The holiday season is filled with opportunities to make all kinds of recipes. Winter and baking go hand in hand because there are a lot of baked treats that are naturally associated with the holidays. Gingerbread cookies and pumpkin pies are some that come to mind. Here are a few other recipes that also belong in that category.

Molasses Cookies
Basic gingerbread cookies are amazing and a classic for a reason. Molasses and spices, such as ground cloves and ginger, give it a lot of its defining taste. Therefore, molasses cookies are a perfect alternative if you want to bake something a little more low-maintenance.

Once the dough is chilled, you can place them on a baking sheet and send them to the oven.
