Sugar cookies and coffee cakes are what you&#8217;ll usually find in my home come the holidays, but most families have their own coveted recipes come December. But while you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/stuff\/holiday-recipes-christmas-hanukkah-advice-807\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">figuring out what more complex recipes<\/a> you want to serve come Christmas Day or Hanukkah, chances are that you&#8217;ll have to throw together some other snacks for the days in between. And as in-laws fly in and friends visit, you&#8217;ll want some holiday-esque treats on hand.<\/p>\n<p>Other mothers may slave over getting their Christmas cookies out early or, dare I say, purchase some, but you can look crafty and homemade with this simple recipe. Just take about 20 or so pecans, dunk in a bit of vegetable oil, and lay them out on a cookie sheet. Then sprinkle very lightly with paprika. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for like three minutes &#8212; if that.<\/p>\n<p>People have a tendency to overcook this recipe and you&#8217;ll know because the nuts will turn black. If that happens, start over. Let them stand for a minute or so and then throw into a festive bowl. Guests will take an obligatory bite as you offer, but you&#8217;ll soon find their hands permanently fixed to the bowl. When they ask you where you purchased such fabulous nuts, remind them that you made them.<\/p>\n<p>Now get back to <a href=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/stuff\/holiday-cards-crafts-kids-christmas-867\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">making those holiday cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(photo: Shutterstock)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays are a time of avid snacking.
