Cookies. Cookies are usually pretty easy to make, and they come in all kinds of yummy flavors. Whether you want something simple like plain sugar cookies, decadent like double chocolate chip cookies, or festive like gingerbread men, there’s sure to be a cookie recipe out there that’s perfect for you.

Cakes and cupcakes. Cakes are the most popularly served dessert at parties for a reason! They can serve lots of people, they come in tons of different flavors, and they allow you to get creative with frosting colors and decorations. Cupcakes are also a delicious option, and they’re a bit easier to serve since you won’t need to worry about cutting slices to dole out to guests.

Pies. Pie is a delicious and versatile food. You could make something fruity like cherry pie, zesty like key lime pie, chocolate-y like French silk pie, or festive like pumpkin pie—the options are endless! You can even bake a chicken pot pie if you’re looking for a savory option for dinner.

Breads. Store-bought breads can be yummy, but they just don’t compare to a freshly baked loaf of bread straight from the oven. You can eat a piece on its own with some butter or jam, top a slice with scrambled eggs and freshly sliced avocado, or use two slices to make a delicious sandwich.
