it until cold so it’s easier to roll and transfer the shapes to the baking sheets. I like to roll mine so they are thick enough to easily decorate without breaking (and easier for little kiddo hands too).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choose any shaped cutters you like, such as gingerbread men/women/kids, snowflakes, stars, Christmas trees, or stockings. You can decorate them before baking by pressing small candies, raisins or dried currants, or mini chocolate chips into the dough or sprinkle them with sparkle sugar. Or just leave them plain and make the royal icing in the recipe. The royal icing dries hard and is ideal for piping fine lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-104615\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes.jpg\" alt=\"Gingerbread snowflakes with sparkle sugar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gingerbread snowflakes with sparkle sugar. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Gingerbread Cookies\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 2 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp ground ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp ground cinnamon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp ground nutmeg\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 tsp ground cloves\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp baking soda\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup unsulfured molasses (not blackstrap)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Royal icing for piping (optional)\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/8 tsp cream of tartar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg white\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In a bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.

Plenty of ginger gives them a little bite and dark molasses and dark brown sugar add sweetness with lots of flavor. (If you like a little more spiciness, add 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with any dough that you roll out and cut into shapes, be sure to chill it until cold so it’s easier to roll and transfer the shapes to the baking sheets. I like to roll mine so they are thick enough to easily decorate without breaking (and easier for little kiddo hands too).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choose any shaped cutters you like, such as gingerbread men/women/kids, snowflakes, stars, Christmas trees, or stockings. You can decorate them before baking by pressing small candies, raisins or dried currants, or mini chocolate chips into the dough or sprinkle them with sparkle sugar. Or just leave them plain and make the royal icing in the recipe. The royal icing dries hard and is ideal for piping fine lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-104615\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes.jpg\" alt=\"Gingerbread snowflakes with sparkle sugar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/gingerbread-snowflakes-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gingerbread snowflakes with sparkle sugar. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Gingerbread Cookies\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 2 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp ground ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp ground cinnamon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp ground nutmeg\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 tsp ground cloves\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp baking soda\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup unsulfured molasses (not blackstrap)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Royal icing for piping (optional)\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/8 tsp cream of tartar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg white\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In a bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.

Toasty and chewy, these nutty cookies are perfect for dipping in melted chocolate, and they also just happen to be gluten-free (for anyone looking for gluten-free options out there.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I use almond paste (not marzipan) in these, which you can find in 7 oz tubes in most well-stocked supermarkets. Almond paste is better for baking, and has a little coarser texture and is a little less sweet than its sister almond product, marzipan. Marzipan is smoothly textured, sweeter, and is often used for molding into shapes for candies (like the marzipan mushrooms you can make for your Christmas bûche de Noël) or rolling thinly to cover cakes and the like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the dough is mixed I like to roll each cookie portion in crushed sliced almonds for a extra crispy texture on the outside. Plus it’s another way to get even more almonds packed into these little bites of love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can serve them as is, or dip them in the melted chocolate, depending on how fancy you want to get. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104504\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate.jpg\" alt=\"Get fancy and dip the almond crescents in chocolate.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get fancy and dip the almond crescents in chocolate. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Chocolate-Dipped Almond Crescents3>\n\u003c/h3>\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 12 cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 cup sliced almonds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7 ounces almond paste \u003c/li>\n\u003cp>2 ounces almond flour\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg white \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Toasty and chewy, these nutty cookies are perfect for dipping in melted chocolate, and they also just happen to be gluten-free (for anyone looking for gluten-free options out there.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I use almond paste (not marzipan) in these, which you can find in 7 oz tubes in most well-stocked supermarkets. Almond paste is better for baking, and has a little coarser texture and is a little less sweet than its sister almond product, marzipan. Marzipan is smoothly textured, sweeter, and is often used for molding into shapes for candies (like the marzipan mushrooms you can make for your Christmas bûche de Noël) or rolling thinly to cover cakes and the like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the dough is mixed I like to roll each cookie portion in crushed sliced almonds for a extra crispy texture on the outside. Plus it’s another way to get even more almonds packed into these little bites of love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can serve them as is, or dip them in the melted chocolate, depending on how fancy you want to get. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104504\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate.jpg\" alt=\"Get fancy and dip the almond crescents in chocolate.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get fancy and dip the almond crescents in chocolate. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Chocolate-Dipped Almond Crescents3>\n\u003c/h3>\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 12 cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 cup sliced almonds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7 ounces almond paste \u003c/li>\n\u003cp>2 ounces almond flour\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg white \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Preheat the oven to 375°F.

You can easily turn these into vanilla sugar cookies by omitting the lemon zest and juice in the cookies and replacing it with 2 tsp of vanilla extract, and using milk instead of lemon juice in the icing (but I honestly don’t know why you would even consider that!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut these into stars, or any other holiday shape you like: Christmas trees, snowflakes, Santas, stockings, just to name a few. Just make sure the dough is chilled before you start rolling and cutting or the shapes will be hard to transfer to the baking sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like to keep the icing white and sprinkle it with a little sparkle sugar before the icing dries, but you can also divide the icing and add a little food coloring to make a rainbow of colors.

