Start your mixers and grab your spatulas — holiday baking season is here! It’s the perfect time to make a few batches of your favorite cookie and bar recipes. I believe you should never arrive empty-handed during the holidays; trays and tins filled with homemade cookies and bars are always a welcome gift.
