Cream Cheese Fudge

This recipe has been passed down through the generations in my family and is a holiday classic! I always make this fudge (and cholocate chip cookies) to give as Christmas gifts. ~ Emma

My mother, aka Oma, made this recipe as well as Apple Pie over the holidays when I was growing up. The smell of the apple and the cinnamon in the oven makes me think of my childhood and happy times. Best of all, this is an easy recipe that most everyone will like, especially with some nice Gifford’s Vanilla Ice Cream on top. ~ Nancy

Apricot Bars

This is my favorite because we’ve been making them since I was a child, and taste-wise it’s got an unexpected tangy kick that is just so delicious. The coconut can be skipped if folks are not into it. ~ Kat

Vanilla-Orange Cranberry Cookies

These cookies are yummy and so easy to make. They are great with a hot cup of tea on a cold winter day. — Dianne (from King Arthur Flour)

Oreo Cookie Balls

These are kind of a holiday tradition for my family. Each year my mom makes them and brings them to many of our family gatherings. She makes them with both chocolate and golden cookies with white or milk chocolate but may favorite is the plain gooey center! — Emma (from AllRecipes.com)

Santa Hat Peanut Butter Cookies

If you’re looking to get in the holiday spirit, these Santa hat cookies are the perfect place to start. We have made these treats part of our family holiday tradition and I like them because they don’t have too much chocolate and the peanut butter and protein will fill you up (especially if you eat a lot of them). The protein will also give you energy for a workout or to clean up after your guests or do a little late-night wrapping. — Greg
