UPDATE: This giveaway is now CLOSED! The winner is “Connie the Cookie Monster” (#1879). Congratulations! Thanks to everyone who entered!

Today is our last giveaway of the holiday season and we are going out with a big bang! We teamed up with our friends at KitchenAid to offer you an AMAZING KitchenAid giveaway. One lucky reader will win a KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor, a 7 Qt KitchenAid Stand Mixer, AND a KitchenAid 5 Speed Hand Blender. I think I just heard you scream with excitement:) I know I am jumping with joy! We love all of our KitchenAid appliances and these are 3 of our very favorites! We are SO excited about this giveaway!

The KitchenAid 13-cup Food Processor is awesome! We use ours all of the time to shred cheese and zucchini, make galette dough, make dips, and more. The 13-cup KitchenAid food processor really does everything. It slices, shreds, kneads, chops, and purees. It is a dream machine! And it has the first-ever externally adjustable slicing lever, which makes adjusting from a thick to think slice a breeze! It also has a 3-in-1 Ultra Wide Mouth Feed Tube that accommodates foods of all sizes. The Food Processor is also BPA free and dishwasher safe. It comes in red, chrome, silver, black, and white.

My KitchenAid 7-quart Bowl-Lift Residential Stand Mixer is my very best friend. My KitchenAid mixer has helped me make numerous batches of cookies. We have already shared so many memories together. Our mixer is part of our family:) Caleb is also very fond of our mixer. Every time he hears it turn on he crawls as fast as he can to watch.

The 7 Qt Mixer has a 1.3 HP Motor with 10 different speeds. It can mix, whip, and knead like no other machine on the market. It can hold over 8 pounds of dough and make 14 dozen cookies! And it whips cream in a matter of seconds. There is no better kitchen appliance, in my opinion:) The mixer comes with a dishwasher safe  Powerknead™ Spiral Dough Hook, coated metal Flat Beater, and Stainless Steel 11-Wire Elliptical Whip. The mixer comes in red, white, black, and silver.

And last, but not least, the KitchenAid 5 Speed Hand Blender. This blender might be small, but it is mighty! It blends, chops, purees, shreds, minces, mixes, and whisks…all in the palm of your hand. It is easy to use too! You can easily change between different types of stainless steel blades with no hassle or tools. We use it all of the time for pureeing soups. You can stick the hand blender right into the soup pot! It is easy to clean because all of the attachments and accessories are dishwasher safe. And it comes with a storage case so you can keep all of the components together. This is a must have kitchen tool! It comes in black and silver.

    my favorite holiday recipe is um… well it’s only traditional in my family’s sense, but fried rice c: make it every year for new years.

  44. My favorite holiday recipe is actually just a breakfast recipe which could be eaten at any time throughout the year – Creamed Eggs on Toast. It’s easy, you make a basic white sauce, grate in hard boiled eggs, salt and pepper to taste, then serve over toast. In my family, we tear the toast into a pile of bite-sized pieces. This recipe is a favorite of mine during the holidays because it reminds me of Christmases spent at my grandparents’. If I woke up early enough, I got to tiptoe down the stairs and help grandma make the toast while listening to grandpa play carols on the organ until my rowdy brothers woke up.

  45. My husband and I have started a tradition of making a big meal of steak and crab legs for either Christmas or New Year’s (whichever one we are at home for) and it is a huge hit!

  49. My favorite holiday recipe would have to be Peanut Blossoms. They’re my all-time favorite Christmas cookie. It doesn’t feel like Christmas-time unless I’ve made a batch, or two, or three.

  50. My grandmother’s Fruitcake cookies….though they are nothing like fruitcake. I use to sit and help her cut and mix them as a child over 50 years ago…not Christmas without them

  51. Hands down, my grandma’s recipe for Chinese Chews. They are the most amazing cookie I have ever eaten/baked in my life. YUM.

  54. My favorite holiday recipe is Yorkshire pudding/popovers. It’s a family tradition, and I always end up eating about a million of them. Light and fluffy = healthy, right?

  55. M & M cookie bars, a wonderful recipe we have been making each year for more than 20 years. It came from a friend, many years ago..

