Holiday Shortcuts - Baking Ideas

If you're following along this month, I'm talking about some simple Holiday Shortcuts that I'm making to make things a bit simpler this season.  Didn't get the printable checklist?  Go here to grab one. 

Some baking shortcut ideas?

• Make a list of all the things that you'd "like" to bake
• Decide on your top 3-5 things on that list and bake those things first
• Bake one or two cookies a week and freeze them
• Host/attend a cookie exchange
• Fill in the blanks with easy to make/assemble candy (like 5 minute fudge)
• Get the kids involved - this might not be a shortcut, but it's always a fun activity

Here are a couple of my favorite, must-bake December baked goods...
