Have you heard of these chicks before? I hadn’t until a few weeks ago. It was really kind of a weird little coincidence. I was in the bookstore picking up Pioneer Woman Cookbooks for a recent giveaway and my eyes locked in on a book called The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen. Loved the title and the design, but because I was over my limit on books for the day, make that month, all I did was thumb through the pages really quickly before I made myself leave.
But then, just two days later I received an email from none other than Serena, one of THE Farm Chicks. Seriously. Out of the blue. Two days later. Does stuff like that happen to you, too? Strange coincidences? It does to me all the time.
(Hmmm… The Pioneer Woman and The Farm Chicks. That’s kinda weird, too. Okay, I’m moving to the country.)
Anyway, it was a really short email message that said she wanted to send me something.
Curious, I said, ok. (I like surprises.)
And boy was I surprised when several days later I received a package full of all of these sweet, sweet gift tags.
Some with little cakes.
And others with sweet messages.
Plus there were all these fun recipe cards. (Forgive me for the extra blurriness. I was playing with different settings on my camera.)
Some even had Christmas themes.
I had no idea they had all these cute products plus a cookbook. Impressive.
Speaking of their book, I had to run out to the bookstore and get it right away.
Wish I had seen this before trying to make a pie last week. Could have come in handy.
The Farm Chicks love some pie. And the book has several yummy ones like this.
Plus, it has fun, do-it-yourself projects throughout. I’ve never made scones, but if I do, I want a scone cozy to go with them. Cozy scones. Yes. I want my scones to be cozy. Adorableness. Cuteness doesn’t quite cut it here.
Hi Serena. Thanks for sending me all the fun stuff. I love it.
Especially the necklace.
Oh, I forgot to tell you guys about the necklace. Well, it has a cake on the front of it and it’s just darling.
See.
And, since Serena sent me two of them… well…
Would you like one? Then, we can both look super cute, adorned in cake.
I’ll even throw in some of my gift tags and recipe cards, too. I’m a sharer.
(necklace, recipe cards and gift tags)

I love Monkey Bread at Christmas (dessert for breakfast, how could you not love it?)!
i love cut out sugar cookies with icing.
Red Velvet Cake . . . Yum! Yum!
hi bakerella! hope your thanksgiving was great. it would be hard to choose my favorite christmas treat! i love them all. but i really love pan de polvo cookies. YUM!
-leyla (leyflo@gmail.com)
My family is Minnesotan, and every Christmas we eat lefse, a Swedish flat potato pancake (sort of like a potato tortilla) rolled up with butter and cinnamon sugar in it. Since moving to the south, it’s the thing I miss most about the frozen north!
favorite? i have to choose? coconut cake.. wait, homemade pralines… no, wait cherry pie… sigh… can’t choose
I love Chocolate Krinkle cookies around the holidays…mmmm!
Pie, pecan, coconut cream, cherry, chocolate all of them.
My favorite dessert is a Pecan Caramel Chocolate Tart (its almost like Pecan Pie, but better- with chocolate and caramel!) I’m new to your blog, and its, been really fun looking back through all your older posts! my Fiance has been reaping the very yummy rewards of this site so far!
Pecan cookies all the way!!!
Crossed fingers…
Mmmmm…definitely fudge…chocolate, peanut butter, orange cream and peppermint. This year I am going to try to make cookies and cream fudge. Hopefully it will turn out.
Russian teacake cookies made by my aunt Michelle.
I like chocolate chip cookies pretty much any time. I hear Santa does too!
LOVE apple cinnamon cake during the holidays!
homemade cookies, especially cut-out sugar cookies!!!
decisions decisions…favorite has to be my mom’s peanut butter cookies with the herhey kiss in the middle
p.s. loved the sesame st. pops-hoping an opportunity to make them comes up soon. hope you and family are enjoying a happy holiday season full of baking and eating :)
Every Christmas my dad makes Lady Fingers or Almond Cresents as they are also known. These little powder sugared cookies are TO DIE FOR and they carry so many memories for me. And no one makes them quite like my dad!
Merry Christmas!
It’s a toss up between my mother’s molasses crinkle cookies and my grandmother’s steamed carrot pudding (even my uncle, who hates all plum pudding related desserts, admits that it’s fairly excellent!). Both are staples of my Christmas dinner desserts.