  56. Hm.. I don’t have a favorite holiday recipe. Although I just started baking these awesome peppermint crunch cookies and have already made 5 batches within the last few weeks! I have a feeling it will become a tradition!

  61. My favorite Christmas recipe is a special shrimp dip that my grandma created. It reminds us of her and its delicious!

  62. My favourite recipe is for Eggnog Cupcakes. I use a basic vanilla cake recipe and substitute egg nog for the milk in the recipe. It tastes best with homemade eggnog, but store-bought eggnog will do in a pinch. Fast, easy, and gets rave reviews.

  63. My favorite holiday recipe is something my family calls Oklahoma brunch. We eat it once a year on Christmas morning. It’s a breakfast casserole with eggs, cheese, and ham in it. I look forward to it all year!

  66. I’ve always wanted a Kitchen Aide stand mixer! It would make it so much easier during the holidays. One of the holiday favorites at our house is pecan tarts. This year I’ve been making spiced and sugared pecans as well. Anything with lots of nuts is always a hit around here!

  67. I need these things badly!
    I love to make coconut macaroons. They are so simple and everyone always gobbles them up. Also, gluten free!

  68. It’s a toss up! Both are desserts, obviously. First is my mom’s pumpkin pie, which is extra spicy with cloves. And the second are candy cane cookies — they are a little tedious to roll out and twist into candy cane shapes, but definitely my all-time favorite Christmas cookie, especially a little overcooked so they are extra crunchy. =)

  69. It’s not much of a “holiday recipe” but my mom always used to make our neighbors little loaves of lemon poppy-seed bread. I love carrying on that tradition.

  70. My favorite holiday recipe is my nana’s cinnamon rolls. I only make them at Christmas every year because they are so decadent, but they are worth every bite!

  71. Favorite holiday recipe: Hard to choose, so I’ll say any type of homemade soup. Something warm to ward off the chill from outside!

  72. Giada’s Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce. I use Williams Sonoma Panettone. Expensive but well worth the treat!

  158. The one thing I look forward to the most are my mom’s Banberry Tart cookies…a little sweet and a little tart is a delightful combination!

  160. My favorite is my Martha Stewart’s Perfect French Toast because it’s what my family looks forward to every Christmas morning.

  161. Peanut butter cups-delicious, rich, yet easy. My husband votes for mushroom turnovers. They are much more time consuming!

  166. I am from Mumbai, India and being from the south would say that Payasam which is a creamy dessert made from Jaggery, Coconut Milk and Tapioca Pearls would be the most anticipated dessert around at home!!

  167. Peanut Butter Balls, hands down. They take me right back to being at my Grandma’s and sneaking into the garage to get them from her stash.

  177. so many cookies to make…. love them all, especially the raspberry shortbread roll-ups. They were my father-in-law’s FAV!
    Lorraine Salter

  178. That’s a tough question – has to be cookies that we have called ‘Frinkle Cookies’. I make them every year, and they are always a favorite of everyone!

  179. Yikes! I guess I’ll have to say my favorite Christmas recipe is for Snickerdoodle Cookies–they are my entire family’s favorite cookie.

  180. My favorite to eat would be my Grandmother’s Spaghetti…seems I am the only one in the family who took the time to watch and help her make it. It was such a joy to convert her “pinch of this” and “about this much” of that into a recipe…but worth every loving minute.

  181. My favorite holiday recipe is a dark chocolate bark with crystallized ginger, dried cherries and roasted walnuts. So decadent!

  182. It’s hard to pick just one favorite! I’d have to say my mom’s recipe for homemade turtles with home made caramels. My goodnessn– it’s not Christmas without them!!

  183. This is a fantastic giveaway!! KitchenAid is a great product and I would love to win these for my kitchen, but also share with my daughter. Trying to help her learn to cook for herself.

  184. My favorite recipe is for chocolate chip cookies – came from my grandmothers’ 1959 Betty Crocker cookbook! Nothing can beat these cookies – we love them!!

  185. Even though I don’t eat it, my favorite thing to make is garlic crusted prime rib. All my boys love love love it! I love to eat my mother’s Parkerhouse Rolls!

  186. I’m going to go with cookies. šŸ™‚ I made the chocolate chip peppermint crunch cookies on this blog and decided that they will become a yearly tradition because they were the best cookies I’ve ever had!