So when I was considering my ideal cookie platter, I knew it had to include lemon iced cookies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These simple sugar cookies include plenty of lemon zest, but it’s the lemon icing that really give them zing. You can easily turn these into vanilla sugar cookies by omitting the lemon zest and juice in the cookies and replacing it with 2 tsp of vanilla extract, and using milk instead of lemon juice in the icing (but I honestly don’t know why you would even consider that!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut these into stars, or any other holiday shape you like: Christmas trees, snowflakes, Santas, stockings, just to name a few. Just make sure the dough is chilled before you start rolling and cutting or the shapes will be hard to transfer to the baking sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like to keep the icing white and sprinkle it with a little sparkle sugar before the icing dries, but you can also divide the icing and add a little food coloring to make a rainbow of colors. Set out your favorite sprinkles and make a party of it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104483\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1.jpg\" alt=\"Sprinkle the lemon stars with a little sparkle sugar before the icing dries.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104483\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/stars-iced-sugar1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sprinkle the lemon stars with a little sparkle sugar before the icing dries. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Lemon Iced Sugar Cookie Stars\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 4 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 1/4 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2/3 cup sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>14 tbsp butter, cut into chunks, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp cream cheese\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp finely grated lemon zest\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp lemon juice\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Lemon Icing\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4–6 tablespoons lemon juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cups powdered sugar, sifted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sparkle sugar, for decorating\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together the flour, sugar, and salt.

When rolling out the dough, do your best to keep both halves the same overall size and thickness so that you can more easily roll them up together. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use as much or as little red food coloring to make pink to red swirls, or change up the colors to make blue or green swirls. And if peppermint isn’t your thing, you can omit it and just add a little bit more vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling the log in sparkle sugar gives the finished cookies a little bit of bling around the edges, but you could also use white, green, red, or multi-colored nonpareils.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any way you slice it, these are a great addition to your cookie platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104398\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1.jpg\" alt=\"Peppermint Pinwheels\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104398\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peppermint Pinwheels \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Peppermint Pinwheels\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 2 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>12 tbsp butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp milk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg yolk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 tsp baking powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp red liquid food coloring\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp peppermint extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup sparkle sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes.

They look like they are difficult to make, but as long as you can roll out cookie dough, then you can make these. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roll out the dough between sheets of parchment paper so that it doesn’t stick to the table or the rolling pin. When rolling out the dough, do your best to keep both halves the same overall size and thickness so that you can more easily roll them up together. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use as much or as little red food coloring to make pink to red swirls, or change up the colors to make blue or green swirls. And if peppermint isn’t your thing, you can omit it and just add a little bit more vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling the log in sparkle sugar gives the finished cookies a little bit of bling around the edges, but you could also use white, green, red, or multi-colored nonpareils.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any way you slice it, these are a great addition to your cookie platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104398\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1.jpg\" alt=\"Peppermint Pinwheels\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104398\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/peppermint-pinwheels-finish-above1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peppermint Pinwheels \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Peppermint Pinwheels\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 2 dozen cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>12 tbsp butter, at cool room temperature\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp milk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg yolk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 tsp baking powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp red liquid food coloring\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp peppermint extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup sparkle sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes.

You can even roll and cut the cookies, then freeze them before baking (just freeze them separately on a baking sheet, then transfer them to an airtight container; make sure to bake them directly from frozen).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sugar cookies are even great on their own, and can be rolled and cut with your favorite Halloween cookie cutters if you like.

"content": "\u003cp>When I used to work as a professional baker quite a few years back, one of my favorite breakfasts after a night of baking up buttery croissants and rustic baguettes was a freshly baked orange-currant scone. Warm and tender, it was perfection: crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when it comes to what I like to bake for my family, scones often win. They are not only delicious, but super quick and easy to make, particularly if you use the food processor. (They are also a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you know me at all, I’m a sucker for anything that contains lemon, and so this is one of my favorite recipes for scones.

Using a pastry bag, you can easily form them into little ghosts. Just pop a couple of mini chocolate chips in for eyes (and a third for a ghoulish mouth if you like) and voila. A few hours in the oven and you are ready for a party. With a lot of cute ghosts.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If I’m baking desserts during most of the year, I’m happy to dig through bins of freshly ground whole grain flours of many persuasions, experiment with natural sweeteners, and even pour cups of precious high-end olive oil into cake batter looking for more complex and (arguably) healthier versions of my favorite baked goods. Come December, however, all of this wholesomeness goes out the window. Bring on the butter, corn syrup, granulated sugar, and bright white all-purpose flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll bake whole-grain, gluten-free cookies in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where I grew up outside of Atlanta, GA, holiday cookies are always full of the state’s best nut. I’m not talking about the more famous peanut, which is far too idiosyncratic for the array of festive treats appropriate for Santa and his reindeer. No, for holiday baking, the pecan is king, its quiet sweetness and tender texture a perfect counter to the onslaught of sugar to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/puffs.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/puffs.jpg\" alt=\"Rolling the pecan puffs in sugar while still hot ensures a thorough coating.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the simplest holiday cookies to bake is the pecan puff (or Mexican wedding cookie, or Russian tea cakes, or \u003cem>polvorones\u003c/em>), a crumbly ball of butter, sugar, and nuts coated in enough powdered sugar to shower all over the counter, floor, and that nice holiday outfit you’ve just put on. My mom bakes these small round cookies in huge batches to hand out to friends, neighbors, and the endless stream of family members that files through my parent’s house at the end of December. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making the cookie dough is as simple as creaming together butter and a little sugar before adding vanilla, flour, and finely chopped pecans. The dough is as easy to work with as play-doh, so it’s a snap to roll out a batch or two.

First, it will look gooey and shiny, and it will shrink down to only a cup or so in volume. As it continues to be beaten, the mixture will gradually become lighter and fluffier, losing its gloss and looking much like butter cream frosting. Once it hits this point, I add the vanilla and chopped pecans, and then turn off the mixer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75108\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/divinity-final.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/divinity-final.jpg\" alt=\"Pecan divinity is shaped to look like soft clouds, and it tastes of sweet, nutty fudge.
