Easy
Holiday Treats
Winter invites us to move more slowly and find comfort in simple, intentional rituals. This collection of winter sweet treats features easy, seasonal recipes like chocolate macaroons, solstice shortbread, and candied orange peels. These are recipes for quiet afternoons, warm ovens, and moments of presence. Each treat invited you to start your own simpler holiday traditions and embrace the softer pace of the season.
These chocolate covered orange peels are one of my favorite winter rituals. They feel old-world and cozy, yet modern and elevated, perfect for gifting, nibbling with tea, or setting out with a cocktail when friends stop by.
There’s something deeply grounding about baking in winter, especially easy, no stress recipes. What I loved most about this Vanillekipferl Recipe wasn’t just the cookies themselves, it was making the homemade Vanilla Sugar. You can find the recipes here.
There’s something deeply comforting about a simple cookie recipe, especially one that delivers big flavor with very little effort. These sweet, chewy chocolate coconut macaroons are a classic for a reason. With just six basic ingredients, they come together quickly and feel both nostalgic and a little indulgent.
The Winter Solstice always invites me to slow down and honor the quietest turning point of the year. It’s the longest night, a pause, before the light begins to return. This year, I marked the solstice by baking a delicious spiced shortbread. You can find the recipe here.
