Literally the NYT Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is from The New York Times. It's the best chocolate chip cookie recipe that I've ever found and I thought you should have it. You MUST follow the step about resting the dough. It's the real secret to the crisp perfect outside and the doughy/chewy/creamy interior.
Bourbon Cider Both Ways
This cocktail is fantastically versatile, perfect hot or cold. If you can master this guy you can use it a bunch of times during holiday season no matter the weather.

Gooey Caramel & Granny Smith Pie
IDK about your family but in mine, our Jewish stomachs make it so that every other person has a different dietary restriction. We usually have a dairy-free thing for this person, a gluten-free thing for that person, and a vegetarian thing for the person in the corner… but this year I decided I was going to find ONE PIE delicious enough for all. And I have to say, it turned out even better than I had hoped for. I brought it to a friend's house (see: car floor pie) for a taste test and they had no idea it was both gluten AND dairy free. I’ll take the win. So here she is just in time for your Thanksgiving celebration, a GOOEY CARAMEL & GRANNY SMITH PIE to satisfy everyone.
Crazy Sexy Cool Chickpea Soup
This soup has a lot of ingredients but it’s easy to make and you’re going to like it when it's done, promise. You'll need to make a major decision as soon as the vegetables are fork tender... to dirty your blender or not to dirty your blender. I prefer a creamier texture so I blend half of the soup into a puree and then add it back into the pot but you certainly don't have to do that. This soup can be vegan if you're on a health kick (or just vegan...), just simply leave out the cream.