I have an Aunt who makes mini-fruit tarts, and ever since I can remember those have been my favorite holiday dessert. she makes them in apricot and raspberry… simple but SO delicious!
candy canes come in a close second :)
I am a sucker for the cookies that I only seem to make at Christmas time – russian teacakes, chocolate crinkles and candy cane cookies!!
My mom’s delicious made from scratch bran muffins. So Heavenly….
I love all the treats at Christmas time. Especially the chocolate chip cookies we make Santa on Christmas eve. This year I’m actually making mint oreo truffle pops for all my neighbors. And for dessert on Christmas day we keep it simple with hot fudge sundaes. Mmmm…. December’s delicious.
My favorites are the homemade candies, especially the chocolate covered coconut balls. Yummo.

Hi Bakerella!
I ADORE your blog and love to make all of your goodies! My favorite christmas treat is my mom’s homemade chocolate and peanut butter double-decker fudge! De-lish! I hope I win!
You meant favoriteS, right? Definitely extra emphasis on that “s”, there. Ha!
1. My Mom’s Peanut Butter Pie. A pain to make (this thing is all from scratch, no cool whip found anywhere in it!) but she only makes it for my brothers’ birthday and holidays. I now make it for everyone I work with for every holiday since I don’t live near her and can’t beg Mom to make it for me!
2. My Grandma’s Molasses Cookies. Why do sugar cookies for Christmas? You gotta step it up a notch, you know? We always made Grandma’s recipe and then frosted those! Mom’s rule? If you decide to go overboard on the frosting and decoration then you are responsible for eating that one yourself!
I like anything to do with cookies or candies you can get only at Christmas time. I like Candy Cane cookies, but they are a pain to make. I am interested in baking doggie treats. Can you come up with something neat for that?
Sugar Cookies!!!…Of course iced and decorated all pretty! :)
Probably chocolate topped salted caramels although I do love pumpkin rolls too.
Love those cards!
Peppermint bark!
Rachelfieber@gmail.com
I absolutely LOVE maple nut fudge! I only allow myself to make it for Christmas…cause I’ll eat the whole pan! I make it the same day I’m assembling goodie baskets for my friends… so they actually get some.
Here’s my recipe… http://peacefulcottagerecipes.blogspot.com/2009/07/maple-nut-fudge.html
Merry Christmas!
I love so many holiday treats. Right now a big fav is the pretzel turtle made with melting a rolo on a mini pretzel and then squishing a pecan on top while its warm out of the oven. YUM
I love the Martha Washington balls! It’s chocolate-y, coconutty, ooey-gooey goodness!
I LOVE peanut butter balls. (Peanut butter/rice krispy/icing sugar mixture smothered in chocolate)
I make them every Christmas!
I can’t get enough of any kind of berry pie! Yum!
I love molasses cookies, or pretty much any cookie. I also make some killer almond macaroons…
Love carmel corn made with the puff corn…..so bad for you, but tastes so good!!!
My favorite treat is peanut butter balls- dipped in chocolate of course! also have you ever tried Rollo Pretzels?? Oh My- Delish!
I like Christmas cookies. Too hard to narrow it down to one type. I love making lots and lots of cookie varieties at Christmas!
Skillet cookies or balls… not sure exactly what the name of them is. My Gma used to make them every year for Christmas and hide some just for me in the freezer.. now that she has passed away I never get them anymore… What I would do for a peek into her little recipe collection that was only in her head..
My great grandma’s apple sauce cake… its a spice cake that’s so delicious. Except she made it with nuts and raisins and such, and I prefer to make myself some cupcakes without all those. I add them for everyone else though.
Frosted christmas cookies!! Its so much fun making them, but eating them is even better!
That is a tough question to answer! I really like fudge and I like apple pie, too. I did not make apple pie for Thanksgiving, because I knew I’d eat too much of it, but I really missed it and I’m making one for Christmas for sure!
I NEED some cute foodie gift labels, too!
Seven layer bar…you know, that wonderful concoction of graham crackers, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and sweetened condensed milk…..yuuuummmmmm.
I love love love cheesecake at Christmas…I do a no-bake Cheesecake that’s rich and creamy…and sometimes I’ll add randomness to it by putting in some cocoa powder or some chocolate shavings…crushed up cookies…etc. =)
Happy Holidays!
Wow, well, there’s another cookbook to add to my Amazon.com wishlist! :) That stuff is sooo cute!
My favorite Christmas dessert is gingerbread cookies. I am the baker, but they are so fun to make. I put Christmas music on, and they are one of those things I only make on Christmas, so I look forward to them every year.
My grandmother’s sugar cookies are my favorite at Christmas time!! Also, the snowballs, those are great… really I love it all :)
Every year we invite family to make gingerbread houses from scratch. The smell is so wonderful. And when we accidently break a piece we don’t feel bad cause we get to eat the yummy gingerbread. Its a tradition we will carry on for years to come.. .. Wow now I want to go make some…ta…tta
What fun goodies. Those Christmas recipe cards are perfect for a cookie exchange! Let’s see… my favorite Christmas treat must be homemade caramel corn. I got the best recipe last year and I’m going to make it for the first time this Christmas. Here’s to a new holiday tradition (I hope.)
briecherie@gmail.com
My favorite treat is Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls, my Mom always made these and for the first time in many years I made some last year. I had people asking for more.
pnkribbon22@hotmail.com
I like orange slices dipped in almond bark.
homemade carmels
Well, my favorite is pumpkin pie, but anything pumpkin flavored will do.
My favorite Christmas time dessert is my Grandma’s peanut butter fudge bars. Its one of the few traditions my family has. Thanks!
My fav Christmas sweet is Christmass cookies. You know, those little balls of shortbready goodness rolled in powdered sugar so they looked like they’ve been sprinkled with snow?? My Granny made them every year and I’ve started that tradition with my girls!
Favorite desert? Now you’re asking a lot for me to choose! Let’s see, I guess it would have to be pecan pie with a huge dollop of whipped cream.
ANYTHING with mint and chocolate. anything.
i love my pumpkin pie, gotta have it while i can!
I’m Brazilian, and in my opinion the best holiday dessert is the Coconut Flan with caramelized plums my grandma makes. Hmmm!
Me and my aunt make a bazillion Buckeyes every Christmas. It is so much fun. Great memories.
I love thumbprint cookies! Can’t go a year without them :o)
My dad makes the best fudge, and he only makes it during the holidays, which I think makes it taste even better.
Thank you for sharing!
mmmm let me see I think it would be a nice three layer coconut cake with a big glass of cold milk ….yum yum yum.
love your site by the way….BAKE ON !!!!!
Every family get together, especially Christmas, I have to make my super easy-super yummy 8 minute cheesecake per request. Actually it’s more like a threat! My niece just loves it and wouldn’t do without it! And neither would I!! :)
dana_michelle06@yahoo.com
i LOVE desserts so it’s hard to pick just one however since you’re asking for Christmas ones it does help narrow it down. My mom & i have a tradition of making cinnamon rolls from scratch together each Christmas and now that i have 2 daughters (3 &1) my 3yr.old loves to decorate & help in anyway she can so we make cut out sugar cookies and she gets to cut them out and decorate them! sklauer@mchsi.com
Thanks and enjoy the “baking season” :)

I love my mom’s chocolte flake candy.
Chocolate Flake Candy (Christmas Favorite)
1c chopped pecans
5c dates chopped
5c corn flakes -post toasties
¼ t. salt
1 lb Hershey’s chocolate
2-1oz unsweetened chocolate
Directions:
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large miking bowl. Melt both chocolates in a small bowl and pour over the corn flake mixture. Mix lightly to coat completely. Drop from tablespoons onto waxed paper covered trays. Chill completely to set. Makes 4 dozen.
My friends wait all year for Nutty Shortbread Bars. I got the recipe from the manual that came with my Kitchen Aid mixer a few years ago. I embellish it with toffee chips which make them divine….
Anything that’s both chocolatey and minty – yum!
pumpkin cheesecake. And fruitcake. No not the doorstop ones with candied ‘fruit’ in it, but one I used to make that was made with dried fruit, 3 kinds of nuts and I forget what else other than a quart of brandy to age it. Dense but not heavy, not too sweet.
I love peanut butter balls or ritz crackers with peanut butter and dipped in chocolate. Basically, anything peanut butter dipped in chocolate :)
Anything with mint in it, mint chocolate bark, mint cookies, chocolate covered mint cookies.
You haven’t lived until you’ve tried my momma’s homemade pecan prailines. They are so rich and tender and full of pecans. The recipe is somewhat tricky and my momma has is down to a science, without any fancy gadgets like candy thermometers and such. Just a big pot, pecans, and waxed paper, and sugar, and buttermilk, and vanilla.
