This collection of 15 cozy recipes to make in December is a round-up of recipes to make during the coziest month of the year. Everything from quick dinners to cookies galore to cakes that scream holiday cheer!
Perfect Homemade Hot Chocolate – This hot chocolate is my favorite, decadent hot chocolate. Truly just the way hot chocolate should be made.
Vegetarian Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas – Between all the cookies and sugar, we need dinner. And we need it simple and delicious. I love these enchiladas.
Pasta alla Vodka – Hello! This is my favorite pantry pasta recipe. One single can of tomato paste gives you so much deliciousness with this pasta. It’s a dream!
Berry Crinkle Cookies – December is the month of cookies. And I developed these for Valentine’s Day last year but they’re pretty Christmas-y too because of their pretty color!
Cozy Gingerbread House – This gingerbread house took me exactly 1 week to complete (mainly because I changed my mine on the creative direction). I ended up super proud and loving it!
Alfajores – These cookies are melt-in-your-mouth-delicious. Filled with manjar blanco/dulce de leche and rolled in powdered sugar. So good!
Chewy Masala Chai Snickerdoodles – These are big holiday vibes. They’re chewy, amazingly spiced and a very big crowd pleaser.
Chocolate Cardamom Morning Rolls – Chocolate and cardamom are one of my favorite flavor combos. These morning rolls are fluffy and delicious. The best part: they can prepped the night before and then baked of the morning of!
Tres Leches Cake – Is this necessarily a holiday cake? Absolutely not. It’s appropriate for year around consumption.
Best Caesar Salad – A reminder that the best salad you can consume is a caesar salad. This one is as homemade as it gets. Craggily croutons paired with a delicious anchovy-forward dressing and crisp romaine lettuce.
Pie de Limón Cookie Bars – This is inspired by one of my favorite Peruvian desserts: pie de limon. It has a lovely cookie crust that makes these easy to transport.
Dulce de Leche Cookie Bars – These marbled cheesecake cookie bars are swirled with dulce de leche. They’re super pretty!Â
Pastelitos de Guayaba – Cuban bakery vibes in your kitchen! These pastelitos are filled with sweetened cream cheese and a little slice of guava paste. Super tasty and easy!
Gingerbread Crinkle Cookies – Inspired by all the crinkle cookies of the season but with a gingerbread all up in them! These are soft and chewy, too.
Pozole Verde (Mexican Green Pozole) is my favorite winter soup. It’s bright, delicious!
