The holiday season is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about baking delicious treats to share with family and friends. One of the best ways to get into the holiday spirit is by baking fun and festive cookies with the kids. Not only is it a great way to spend quality time together, but it also allows them to get creative in the kitchen and hone their baking skills.
When it comes to holiday cookies, there are countless recipes to choose from. Whether you prefer classic sugar cookies, gingerbread men, or peppermint bark cookies, there’s something for everyone. Here are a few fun and festive holiday cookies to bake with the kids this season:
1. Sugar Cookies: Sugar cookies are a classic holiday treat that are perfect for decorating. Let the kids use festive cookie cutters to create fun shapes like snowflakes, Christmas trees, and reindeer. Once the cookies are baked and cooled, set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, and other toppings for the kids to customize their creations.
2. Gingerbread Men: Gingerbread men are a staple of the holiday season and baking them with the kids is a fun tradition to start. Let the kids cut out the dough with gingerbread man-shaped cookie cutters and then decorate them with icing and candies to bring them to life. You can even turn it into a fun activity by having a decorating contest to see who can create the most festive gingerbread man.
3. Peppermint Bark Cookies: These cookies are a delicious combination of chocolate and peppermint that are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Simply bake chocolate cookies and then top them with a layer of peppermint bark before serving. The kids will love helping to crush up the peppermint candies and sprinkle them over the cookies.
No matter which holiday cookies you choose to bake with the kids, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process. Baking together is a great way to create lasting memories and traditions that your family will cherish for years to come.
If you’re looking for inspiration or don’t have the time to bake from scratch, consider visiting a local bakery shop. Many bakery shops offer a variety of holiday cookies and treats that are perfect for sharing with loved ones. Plus, you’ll be supporting a small business in your community.
So, this holiday season, gather the kids in the kitchen, put on some festive music, and start baking some delicious treats together. Whether you bake from scratch or visit a bakery shop, the joy of baking and sharing holiday cookies is sure to bring warmth and cheer to your home.