German Chocolate cake!
babelshelton@hotmail.com
Adorable necklace!
I love love love my mom’s peanut butter fudge which is really my grandma’s peanut butter fudge which may’ve really been her mother’s! ;o) Time to make it my peanut butter fudge- my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
We make Creme Brulee every year for christmas eve. I swear It’s better than any restaurants.
I really really love Food for the gods. I like it extra sweet. Yum.
I love the ridicul;ous amount of sweets that people share at Christmas. But my all time favorite is the divinity that my mom makes every year…that is every year that the humidity in our hometown allows her too. She buys all the ingredientsd by Thanksgiving and then she watches the barometric pressure until the day when her candies will set up perfectly. I don’t even eat but a bite throughout the season, because to me it is really more about the tradition. And I am certain it is something I wll start making some day too!
I just love traditional pecan pie. hehe
My favorite Christmas time treats would be rice krispe treats! Simple. My dad likes to crush up candy canes and add them to the mix.
My favorite dessert on Christmas day is puerrtorican cream chesse flan, this is soooo delicious………, also I love my husband Peruvian tradition to eat panettonne cake with hot chocolate at midnight of dec 24.
I love caramel corn! mmmm
I love those little wreaths made out of cereal with red hots on top. Super simple, but it means it is Christmas time.
Gingerbread man cookies. Or truffle pie. I like lemon meringue, too. And strawberry. Does it have to be just one??
I make a great french silk chocolate pie; the recipe has been in my family for ages! Love it. You can contact me at jenny.vaillancourt@gmail.com – thanks!
Gingerbread cake with orange scented whipped cream!
Snickerdoodles and Gingerbread cookies…my friend, myself and our little girls bunker down for 2-3 days of baking, making a mess, having a sleepover and making memories! It is my favorite thing to do at Christmas!
Love frosted sugar cookies
pecan tassies! lots of work..but worth every bite!
These are adorable! I love the retro style of all of the tags and cards. Love, love, love.
As for favorite Christmas sweets/desserts…I’m a huge fan of almond. My family is very Italian, so we make a lot of Italian almond cookies. Hell, sometimes I forgo the cookies and just eat almond paste from the can. :)
Sugar cookies… apple pie… pumpkin pie… just too many “favorites” to choose just one!
My mom-in-law’s butter cookies! It wouldn’t be Christmas without them. AND she makes them 100% by hand, no help from a mixer of any kind.
Plain old Chocolate Bunt Cake with some cool whip. We always have it at the holidays, with a little powered sugar on top like snow. Even if there is “better” stuff on the dessert table I still go for at least a small piece…ok it’s a big piece!
Bakerella, you’re awesome! I check your site daily for baking inspiration. Other than your recipe for nutter butter “balls” as my family would call them, our very favorite recipe around the holidays is PUMPKIN SQUARES. They’re nothing fancy – made with canned pumpkin, yellow cake mix & a few other ingredients – but they are FANTASTIC! Keep up the good work – love your site!
Without a doubt, chocolate-dipped shortbread. Sometimes with some slivered almonds sprinkled on top.
Homemade frosted sugar cookies that my Mom and I have been making since I was a kid. My kids are now helping us and it’s a awesome start to the holiday season!
my favorite is peanut butter fudge. for some reason, its one of those things that we only make around the holidays
Bakerella, you are such an inspiration!
I LOVE, LOVE my grandma’s divinity!
The dessert I love to eat is a chocolate cheesecake that my husband makes for me. I love making chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter balls, fudge, and cut out sugar cookies painstakingly detailed with frosting.. This year I think I will try your stuck Santa cupcakes and some chocolate covered cordial cherries. This cookbook looks great. Who can argue with a mix of crafts and food?!
My family makes rosettes each Christmas. They are not necessarily my favorite holiday treat but they bring back tons of memories of times with my family!
I love Peanut butter blossoms! And I don’t know why, but I never make them except in December. They’re not even Christmasy, but I just never think to make them except when I’m doing my Christmas baking!
Anything peppermint!!! Peppermint ice cream, bark, cookies, I love it all!
