Winter is the time of year to hone your baking skills. After all, there's nothing cozier than cuddling up on the couch with a soft blanket and a tray of warm cookies , fresh from the oven. A mug of spiked hot chocolate sipped in front of the fire does the trick too, and we'd never turn our noses up at a serving of mini pies.