  187. My favorite holiday recipe is my Mom’s cranberry relish. I can’t stand the jellied, wiggly-jiggly stuff from a can. My mom’s recipe uses fresh whole cranberries, whole apples and oranges, and sugar. It’s dee-lish!
    This giveaway ends on my birthday, I sure hope I win!!!!!!!!

  188. I love all baked goods and candy but making my grandmother’s fudge tops my list. It’s yummy but more importantly it reminds me of her.

  189. Was oreo cheesecake cookies, but just made chocolate peppermint crunch pudding cookies yesterday and I think they just become my favorite.

  190. I’ll be honest with you I don’t have a favorite holiday recipe! I have discovered so many new recipes that any of my favorites are out the window. There are way to many options out there!! But if I have to choose, my favorite holiday recipe is Snickerdoodle Cookies!

  191. My mom and I have always made cookies and chocolate. She has a lemon cookie recipe that she has made since I was little. My brother andi go crazy for them!!

  192. This is a toughie. So many. I would have to say Cranberry Sauce, since that’s the only one I make specially for the holidays. My family always ate the stuff in the can, but I have converted them!

  193. German red cabbage as a side dish to a Roastbeef. It is so flavirful. It has all the Christmas flavors in it. Apple, cinnamon, Star Anise. Its just delicious!

  194. My favorite holiday recipe is Christmas Stollen. It’s a recipe passed down from my husband’s grandmother. Everyone loves it.

    This is a fabulous giveaway. My jaw dropped open when I read the post.

  195. My favorite holiday recipe is a frozen jello dessert that I have made for years. The first year I made two different jello desserts. It was obvious that the frozen one was a winner although the other recipe also had some pluses so I started combining the good parts and leaving out the less appealing ones. It eventually became Mom’s frozen Jello dessert and the holidays aren’t the holidays without it.

  196. My favorite Christmas recipe is my great great grandmother’s Mississippi Fruitcake. She was Creole and brought this recipe with her and it has been a closely guarded family secret ever since. It is unlike any other fruitcake I have ever had. It has no citron or candied fruits and the only dried fruit in it is raisins. When my husband and I were first starting out over 30 years ago and I made them for gifts, upon receiving them people were sort of, “Oh, a fruitcake. How thoughtful.” Then the next years I would get phone calls,”Are you making your fruitcake this year?” It just isn’t like any other, and the jokes you hear about fruitcakes don’t apply in it’s case. Until i’ve made that first batch and smell it filling the house with it’s aroma, Christmastime has not really started.

  197. My mom makes a pretty classic coffee cake for Christmas morning. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a slice of that cake.

  198. My favorite holiday recipe is Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding. There are so many I love at this time of year, but bread pudding is pure comfort and joy!

  199. yes you did hear my squeal of excitement!!! I don’t know that I have a favorite holiday recipe, but my sister makes a mean popover!

  200. My favorite Christmas recipe is snickerdoodles, not necessarily a traditional holiday recipe, but it always reminds me of the holidays at my grandma’s house. Think of all the snickerdoodles I could make in that mixer!

  201. I have so many favorite holiday recipes… but my very favorite is Kolachies! Light pastry with fruit… This is a family favorite as well.. ox

  202. My favorite holiday recipe is my grandmother’s Fresh Pineapple Cake. She has passed on now but she left me her baking skills. I make this cake every Christmas. It is SO much easier with a KA Mixer!

  203. My fave holiday recipe is my mother’s sweet potato casserole with all the melty marshmallows! Thanks for a great giveaway!!

  204. My favorite holiday recipe is probably pie! Any kind, really, but favorites are: pecan, caramel, pumpkin, lemon meringue, chocolate chess…

  205. thats a toughie! i have recently discovered this delish dip with fresh cranberries, sugar, jalapenos, and cilantro that i pulse up in the food processor( which i desperately need a new one so fingers crossed). I also luv, luv luv Ree’s spinach artichoke dip. Like luv luv it for reals!

  206. My favorite Christmas recipe is for mincemeat cookies! Sounds strange – but they are wonderul and the entire family devours them!