My favorite is actually a side dish. It’s a jello ‘salad’. Strawberry jello, with a package of frozen strawberries thrown in. Then you roll small balls of cream cheese in pecan meal and toss those in the jello. Chill, eat….YUM
my absolute favorite is spritz cookies and mince meat cookies!
i have already eaten two entire batches of spritz cookies and its not even December yet :)
Pumkin upside down cake, for sure.
My old time fave is Rock Candy….love cherry flavor! Now that I’m grown and have a son of my own, I carry on the tradition of making rock candy with him. He loves it and we enjoy discovering new flavors we can make…speaking of flavors they certainly have changed since my childhood! He is now able to find the cotton candy flavor oil where I still enjoy the originals– Cherry!
My favorite is Maraschino Cherry bars- walnuts, butter, cherries… what more can you ask for? And I’d love some of those recipe cards!! Woo HOO!
I have so many favorites, it’s hard to choose! I really like finding new cookie recipes and baking them (along with other goodies). I have 2 great cutout cookie recipes that have been a favorite for years. Butter Cookies and White Velvet Cutouts. These are the 2 best cut out cookies hands down. I bake these and decorate with homemade icing or leave plain. They are great either way. Best cakes are Red Velvet and a “Rave Review Coconut Cake”.
We love to make a variety of toffee every Christmas to share with our loved ones. My fave is macadamia nut toffee!
Anything dipped in white chocolate is my favorite!!! Those tags are so adorable!
Mmmmmm, I love pitzels at Christmas! They’re the perfect cookie treat to follow a huge Christmas breakfast – nice and light!
And those gift tags are just adorable!!
At Christmas I love my mother’s toffee! Basically butter, sugar, chocolate and pecans! So amazing!
I love sponge candy and creme drops!
My mom’s chocolate chip cookies…I use the same recipe, but can’t compare to hers!
Raspberry thumbprint cookies. What I would do to have one (or 500) right now…
Each Christmas I really look forward to my grandmas Christmas Tree Sugar Cookies… They are always perfect. Perfect golden brown sugar cookie… perfect thin icing tinted a light shade of green… and perfect little colorful sprinkles! Yum!
My mom makes Venetian cookies every year and they’re always the first thing I gobble up! Thanks for sharing your wonderful gifts with us.
Christmas desserts – the list is long but I love the hard sugar candy that you crack. And I tried my hand at cheesecakes for the first time a month ago. And last week I tried my own recipe. A Blackberry swirl cheese cake – Mmmm. So I would have to say thats my new favorite. It should be I’m making 5 for a family christmas party at the end ofthe month. =) Thanks for you wonderful tips and Ideas. Love them.
Sugar cookies by far!!!! I can’t help myself. They are an addiction and the taste says Christmas to me. :)
My favorite sweet dish is cinnamon rolls. The homemade ones that my mom makes, using her homemade roll recipe and topped with homemade icing. Warm or cold, they beat Cinnabon any day!!
effulgentfarrago at gmail dot com
I love sugar cookies for Christmas. I love the quiet time to frost and decorate.
pecan pie!
I love Forgotten Cookies! We have made those since I was a kid and they always bring back great memories!
I love “ribbon cookies” – they are striped cookies with three colors of dough – white, pink, and brown (chocolate/pecan) making the stripes or ribbons. They are so good, and I could eat an entire batch, which is why I only make them at Christmas.
Wow….just one favorite dessert?! I will say my grandmother’s delicious chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting. It’s so divine and chocolately. Love it! And love you Bakerella!!
Chocolate crinkle cookies… I’m so excited to start baking Christmas cookies with my 2 year old daughter this year!
Gingerbread all the way-cookies, houses, whatever!
Hmmm….my favorite Christmas sweet? Oh I know! Burnt butter shortbread cookies! But there’s also elaborately decorated sugar cookies AND of course besitos de coco. I can’t stop here……homemade chocolate truffles AND mendiants AND…..
Every Christmas morning my Dad still makes my great grandma’s sour cream coffee cake recipe. The warm cake and crumbly crust mean Christmas to me more than anything else we have!
Pick just one Christmas sweet? Way too hard! You name it
I love it-sugar cookies, gingerbread, rugelah, pie, cake, do I sound like a glutton? oops…Thanks for the intro another amazing cookbook and “sweet” people
Love fudge. Any kind, just sweet and rich!
I have a delicious almond raspberry butter bar recipe that is AWESOME!
my favorite holiday treat would have to be the cookie platters that people make. There are always a wide variety of home baked treats that are always delicious. I can never pick just one but if forced too it would have to be peanut butter kisses
Milk and cookies santa style.
