This holiday season, host a party for kids and let them bake to their heart's delight. They can create edible gifts for their teachers, grandparents and even Santa himself! Our recipes for cookies and other sweet treats, designed especially for young bakers, include rich chocolate truffles and buttery pecan cookies, plus festive gingerbread kids that are lots of fun to decorate. The hardest part? Waiting for the baked treats to emerge from the oven so the kids can sample their yummy creations!
