I am the first to admit that I’m not someone who bakes a lot. I am pretty great at crostatas (it’s beyond easy) , and I got very addicted to this ricotta strawberry cake (as did many of you). But as for real baking? I’m much more likely to head out to the pastry shop to buy something delicious when it comes to holiday cakes and cookies. I am in eternal awe of people who make cookies like these.
But every so often I do some baking and it’s usually for some occasion when people are coming over. Also, I tend to have a bit more time to spend in the kitchen over the holidays. I’m still hoping that I’ll make some sort of Christmas cookies before, well, Christmas. There’s always hope!
But in the meantime, here are a few holiday cakes and cookies that you might feel like cooking over the next few weeks. None are that complicated and all are ‘wintery’.
And if you don’t feel like baking? You can always buy a panettone or pandoro. That’s what I have planned, whether I bake or not.
Pistacchio Plum Cake Great for brunch or tea time
