December 10: Time to Ready the Christmas Cookies and Fruit Cake!

Christmas is all about baking and December is also National Fruitcake Month, so what better time to fix up some gingerbread or bake cookies? People have traditionally traded baked goods every Christmas since the Victorian times. While more people give away fruitcakes than eat them, that traditional holiday treat dates back to the Ancient Egyptians who loved them enough to bury them with their pharaohs in the pyramids.

Whether you wish to stick to traditional frosted cookies or try something more exotic, Dishfolio food bloggers have you covered. Take a look and you will even find varieties on the lowly fruitcake-and may even be willing to partake in eating it. Gingerbread builds houses provide a great snack as well. Looking to hand out cookies to friends, neighbors, and co-workers this year? Find a great new indulgence from these recipes!

Spicy Gingerbread Twigs

The twigs are a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, just like gingerbread should be, but the heat that hits the back of your throat a moment after your swallow is just fantastic. With coffee; phenomenal.

Healthy Chestnut Fruitcake

Healthy chestnut fruitcake that's super thick, dense, chewy and moist, extremely tasty and totally loaded with morsels of fruits and nuts, just like the best fruitcakes of this world. Topped with a gooey high protein coconut glaze, this is a meal in itself, and one that you will never be able to guess is good for you.
