I recommend making 2-3 kinds to share or for potlucks too. Many store for days and can be made ahead of time. Small batch and bite-sized treats are perfect for this. But you also cannot go wrong with a batch of brownies, homemade pie, fruity desserts, or cake too.
Many are quick & simple for kids & beginning bakers to have sweet success. BONUS: Some are gluten-free, dairy-free, keto/low-carb, or low-sugar healthy but all are fun & yummy.
