It’s the final countdown to Christmas and nothing says the holidays quite like a a box of homemade goodies. It’s always hectic leading up to the big day and so I’ve compiled a few recipes for easy holiday treats that can either be prepped or made in advance. They are great wrapped up and snuggled into a tin as a gift (FYI this is what I made for my Food52 Holiday Swap!) or mini desserts for gatherings! I’ll be posting the recipes one by one throughout the week, in the meantime read on to see exactly what I made and the details for the first recipe!

It’s cookie season right now, which means smells of chocolate and peppermint or green and red sprinkles should be filling the kitchen counters. Instead, I decided to make the most spring inspired cookie in the book. Maybe my head skipped Christmas and I fast forwarded to Easter. These purple dotted shortbread took me to warmer days and sunny skies, where the smell of grass is fresh and pastel hued flowers have just started to bloom.