  207. My favorite holiday recipe is my aunt’s ice cream dessert she makes every christmas day…. can’t go wrong with crushed oreos, vanilla ice cream, heath bar pieces, and homemade hot fudge sauce!

  208. Homemade candies that my mom and I used to make; and that I now make. Bon Bons, Peanut Brittle, Fudge, Sugared Peanuts, Apricot Snowballs, etc. etc.

  209. My favorite holiday recipe is probably a lot different from the others. Every year, we have a roasted pork shoulder (pernil) that is beyond! It’s so delicious, marinated the night before with garlic, pepper, butter, salt, and oregano. The skin is so crispy! We are puerto rican, hence the name “pernil” and we only have this on very special occasions. So good!

  210. Without a doubt, my fave holiday recipe is my Mom’s recipe for white chocolate peanut butter “cookies”. Really, it is two Ritz crackers sandwiched together with peanut butter, and dipped in white chocolate! Sooooo good!

  211. I follow you via email (RSS) and make Butterhorns, a pastry treat, for my grown kids each year. What great giveaways!

  212. I follow you on Pinterest too and, in addition to my Butterhorns, the kids favorites, my mom and I made fruitcakes this year. They are seasoning right now!

  213. Every Christmas since I can remember my grandma makes homemade cinnamon swirl bread, tops it with some frosting and then the little crystal green and red sprinkles. I love that no one considers it dessert – it is a part of the meal like ham, potatoes, and other dishes. Since I won’t be at Christmas this year because of distance, I may have to try making it myself.

  214. I make English Toffee and it’s the best!! It’s the only thing I make where I’m in danger of eating all of it myself. šŸ™‚

  215. I love pumpkin rolls and all the yummy Christmas candies. We usually make big trays of goodies for our neighbors and friends.

  216. Well, it’s not really “holiday”, but it is a tradition in my family to have my Great Grandmother’s Spaghetti Casserole on Christmas Day.

  217. My favorite holiday recipe is the pumpkin ice cream pie my friend “handed down” to me. Everyone loves the fun twist!

  218. It’s hard to pick a favorite, I love trying new things, but I look forward to making and eating my grandma’s crinkle-top ginger (molasses) cookies every year…my daughter calls them dunkin’ cookies since they are best when dunked in coffee for breakfast!

  219. I think that I am still working on finding out what my favorite holiday recipe is. Every year, I try out new recipes (I start collecting them in Sept). So far, it happens to be one that does not involve kitchen tools: oven roasted chicken a la Mark Bittman–awesome! and everyone wants me to have some on hand for family gatherings.

  220. First of all- THANK YOU for this opportunity! What a wonderful set of gifts!!

    My favorite holiday recipe has to be English Toffee. I make multiple batches every year. I love making candy!

  221. Peanut butter fudge. This is the only receipe I can remember being at every holiday since I was old enough to have a memory.

  222. My favorite holiday recipe are these chocolate chinese noodle cookies that my mom makes. They are easy, but so delicious!

  223. My favorite Christmas recipe is Kringla! I make these every year with my mom and kiddos. My dog even likes them šŸ™‚

  224. My favorite holiday recipe is Monkey Bread. It is a tradition for us to have it every year for Christmas breakfast.

  225. My mom’s frosted sugar cookies! We make all kinds of cut outs together, my favorite to decorate are the candy canes!

  226. My mother’s recipe for fruitcake. Oh my gosh it is the best darn fruitcake in all the land! No hard lumps to be used as a doorstop here. Just moist fruity goodness. She and I make it together every year. šŸ™‚

  227. My favorite holiday recipe is brigadeiro with passion fruit mousse (Brazilian recipe) – it was not a holiday recipe, but my mom and I started to make it for Christmas years ago and it became a tradition for our family. Now that I live in the US, I make it every time I’m homesick and always make it for the holidays too, of course. šŸ™‚

  228. No matter what I bake at Christmas, three items are always on the list: Moravian Christmas cookies – cut-out cookies that bake “white” – , a ginger/molasses cookie called “Joe Frogger”, from which I cut gingerbread men – and my mother’s famous fattening fudge sauce.
    That basic recipe is super simple:
    1 1/2 sticks butter
    3/4 c. GOOD cocoa (e.g. Dutch process)
    2 – 3 c. sugar (start w/less)
    1 can evaporated milk
    dash of vanilla
    OPTIONAL: 1 tsp instant coffee, 1 T liqueur, or 3+ oz. of bittersweet or very dark Belgian chocolate

    In a saucepan melt butter, whisking in cocoa. Stir in 2 c. sugar and 1 (13 oz.) can evaporated milk. Heat over low heat until mixture loses its graininess. Add up to 1 c. more sugar to taste (the more sugar, the thicker the final product will be, unless you add bittersweet chocolate.) Remove from heat and add vanilla…and as an option, 1 tsp. instant coffee or 1 T. flavored liqueur. Serve warm over ice cream. Keep in refrigerator. Keeps well in freezer, too, where it hardens just enough to be able to get a spoon into it, so you can walk around with a chocolate fudge lollipop!

    Enjoy our family recipe, and God bless us, every one!

  229. I love the holiday green wreaths with the red hots! My mom and I made them every year and last night I just made them with my daughter for the first time. I am also in the process of making your red velvet cheesecake cookies, the filling is now in the freezer, can’t wait!! Love your website, it inspires me to want to cook!

  230. My favorite holiday recipe is my new sugar cookie recipe that I found online. I could never get my cookies to keep shape and they would fall apart easily. With the new recipe they look beautiful and they don’t crumble.

  231. being with my children is my favorite christmas recipe, or really anytime recipe. christmas wouldn’t be christmas without my grandmother’s nutmeg logs. they are the bomb. taste just like eggnog. ymmmmmmmmm

  232. My favoritre Christmas recipie is an old sugar cookie recipie we got from friends at church. We sprinkle them with red and green sprinkles and they just scream Christmas!

  233. Double Chocolate Bombe. Dark chocolate mousse, white chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, all coated in chocolate gnache!

  234. Peppermint bark! So easy and delicious! Always a favorite. Although, I’m thinking I might try the Reese’s peanut butter bark I found on Pinterest instead. Yum!

  235. Lane cake is my favorite christmas time recipe. We only make it once a year andthe make three; one forof my brother, myself, and mythe mom. We usually make the filling with an old fashioned grinder that you have to hook onto a stool; this gives it a wonderful texture and as a bonus i always get a beautiful bulging bicep on the arm that i crank it with, lol.

  236. I love the special treat of Creme BrƻlƩe French toast on Christmas morning, partly because it is so yummy and partly because I make it the night before and just bake it the next morning while the coffee is brewing. Makes all who are joining us feel very special too. Merry Christmas!!!

  237. Cutout cookies. The holidays do not seem the same without them. This is a great giveaway and I think you’re right. I think you did hear me scream with excitement šŸ™‚ Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  238. My favorite holiday recipe is when I make gingerbread. Every holiday I teach adults and children how to make gingerbread houses. They cut out, bake, construct and decorate them after I’ve already prepared the dough, giving it plenty of time to rest.

    I have an Artisan stand mixer and every year I say I need to break down and buy myself a larger one. This year I made lots of gingerbread and best of all had the pleasure of sharing the evening of gingerbread house creating with cancer survivors and patients and their children. The greatest gift I could have given were the smiles on every parent, grandparent and child for this special time they spent together.

    This is such a wonderful gift you’re offering. It would definitely come in handy.

    Wishing you a Happy and Healthy Holiday!

  239. My favorite holiday recipe has to be the whipped horseradish sauce that goes with the Christmas prime rib. When I see that, I know that it’s Christmas!

  240. I LOVE to make my great grandmother’s Christmas cookies. I remember helping her, my grandmother and my mother make them every year when I was little. Such wonderful memories!

  241. My favorite is ham and 15-bean soup with sweet cornbread. We make it right after Christmas using the remaining ham (and bone!) from the Christmas dinner. I love it so much I get giddy just thinking about it!

  242. Cherry surprises — a marascino cherry surrounded by a covering of coconut, butter, icing sugar and vanilla — yummy!

  243. I love all the appetizers we fix on Christmas Eve. Sausage Rotel Dip, Pigs in a blanket, spinach artichoke dip, eggnog, and chocolate chip cookies!

