Serve this festive, warming punch to welcome guests in from the cold or along with dessert at the end of a holiday feast.

Two warnings about these cookies: Don’t give them to young children before bedtime and don’t leave them lying around, if you want any left for yourself. These cookies are crisp on the edges and have a chewy middle strewn with pockets of soft chocolate. The espresso powder, as Kelsey (The Naptime Chef) noted, amplifies the chocolate, but not the sweetness, making it a grown-up cookie. When making any cookies, make sure to cream the butter really well—this aerates the cookies and integrates the sugar—but be conservative with your mixing once the dry ingredients are added.

Classic orange Suzette sauce is great for crepes, regular pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Maple syrup can sit this one out.

Mint julep + bubbly? This cocktail recipe combines the two delicious classics and is the ultimate way to celebrate.

Skip the $$$ vintage bubbly for this spritz recipe. Go with an affordable Champagne, cava, Prosecco, or other dry sparkler.

This rich gravy gives a boost of extra flavor to vegetable broth thanks to an earthy thyme-garlic oil and umani-rich cremni mushrooms. Spoon it over #Vegducken, stuffing, or use it as a base for your next veggie pot pie.

Earthy, nutrient-rich whole grain flours add personality to this breakfast- or dessert-ready banana loaf.
