Are any of you baking special holiday cookies, cakes, or other desserts this year?

I usually make gingerbread or pumpkin bread loaves for friends and neighbors. This year, I’m avoiding those, because one of my friends has a bunch of allergies (or intolerances) to all sorts of things that she wasn’t previously allergic to. She can’t eat any kind of nuts or cinnamon, or bananas, or eggs. My neighbor across the street has a daughter who is allergic to peanuts and cinnamon. I also like to make a chocolate covered nut candy, so that’s probably out too, and no banana bread.

I like making loaf cakes, because they’re easy to make and easy to package, and people seem to enjoy them, but this year, I’m either not going to make them, or try to figure out some other type of loaf bread that doesn’t have any of the banned items. Maybe I’ll find a lemon loaf bread recipe, or maybe I’ll do shortbread (not a loaf and a little more involved, and hard to package so it looks nice, because it’s crumbly, although it tastes marvelous).

What are you guys making?