  244. My favorite holiday dessert recipe is for candy cane cookies, which are peppermint flavored cookies twisted into the shape of a candy cane. For holiday dinners, we almost always whip up a batch of Alton Brown’s Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

  245. Vanilla Kipfel. These are almond crescent cookies. I’ve made them every year since I was 7. Before food processors were invented. Or shelled nuts were available. Much more work back then

  246. My grandma (who was not Italian, but married to one) made these unassuming Italian sesame seed cookies called Regina cookies. I strive every year to make mine as addicitive as hers were.

  247. Just one? How about an old and a new? Old: Meltaways…a handed down recipe from my European grandmother, evidently it is officially a Rugelach. New: Chocolate Gingerbread Toffee Cake. Oh my, it’s fabulous!

  248. My new favorite recipe..Devil’s food cake mix, 1/2C oil, 2 eggs. bake 6-8min.s, while hot, drop an Andes mint on top, wait a few minutes then spread like frosting. YUM! from Six Sisters, I believe.

  249. My favorite holiday recipe is my great grandma’s fudge! Love teaching my daughter how to make it so the tradition continues.

  250. My favorites are my grandmother’s Date Nut Bars and Suet Pudding. (And I am a grandmother who is 61 years old so these are very old and dear handwritten recipes)

  251. I think my favorite holiday recipe is one I found for crock pot mashed potatoes that allows you to make them ahead and then just warm them up before Christmas dinner. It isn’t sexy, doesn’t dance the disco, but my-oh-my does it save soooo much time with all the holiday cooking and baking!

  252. my mom makes an AMAZING appetizer every Christmas called Jezebel Spread. it’s sweet / hot pepper jelly on top of cream cheese, and it’s ADDICTIVE! as far as cookies go, I don’t really have a “favorite” cookie (really, who can?), but I love the nostalgic feeling and taste that comes with classic cutouts, decorated with various sprinkles and colored sugar. dunk ’em in milk, and feel like you’re 7 again šŸ™‚

  253. My favorite holiday recipe is Gingerbread Trifle. Not only is it a beautiful desert to serve, it’s very delicious!

  254. Hmmm… My favorite recipe. Thats tough! I love making my sisters favorite (green bean bundles), my brothers favorite (chocolate chip pecan pie). My favorite thing to eat? Pumpkin cranberry bread!!!

  255. My favorite holiday recipe is any type of cookie that I can wrap in goodie bags and send home with people to enjoy the day after!! It makes people feel special to be sent home with home made goodies!

  256. My favorite holiday recipe is pumpkin pie. This is the only time of year that I make it because it has such wonderful “fall” flavor. I top the pie with chopped, toasted walnuts mixed with some brown sugar. Adds an extra sweetness and crunch to the pie. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of that and yummm!!! Calories here we come!!! But oh so good….. Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway. It’d be wonderful to win this!

  257. Well, I have to say that my favorite holiday recipe is probably cookies – cranberry oatmeal with white chocolate chips to be more specific. That with a nice cup of coffee.

    Merry Christmas and thanks for the giveaway!!!!

  258. Thank you for your recipe posts; I enjoy getting them each week!

    I think my new favorite Christmas recipe is Chocolate-Covered Cherries Dessert, which tastes like a rich Chocolate Covered Cherry in every spoonful.

    The recipe can be found here: http://linenflowers.com/candies.htm

    Hope you enjoy it, too!

    Merry Christmas!

  259. Oh, I have so very many favorite Christmas recipes!!! But the one MUST have is Hershey’s original fudge recipe. All that stirring is great exercise to justify eating extra šŸ˜€ I’d LOVE that insanely wonderful mixer to make EVERYTHING else!!!! Thanks for such a great blog and Happy Holidays to you šŸ™‚

  260. I made a pumpkin cheesecake at Thanksgiving that was a huge hit. I think I will bake another one for Christmas

  261. So hard to pick just one…but my favorite recipe for the holidays would be divinity! I can’t get enough! Making it this year, I was afraid my older kitchen aid was going to give out……it DID give out the next day, when I was making Stollen…something was grinding šŸ™

    I am so excited for this give away…I’ve dreamed of the new 7 qt for months now, since I first seen it! And my processor is also on its last leg…and I’ve always wanted an emulsion blender!!!

