These easy Holiday Tea Cakes are my new favorite winter cookie, one because they’re delicious, and two because they call for only a handful of ingredients. Plus, they’re ready in about 30 minutes! If you’re looking to get your kids involved with this year’s holiday baking, this is the recipe to make!

I personally love the walnuts in this recipe, but they can be easily swapped for pecans or any other nut you prefer. If you have nut allergy concerns, pretzels are a great replacement. Happy baking!
