Baking and sharing favorite cookies, cakes or baked treats is a most appreciated and thoughtful holiday gift. There is something very rewarding about spending time in the kitchen making traditional or unique recipes and then sharing them when loved ones come to visit.
But really, how can you possibly find the time, especially during this very busy season?
By planning. With just a little forethought, you can get your head around exactly what you want to accomplish and then enjoy the process as well as the joy of the season. I’ve created a holiday baking and gift-giving planner to make it easy for you.

Getting a handle on Holiday Baking
This baking planner includes a gift-giving list. Begin by writing down those people or families that would really enjoy your delicious treats. Use the bookmarks in your cookbooks and magazines for quick reference. With your recipes chosen, prepare a shopping list. Then, schedule baking days on the December calendar page.
Even though the month can be hectic, with clear ideas as to what you will bake, how much and who for, you will save much time and be more productive. More than likely, you will be making big batches. Use the helpful baking cheat sheet for doubling a recipe.

Handmade gifts are the best kind, particularly when they’re edible. They’re so much more personal, and no one can resist a homemade treat from your oven, especially when these gourmet goodies are prettily packaged.
Entertaining
A large part of Christmas fun is getting together with family and friends. Plan a cookie exchange with neighbors for both an evening of conversation with the added bonus of sharing fabulous cookie treats and collecting new recipes.
Use the Cookie Exchange Invitations to send to your guests and include a recipe card for them to fill out and bring to the party.
