This french toast soaks in a vanilla bath and then is drenched in crystals of sugar for an indulgent breakfast treat that is almost sinful and worth every bite.

For most of us, the kitchen is the heart of our home. And a Fratelli Onofri oven is the haute-est spot in the house. Started by two Italian Brothers in the 1950s, the company designs an impressive range of semi-professional cookers that mix modern function and technology with opulent beauty.

At the top of our list this year is 1 Cookie, 6 Ways. Making busy housewives look like they’ve got it all under control during the holidays.

Start with a basic sugar cookie. Using a mixer, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, a pinch of salt and 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Add 2 egg yolks, one at a time, and mix until creamy. Gradually add 2 1/4 cups flour and mix until a smooth dough comes together. Then, add different flavors to the dough to create tasty twists using one of the variations below. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill at least an hour or up to overnight. Preheat oven to 325F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Lightly sprinkle work surface and dough with powdered sugar to keep it from sticking to the counter or rolling pin. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch and cut out cookies using a 2-inch circle cutter. Place cookies on sheets and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until set but still pale in color.

To top off a full Thanksgiving feast are yummy bite-size tidbits of the traditional desserts – Mini Pecan Pies, Apple Pie Cookies, Pumpkin Chocolate Chippers and a Turkey Cake Pop garnish.

To make the Turkeys, make the cake balls from a box of cake mix and can of frosting (bake and crumble, mix and roll). Coat in melted chocolate then decorate with caramel candy corn feathers, an espresso or jelly bean head, orange candy-coated chip nose, red heart-shaped sprinkle wattle and two pretzel stick legs. Use a food pen to dot a couple eyes and write the names of your guests to serve as a festive edible place setting.
