I make these every year for Christmas and everyone loves them!

Classic pecan pie with the Karo Original recipe, eggs, corn syrup, sugar, and toasted pecans in a flaky crust. Thanksgiving staple with a glossy, gooey filling and crackly top.

Coffee liqueur pecan pie: a glossy classic pecan pie topped with Kahlua-spiked whipped cream. The grown-up holiday pie with a coffee-cocktail flourish.

A great light snack that is perfect for the kids' lunches!

Lemon poppy seed pound cake with buttermilk crumb and fresh lemon zest, finished with tangy lemon glaze. Tender Bundt or loaf for tea and brunch.

Cranberry cake wreath bakes a tart-sweet cranberry and orange batter in a ring mold for a festive holiday centerpiece. Fresh cranberries pop against an orange-scented crumb, with walnuts for crunch.

Just like mom used to make it

Cassis cheesecake with white chocolate folded into the filling, creme de cassis liqueur, and a tangy sour cream topping with almond. A French-inspired cheesecake with subtle blackcurrant and almond notes.

Crispy and a children pleaser. A very quick and easy no-bake recipe that the kids can help make.

Chocolate chip cookies upgraded with wheat germ, walnuts, coconut, and a butter-shortening combo for the chewiest centers and crispiest edges. A loaded everything-cookie that hides nutrition behind chocolate.

Dark Christmas cake is the real, old-fashioned fruitcake: dense with raisins, currants, figs, dates, and almonds, deepened with brown sugar, prune juice, and brandy, then aged in brandy-soaked cheesecloth. Make it now, slice it at Christmas.

Classic Kentucky pecan pie with dark brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and a heap of pecans on top. The Dear Abby reader-favorite recipe from the back of newspapers nationwide.

White chocolate cheesecake with an almond-oatmeal-graham crust, folded with whipped egg whites for an airy, mousse-like texture. Slow-cooled in the oven for a crack-free finish.

Zucchini bread with dark brown sugar and vanilla, baked into two moist loaves. The garden-rescue quickbread that puts late-summer squash to delicious use.

Don't let the name fool you, there is no dirt in it anywhere. I named it this because of how it looked when it was all finished. With that said, I was in a baking mood and decided to combine my 2 favorite cookies together. I have no regrets. My kids said they loved them and this recipe was a keeper.

A basic sweet pie crust perfect for sweet desserts with detailed instructions.
