    Published: Dec 19, 2024 · Modified: Dec 19, 2024 by Kate Morgan Jackson · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Delicious treats that are homemade in your very own kitchen make the most thoughtful holiday gifts! From cookies to jam to fudge, this collection of recipes has something for everyone on your holiday list.

    One of the gifts I love to both give and receive are the cookies and candy and other treats that you can make in your very own kitchen. Not only are you giving that special someone something delicious, it’s also coming with the love and care you put into making it.

    So if creating some scrumptious holiday gifts is on your to-do list, we have IDEAS! Including that delectable Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie you see up there. 👆

    Did somebody say COOKIE? 😀

    So let’s start out with the recipe I have been making year in and year out for never-you-mind how many years, and that is these highly addictive, all kinds of festive Rosemary Orange Nuts.

    #1: Buttered Rosemary Orange Nuts

    Easy buttered orange rosemary nuts on a board.

    These looked so good that I made them the same day as seeing them. Mmm! I am in love. ~ Erika

    They take about 10 minutes to put together, and after they cool down you have a pile of sugar coated, rosemary and orange-infused mixed nuts that are the perfect holiday snack. Put them in a pretty mason jar with a ribbon, and if you are feeling extra jolly, give them to your lucky recipient with a bottle of wine. 🍷

    #2: Eggnog Fudge

    I love this fudge, it’s one of my favourites. Everyone that has tasted it loves it too! Thank you for this yummy treat! ~ Irina

    OH, FUDGE. Chocolate fudge is all kinds of wonderful, but this recipe shakes things up by going for a holiday-perfect eggnog flavor, complete with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. Arrange your scrumptious fudge on a holiday plate to make your gift extra special!

    #3: Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

    This recipe is perfect! Every year I make myself crazy trying to make the best treats when the best ones are really the homey ones. ~ Debby

    These cookies are the perfect treat to leave for Santa, because nothing says merry everything like the taste of cinnamon. Pile them onto a Santa plate for extra merriment!

    #4: Banana Jam

    Love this recipe! Easy to make and I ate it on bread with some peanut butter and it was out of this world!  ~ Emma

    Turn those ripe bananas into this creamy, dreamy banana jam. And don’t worry, there is no scary canning involved, it’s just you, your favorite pot and some bananas. We love to gift it in a pretty jar with some coffee banana bread to spread it on.

    #5: Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

    I can’t think of a better gift than a giant chocolate chip cookie! This one bakes up in one giant batch in a skillet...and that is the perfect way to gift it! A cookie in a skillet. Now THAT’S the gift that keeps on giving!