Every cookie my mom makes for Christmas is my favorite. Thumbprints and lazy logs (dense chocolate cookies shaped like logs) are the ones my siblings and I search for the most. Did I mention my mom has to hide the cookies so we don’t eat them before Christmas? Did I mention we are all adults? Yes, we still search her house and she has new hiding spots each year. I tried to make the thumbprints but they just don’t taste like my moms. Maybe some day.
I love pumpkin pie cake, and the PB cookies with kisses in the middle. My aunt makes the cookies and I love to go to her house and eat some! Such fun and happy memories each time I bite in to one.
My mom makes a chocolate cake with creme de mint and she only makes it for the holidays! yum!
My favorite dessert for Christmas is red velvet cake!! The color is so festive and it is super yummy! :)
My boys and I love to bake gingerbread men on Christmas Eve to leave out for Santa!
My all time favourite is Banketstaaf (Dutch Christmas Log). I haven’t had it in years since there is no where around me that supplies it :( Maybe I’ll have to learn to make it myself!
Sugar cookies or gingerbread cookies, it’s a toss up.
hi, my favorite Christmas dessert is a chocolate and lemon pie. Best, Lucila
Divinity & homemade caramels, from both my Grandmas. I guess thats two though.
I love “turtles” that my great grandmother used to make. I’m going to try to make them this year.
My favorite sweet would have to be mints, anything mint really. I am a sucker for the mint M&M’s, I could eat Andes mints all day long, mint filled cookies, you name it, I like it!!! :)
Mint! Peppermint meringues, brownies with a layer of peppermint patties on top, peppermint hotchocolate and so forth and so on. But I’ll take just about any old cookie, too, I’m not picky.
Chocolate espresso cookies. YUMMMMM. I love to make a big variety of sweets but my favorite to eat are the chocolate cookies.
I love cookies around the holidays. Actually I love cookies year round, but there is less guilt around the holidays!
My absolute favorite is peppermint almond bark, homemade! Best with Life-Savers red/white Pep-O-Mints but they don’t make them in multi packs anymore :( .
My favorite desserts for Christmas are STOLLEN, Lebkuchen, Makronen, Spekulatius, und Cookies!!!!! It would not be Christmas with out them!!! <3 Love them all!!!!!!
I make caramels every year at Christmas time. Those are my favorite by far!!! My friends can’t wait to get their goody bags from me each year. :)
We always have a dessert called cherry delight.. and boy is it delightful…. I have been wanting this book for a while now … guess I better break down and just go buy it!! That is the cutest necklace and gift tags… hope I win!!! Thanks for sharing…
My favorite dessert is Chocolate Pie!!
Iced sugar cookies!!!
absolutely my favorite Christmas sweet is homemade fudge.
Reindeer Poop…aka no-bake cookies made into little spheres (I would say little balls, but, come on, I am trying to be mature) lol
My favorite is cut out Christmas cookies. I LOVE them.
Pecan Pie. My mom’s recipe is the best, and I’ve finally learned how to bake it just right (long enough that it’s not soupy, not too long so it’s not chewy).
My very own Cranberry-Spiced Chai Cake!
I love to make and decorate sugar cookies for christmas.
I love peppermint fudge….but peppermint red velvet cake is also a close second. :)
My family doesn’t really have any traditional Christmas stuff…everything is different every year…I think it’s about time for me to come up with something and change that!
Hmmm….favorite Christmas dessert? I’m not sure I can narrow it down. Fudge, date balls, iced pound cake ‘cookies’, anything with cream cheese, and on and on and on….
I would have to say Red Velvet cupcakes…. mmmmmmm
YUMYUMYUM
Homemade cookies.
I love monkey bread at Christmas. We used to always have it for breakfast on Christmas morning! Yum!
bentoforkidlet@yahoo.com
Hi, I would love to be entered to win!
Thanks,
Margaret B
My “Move Over Martha” sister Peg’s pumpkin-cream cheese roll. It is simply the best!
My moms chocolate oatmeal cookies. She only makes them at Christmas time, which makes them even better!
My daughter makes delicious candy cane cookies — I love them!
Iced sugar cookies are my all time fav!
