Notes
Experiment with different spices and decorations to personalize your Christmas desserts. Store properly to maintain freshness: refrigerate cheesecakes and cream cheese-frosted items, and store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container. Don't be afraid to ask for help and embrace imperfection – the most important thing is to have fun!
