GET A HEAD START ON HOLIDAY BAKING

Prep ahead with these freezer-friendly recipes that will cut your stress in a month’s time

- ATCO BLUE FLAME KITCHEN

It might seem a little early to be running an article on holiday baking, but Christmas is just over a month away!

Here are some freezer-friendly recipes to give you a head start on the holiday season (or a few practice runs to make sure everything is perfect!)

Our rustic Butterscot­ch Cranberry Squares are filled with wholesome goodness like whole cranberrie­s, oats, dates and nuts, making them just as good for Christmas brunch as well as a sweet treat. A drizzle of butterscot­ch topping adds a touch of decadence.

Not to be confused with trendy French macarons, our Chewy Coconut Macaroons are a classic treat. They’re chewy, light and full of coconut flavour.

Our Holiday Macaroons are a slight twist on the classic, using sweetened condensed milk in place of the egg whites and sugar, and cornstarch instead of flour. Candied fruit adds a pop of colour. ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen’s column on healthy eating for busy families runs Wednesdays in the food section.
