Come Christmas, I’m all about the baked goods, all the time. So just in case you’re not sure what you’re going to bake this year, I have a quick little round up from my archives for you.
Bacon Sticky Buns: Because smoky salty bacon goes incredibly well in cinnamon sticky buns.
Mini Swedish Chocolate Cake in a Jar: Perfect for gifting – gooey, chocolatey, good!
Earl Grey Tea Madeleines: For the tea lover in your life.
Coconut Almond Rice Krispie Treats: Grown-up rice krispies for the big kids.
Brown Butter Brownies: Seriously the best brownies I’ve ever made.
Banana Donuts with Nutella Glaze: The holy trinity: bananas, Nutella and sprinkles.
Chai Tea Cupcakes: Tea-scented cupcakes in jars are cute and portable to boot!
Pumpkin Cat Donuts: Calling all cat-lovers!
Mini Palmiers: Tiny crispy-crunchy sugar coated puff pastry cookies.
I’m a little sad that I won’t be baking a ton of cookies this year (the microwave oven in my Tokyo kitchen isn’t up for the job) but I hope you guys are baking up a storm!
If you’re looking for more ideas on what to bake and gift this year, be sure to check out Yahoo! DIY Food for more ideas. I especially like the cookie cutters in this gingerbread post!

I will take one of each, thank you! Seriously, if anyone made any single one of these recipes for me, we would be best friends for life.
