December(ish) challenge: baked sweets
December hosts several holidays, including the end of the year. In the northern hemisphere the temperatures drop and the nights are long, and thoughts turn to curling up with a mug of hot chocolate and cake fresh out of the oven. In the southern hemisphere it's picnic season, and cookies are a nice portable addition to any outing. Either way, it's time to bake.
Let's fire up our ovens and show off our own skills! Post a picture, and if you're willing to share the recipe, please post it in the Recipes category and add a link. We'll keep this challenge open through the first week in January.
If you have a suggestion for next month's challenge, please post it in the comments below. Thanks to @Zerotime for suggesting this month's.

I've, too, made some cinnamon rolls.
The recipe is quite simple (and available in German here).
Ingredients:
The Yeast Dough
- 100 ml of Milk
- 40g of butter or margarine
- 250ml of wheat flour
- 1 portion of dry yeast
- 30g of sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 portion of vanillin sugar
- 1 medium-sized egg.
The Filling
- 25g of butter
- 80g of brown sugar
- 2 spoons of cinnamon
What you need to do:
- Heaten the milk and let the butter melt in it.
- Mix the flour and the yeast; add the other ingredients and make a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rise.
- In the meantime: prepare the filling. Melt the butter and mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
- Knead and roll out the dough to a rectangle (much longer than wide).
- Spread first the liquid butter, then the sugar-cinnamon-mix on the dough.
- Roll up the dough sheet firmly from the long side.
- Cut the roll into slices. Put them on the baking sheet and let it rise once more.
- Bake them for approx. 12 - 15 minutes (at around 170° C)
- Enjoy!
