Homemade Gift Options for Mom on Mother's Day

Here are the edible gifts we'll be celebrating with on May 13th.
By Published Apr. 26, 2018

No matter how you celebrate it, Mother's Day is a great opportunity to show appreciation for some of the most important women in your life. While we're fans of giving Hallmark cards, flowers, and new kitchen equipment for Mother's Day presents, here at Cook's Country, we also think one of the best ways to show our love is with homemade, edible gifts.

With that in mind, we asked members of the Cook's Country team which recipe they'd like to cook for their moms on Mother's Day this year. Here are their answers.

MORGAN BOLLING'S PICK

New Jersey Crumb Buns

"To serve mom breakfast in bed you can't go wrong with a warm crumb bun alongside a cup of coffee. Plus, the dough can be made the night before and baked fresh in the morning. So mom will get to wake up to a house smelling of cinnamon sugar, even if you're not a morning person." — Morgan Bolling, Senior Editor

Cheese Blintzes with Raspberry Sauce

"Mother's Day in my family always seems to revolve around brunch. Whether eaten before, during, or after the main meal, these lovely little wraps, which are easier to make than you think, will always fit right in." — Alli Berkey, Test Cook
