Creamy Butter-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls [17]

We can't resist a good sticky roll -- especially one this easy to make. Starting with frozen bread dough, we added brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and chocolate chips. When you turn it out, it makes its own gooey topping.

Snowballs and Nutjammers [49]

The Cole family of Wadsworth, Ohio, bakes these each year for friends and family. The tradition started more than 50 years ago when Phrania (Fran) Cole and her sister, Ann, began making cookies as affordable gifts. The Coles like the Snowballs' tang of black walnut and the snowy, powdered-sugar coating. You can choose from two fillings when you bake the tiny, turnoverlike Nutjammers.

Pear Clafouti [54]

This puffy French dessert features a batter poured over the fruit. It puffs as it bakes and falls as it cools. At the Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn, Michigan, the pastry chef uses hazelnut flour in the recipe. We substituted easy-to-find all-purpose flour.

Kolackys [70]

Kolackys (also spelled kolaches or kolaces) are a central European pastry with a sweet center. "These cookies are time-consuming, but so worth it," says the Ohio reader who contributed the recipe.
