Preheat Those Ovens: It’s Our Holiday Half-Dozen Cookie Challenge


Introducing the Holiday Half-Dozen

This holiday season we’re introducing a new kind of challenge. Instead of focusing on a single recipe all month, we’re unveiling a new cookie recipe each week until the end of the year. That means six new recipes to fill your cookie platters.

Every Friday, we’ll be unveiling the next recipe in our Holiday Half-Dozen lineup. You can stay tuned here for updates or check out the reveals in our Bakeable Facebook group and email newsletter.

Our final recipe for the Holiday Half-Dozen is right on time for Kwanzaa. This week, we’re baking Benne Seed Wafers drizzled with dark chocolate. These cookies are made with sesame seeds and are nutty and delicious. A perfect finale for our challenge!

How to Participate

  • Bake up these benne seed cookies: We know you’ve been baking all holiday season! Show off these benne seed wafers, the last addition to our holiday cookie tray.
  • Share photos of your creations: You can share pics on the Bakeable Facebook group or on Instagram (use #bakeable). We’d love to see what you’re baking!
  • Ask questions: If you need help or a few baking tips, talk with our Taste of Home baking pros or others taking the challenge. They’re ready to answer all your questions in our Facebook group.

Stay Tuned!

We’ll reveal a new recipe every Friday. By the end of the baking season, you’ll have a full (and delicious) cookie platter to share.
