Below we are diving into some sweet (and salty) foodie favorites that our families love this time of year.

Gingerbread Whoopie Pies

Not a cake, not a pie, yet somehow the best of both? These Gingerbread Whoopie Pies are a favorite at our Creative Director Clara's house during the holidays! Plenty of icing and just enough ginger make this recipe fun for the whole family.

Swedish Spritz Cookies

These bite-sized, almond classics remind our Marketing Manager Maura of her grandmother! Her favorite part? Using the cookie press to create whimsical shapes for the most festive season of the year!

Old-Fashioned Gingerbread Cookies

It simply isn't the holidays without a real Christmas tree and Gingerbread in Ashley, our Customer Experience Manager's, house. These perfectly spiced cookies are a favorite from everybody's favorite TV icon Ina Garten! 

 

No matter how you choose to celebrate with sweet treats this holiday season, we hope you enjoy time with your family and friends! Happy Holidays from Team PK!
