Pies, cookies, cobblers, oh my! All the Thanksgiving dessert recipes you need this year
My biggest indulgence during the holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving, has to be dessert.
Every year, my sweet tooth is excited by the array of pies, cookies, brownies and other treats that often line a Thanksgiving dessert table. And I never fail to find room for dessert, even if I’ve had my fair share of turkey and sides.
While the traditional Turkey Day dessert (pie) is well known, the options for tasty post-dinner offerings abound and come in so many different forms. So, don’t be afraid to try something different. You never know what might become your own holiday dessert tradition.
Here are a few we think would be great dessert table adds.
