Holiday baking isn’t just for cookies! Try some of our other favorite desserts; which also make great gifts!

I’m not a huge baker. Mainly because I like to experiment with ingredients and baking doesn’t allow for much error. It’s more precise and most of the time, you have to measure carefully or the recipe won’t come out right.

Recipes like quick breads, fudge, candy truffles, and scones are a great option for novice home cooks. They’re generally simple to make and also don’t have to be as precise as some cookie recipes. Heck, if I can make these so can you!
