    Third place: Decorated Snickerdoodle Sugar Cookies

    Christine Mayer, Evanston, Illinois: These cookies are a buttery, cinnamon-y treat. Every year, I bake decorated sugar cookies for my family for the holidays, and these were a favorite — not only for the great taste, but also because the snow-dusted trees evoke a cozy feeling of holiday cheer.

    Prep time: 2 3/4 hours, plus at least one hour of chilling. Icing can be made the night before.

    Bake time: 10-12