Without a doubt, it’s got to be 7 Layer Cookies!! They are time consuming, but SO worth it. Oh, and they have to have raspberry preserves, not apricot. Thanks!
jnvistoso@hotmail.com
Pannatone is our Christmas tradition. Grandma may be gone but I still relive the childhood memories of her and her delicious holiday bread.
Cookies :)
Amish sugar cookies. I love this stuff! I will go check it out. I’m due for a bookstore run!
Coffee with some Baileys!
Welcome to the Farm Chicks club – better late than never!!! :>) Favorite Xmas cookie – pizzelles – we make them every year. Oh, and anything chocolate!!!!!
I love, love, love buttertarts… so I save them for December cause I can’t be trusted with them available year round!
My holiday favorite dessert is the sweet potato pie. Usually I have to make extra pies because my family always take a potato pie home.
Chocolate oreo balls. Easy to make and oh so addictive! Love your ideas. So glad my friend showed me your site. Thanks. jessica.nickels@okstate.edu
We make a Chocolate desert in our family that is a very guarded secret.
Kacie.steward@gmail.com
My favorite Christmas dessert is my coffee cake. I make it for Christmas morning. It’s a yeast cake, filled with meringue and pecans and cinnamon. Rises in frig. overnight and finished in the morning.
Decorated gingerbread and sugar cookies! =)
My sister makes these bars with Special K cereal and peanut butter that I indulge in every year. They’re so bad for you, but oh so good!
Soft ginger cookies with molasses that I found in a Gooseberry Patch Christmas cookbook. They make your whole house smell like Christmas when you’re baking them and taste heavenly. I made these for an informal get-together with the ladies from work and EVERYONE wanted the recipe!
My Grandma’s peanut butter blossom cookies! no wait… my Mom’s Lemon Ricotta cookies, no wait… Aunite Betty’s super sweet cinnamon apple sauce… OH MAN, what an impossible question to answer! Super cute book too Farm Chicks, very berry clever.
Jennifer – minneapolis

I love Christmas cake. Fruit cake, with cherries and dried fruit, with marzipan and icing on top. Lovely served with some Wensleydale cheese!
Oh that is an easy one! I love, love Memi Jeane’s fudge! She makes it the best!
Wow, that is a hard one. I would have to say Pecan Pie, followed by Peanut Butter Roll, closely followed by Peanut Butter Balls (some people call them Buckeyes), closely followed by ….well actually, I don’t think there is a sweet I don’t like at Christmastime!! (except for Pumpkin Pie, that is) :)
I found a new recipe to try for Thanksgiving, Upside Apple Pie. It is delicious and it WILL be the dessert I make for Christmas.
Those goodies are adorable! And who wouldn’t want a cake necklace?? Thanks so much for the opportunity to win.
Well it would be very nice to win this, but just wanted to thank you for the heads up on the products and the cookbook. Will put that one on my Christmas list.
My favorite dessert at Christmas would be hard to narrow to one so I’ll give you a list…
1. Red Velvet Cake w/pecans
2. Forever Ambers (Orange slice candy)
3. Buckeye Balls
4. Tiny pecan sandies (These are about the size of a dime and are delivered to our office by the sweetest client)
I love my grandma’s fruitcake! It’s just enough cake to hold the nuts and fruit together. It’s yummy!
I hate to admit my favourite Christmas dessert is store bought, but you can only get PC Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge Crackle Ice Cream. There’s always tons of baked goods in our house around Christmas, & there are some really delicious ones, but you can only get this ice cream around the holiday season.
Two favorites…homemade butter cookies pressed through the cookie press (we’ve been making these since I was a kid) and peppermint bark. Yum.
cookies, cookies, and cookies and I have to have my mom’s chocolate pie!
Every Christmas, my Mother In Law makes homemade Peanut Butter Balls. They are best right out of the fridge.
No surprise here, cinnamon rolls are my favorite (my mom’s)!
:)
My favorite Christmas Cake is Coconut Cake. It is delicious….I really should make it more than once a year!
Those recipe cards and tags would be perfect for my Christmas goodie bags!
My favorite Christmas sweet is one we only make for the holidays: Scotcharoos. They are rice krispies mixed with peanut butter and then topped with melted butterscotch and chocolate. Yoooowza.
My Great Grandma Nell’s Cutout Cookies. My grandma makes about a million of them so we can all overdose on sugar cookies on Christmas Eve. It’s not Christmas without them!
