What is a holiday, really, without a fancy beverage in hand? This Thanksgiving, treat yourself to the Holiday Negroni, aka a sparkling Negroni-inspired cocktail made with amber rum and sparkling wine. It comes together in just five minutes and is so yummy, it might disappear just as fast. Cheers!

Thanksgiving might look a little different for everyone this year, but that doesn’t mean pie is uninvited to the dessert table. Put this black-bottom sweet potato pudding pie at the top of the list; with a sweet graham cracker crust, layers of homemade chocolate pudding and sweet potato pudding and a fluffy whipped topping, you’ll want to make room for slice after slice of this decadent dessert.

When it comes to cookies, no size is too big. That’s why we went all out on these Giant Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies, which are as big as your hand but just as soft, chewy and flavorful as the original. Full of plump raisins, chewy oats and warm spices, these cookies will delight the oatmeal-raisin cookie lovers of the world but might also turn skeptics into fans. Give these larger-than-life treats a try and enjoy them with a glass of cold milk for the ultimate dessert experience.

When I think of the ideal cinnamon roll, I think of one that is impeccably soft and fluffy, with a slight chew and pull from the glutinous swirls. Every bite is delicately sweet and spiced, buttery and cream cheese-y, warm and ooey-gooey. That’s exactly what these sourdough cinnamon rolls are, and then some — because with the added tang and tenderness from the sourdough starter, they’re a step above traditional cinnamon rolls in all the very best ways.

Let’s put on our cozy flannel, our wool socks and our fuzzy slippers; light a pumpkin candle; whip up a chai latte; and make these Maple Cream Cookies today! Buttery, maple-kissed shortbread cookies are sandwiched with a deliciously smooth maple buttercream for a simple-yet-scrumptious treat that embodies all the goodness of this season.
