Every Winter Morning Should Start With One of These Gingerbread Peppermint Donuts

By Rachel Gramuglia at Spoon HQ

One of my favorite parts about the holiday season is the endless recipe testing. But I'm ready to bring a different dessert to the table! Goodbye traditional sugar cookies, hasta la vista fruit cake, and soooo long to that Jello-thingy that has the floating questionable food inside of it! This year I'm bringing my good ol' buddy donuts to the holiday table. And not just any kind of donut—I'm talking gingerbread peppermint donuts, baby!
