Holiday Treats: Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, Dutch Tile Cookies, Chocolate Pudding

The year my son was born, I had no job and no money and was so poor that I gave family and friends cookies and art work for Christmas. (Except for my son who got a few baby toys and clothes, mostly courtesy of my family and friends.) I still remember that Christmas every time I bake cookies, and how incredibly happy I was.

Holiday Treats: Meringue Cookies

Our latest installment in the cookie exchange is another gluten-free (or wheat-free) treat that is nonetheless quite tasty. These chocolate-chip meringue cookies are also very quick to make.

Holiday Treats: Gingerbread Men

Some of my earliest memories involve getting ready for Christmas.

Holiday Treats: Spritz

I'm not sure I can claim any British heritage for these cookies but just like Empire Cookies, Spritz were a staple of Christmas cookies baked by my grandmother and mother.

Holiday Treats: Crème de Menthe Bars

We’ve been informally referring to our holiday cookie recipe exchange as “inappropriate starches,” but the nice thing about this recipe is that it would be, I think, easy to make gluten-free (or at least wheatless).

Holiday Treats: M&M Cookies and Special Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's the next installment in our inappropriate starches thread: two of my favorite holiday cookie recipes.

Holiday treats: Empire Cookies

The second installment of our inappropriate sugars and starches!

Empire Cookies

This is the quintessential Christmas cookie in my family. My very British grandmother made the best I've ever tasted.

Holiday Treats: Chocolate Pecan Pie

The Doux Reviews team is devoted to more than just television and cats. We also love inappropriate starches and sugary treats. And there’s no better time of year to indulge than the holiday season, which kicks off this week in the US with the one-two punch of Thanksukkah (aka Hanukkagiving). In celebration of this special time of year, we offer you the first of our biweekly holiday treat recipes:
