Rebecca Rather's newest cookbook celebrates the joys of holiday baking, including recipes for cookies, cakes, drinks and gift ideas. Chocolate Cookie Crusted Eggnog Cheesecake, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Brandy Butterscotch Sauce, and Warm Pear Ginger Upside-Down Cake with Amaretto Whipped Cream...

If your cookie repertoire consists of that recipe you saved off the back of a bag of chips, look no further to find cookie salvation. Includes a huge assortment of favorites such as peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chip, along with international cookies, bar cookies, and more.

If you're looking for a different, sensual twist on your baked goods, the Lavender Cookbook has some wonderfully unusual treats: coffee cakes, pound cakes, cookies, breads, scones, and more, that all include dried crushed lavender.

Tired of your cookies all turning out different sizes and baking unevenly? Oxo's solved the problem with this quick, easy to use scoop for perfect cookies every time.

I love this pan for decorative 1/2 cup cakes. Darker batters such as chocolate result in a more dramatic presentation, especially when topped with a light dusting of confectioner's sugar for added contrast. A breeze to clean up!

If you have a tiny kitchen like I do, this space-saving gem from Sweden allows you to stack four cookie sheets vertically, drastically cutting down on limited counter space.

Makes measuring spices a breeze; specially-designed rectangular spoons slide into spice containers to minimize spilled / wasted spices.

I purchased my Cuisinart breadmaker shortly after it was introduced on the market for a great deal ($75). Although some reviewers have had bad units, I use mine for about 2-3 loaves a week, and after one year it still works beautifully. It does bake extra-hot, though, so watch your loaf to keep it from burning. Stay away from quick breads with this...they'll burn!!!