    Sooooo PLEASE draw my name!!! :o)

  264. I love Kentucky butter cake around the holidays. My mom makes it every year and I have been enjoying it for over 20 years now.

  265. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I love making holiday cookies – cut outs, peanut butter blossoms, cranberry shortbread…

  266. I make lots of different breads which we love but usually make a large batch of cinnamon rolls to share with the breads and candy we make. They are always a hit.

  267. Any kind of cookies. I love to make batches and batches of different kinds and bring them in to the office for my co-workers.

  268. My favorite holiday recipe is my snowball recipe. My mom made these every Christmas for my brother Fred. After Fred died (Vietnam) my mom continued to make these cookies every year saying she just had to because they were Fred’s favorite. About 8 years ago my mom was no longer able to bake the way she used to. I decided to make “Fred’s cookies” as part of my holiday baking. Now my mom is gone, it keeps all the wonderful family memories………….my brother, my mom and her holiday baking with me. This week, I am going to make “Fred’s cookies” and kick off my holiday baking. This year, I am going to tweak the recipe a little. Will post back and let you know how it comes out.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!
    Jennie

  269. My favorite holiday recipe is chocolate crinkle cookies. My mom makes them for me every year as part of her holiday cookie tray. They’ve been my favorite cookie for as long as I can remember.

  276. Reese’s Pieces peanut butter mousse pie cups (particularly when making them with friends late at night for a large holiday get-together).

  277. My favorite thing to make (in my Kitchenaid mixer, I must add) are homemade peppermint marshmallows! I don’t even like marshmallows, but they are a big hit with friends and family and look impressive, though they are actually quite easy to make!

They give such a punch to a roll-out cookie that I made a double batch for Chistmas cookies and am rolling them out today! My old stand mixer could barely handle the double batch…so I really NEEEED that new 7-quart mixer!!! Love KitchenAid!

  291. I follow Two Peas and Their Pod on Facebook, Pintrest and email. And, I want every beautiful appliance I see. The stand mixer, the processor and the whisk. Merry Christmas Baby!

  301. My favorite holiday recipe is my grandmother’s Hungarian Kifle. These are a definite labor of love. They take me back to barely being able to see over “Mom Mom’s” kitchen table to learn how to make them. Of course, there is no “recipe”, just some of this and a handful of that and this is what it should feel like…

  302. My grandmothers recipe for Red Velvet Cake! It has a funny frosting made with water and flour that is cooked and added to the sugar and butter.. So good!

  303. Wow… such a hard choice! One thing that I love to make at Christmas is “Caramel Chews”, chow mein noodles, caramels, and peanuts with chocolate on top. šŸ™‚

  304. We have a family sweet roll recipe that we have every Christmas morning. It is the best! My daughter has to leave on Christmas afternoon this year, so she requested that we have the sweet roll on Christmas Eve so that she can have it for 2 days before she leaves.

  305. My favorite holiday recipe is Sticky Toffee Pudding. We only make it once a year – it has a week’s worth of calories.

  306. We bake a gingerbread house with Grams! We also bake cinnamon rolls for our neighbors to enjoy on Christmas morning.

  320. My favorite holiday recipe is pumpkin cake, with cream cheese frosting. I ONLY make it for the holidays, even though sometimes I’ll really crave it other times of the year. Keeping it strictly for the holidays makes it extra special, when it’s really a very simple recipe. =)

  321. My favorite holiday recipe is a Finnish sweet bread called “Pulla” (poo-luh). It’s from my Mom and Dad who loved in Finland for 2 years. It’s possible to make with a hand mixer, but takes FOR.EV.ER!! I’ve only made it twice in the 14 years I’ve been married. My husband loves Pulla and I would love to be able to make it for him more often!

We also love to make toffee-our fav recipe is a slightly modified recipe from Ghirardelli. So many favorites-so hard to choose!

  351. Christmas Slug! It started meant to be a sweet roll wreath, but while it was cooking the ends separated and became more of a horseshoe shape. My then 11 year old came out half awake having just woke up, and announced “That looks like a slug!”. I laughed, covered it in caramel, added some long straw candles for antennae and a new Christmas tradition was born. Our annual Christmas Slug! My daughter turns 21 this year!
