Mug Shots: A Holiday Mug Dessert Cookbook
December, one mug at a time. The holidays run on big food — big turkeys, big pies, big productions. But some of the best moments of the season are small ones: a warm gingerbread mug cake after the dishes are done, a cup of peppermint cocoa on the first cold night, a little cheesecake made for exactly one person because the lights were up and that felt like reason enough.
Mug Shots: A Holiday Mug Dessert Cookbook is the holiday companion to Mug Shots — 50 single-serving holiday desserts and drinks, every one mixed in a mug and made in minutes. Holiday mug cakes (gingerbread with lemon glaze, peppermint mocha fudge, figgy pudding), mug cookies, brownies and fudge, pies, puddings and cheesecakes, cocoas and spiced ciders to warm your hands around — and a full chapter of mug gifts: mugs layered with mixes, tied with ribbon and a handwritten tag, ready to carry to somebody's door.
No oven marathons, no sink full of dishes, no leftover cake calling your name in January. Just a mug, a microwave, and the whole December flavor parade — one serving at a time.
