Cookies

Oatmeal and Coconut Raspberry Jam Bars

This is the recipe I often use when there’s a need in a quick and full-proof dessert. All ingredients are always in my (and probably yours too) pantry. It’s an absolute favorite among the children.

Café Volcano Cookies

These cookies are bumpy, and nutty, and ugly, and … so good! Despite a generous amount of nuts, they are as light as feathers. And may be because of this lightness (not to mention-flavor), I can finish a half of… Continue reading →

Sesame Seed Bar Cookies

It can’t be easier than that. You don’t have to roll the dough or shape the cookies. The baked dough is cut into diamonds or squares. The cookies are buttery and almost shortbread like in texture, but with middle-eastern character.

Swiss Chocolate S’s

With just a few ingredients and simple preparation method, in almost no time at all, you can have a delicious accompaniment to your cup of coffee. This recipe is from “Chocolate” by Nick Malgieri.

Chocolate and Vanilla Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies

These cookies are certainly eye catchers. The dough is very forgiving, a pleasure to work with – it makes it perfectly suitable for a “bake together with kids” project. If you like your cookies crisp, bake them a bit longer…. Continue reading →

Cocoa Wafers

These are the cookies I always use for my cheesecake crusts since they are so easy to make and the flavor is nothing comparing to store bought cookies. Crispy throughout, the wafers are also great accompany to a cup of… Continue reading →

Vanilla Pizzelle

These are classic Italian wafers. They are good as is, or shaped into cones or cylinders and filled with a filling of your choice. The pizzelle can be draped over bottom of a glass and used as edible bowls for… Continue reading →

Lemon Poppy Seeds Pretzel Cookies

This is my variation of Nick Malgieri’s recipe for Vanilla Pretzels, from his “Cookies Unlimited”. The cookies are not as hard and crunchy as the most of similar shaped cookies. They even stay cakey and tender in the middle.

Molasses Spice Cookies

The cookies are big, sweet, mildly spiced, crisp, and crunchy but not hard. They go well with anything – milk, coffee or tea. I like to crush them over ice-cream or even yogurt. The cookies are the great keepers, they… Continue reading →

Pineapple Coconut Cookies

These are sooooo good! They are actually among my favorite cookies and I have to admit I’m quite picky… The cookies are easy to prepare but they are the best the day they are baked. This way they are crispy… Continue reading →

Espresso Pretzels

These are fun to make but the shaping process takes some time. Start when you are not in a hurry and enjoy. The pretzels are pretty and delicious.  

Viennese Chocolate Sablés

Recipes from Pierre Hermé guarantee a success. Don’t they? :) These cookies are from his “Chocolate Desserts“. I’ll just quote Dori Greenspan in her precise description of them: “Soft and crumbly, buttery and chocolaty, these are the cookies of old-fashioned… Continue reading →

Butter Twists

These cookies can be a great project to do with your kids. My son loves making wiggling worms from the dough. I help him a bit with the twists.

Pine Nuts, Anise and Lemon Biscotti

I just love them. The texture is a perfection, these biscotti are crunchy but not teeth-breaking hard, and very aromatic. You might be tempted to add more flour to the dough, but don’t do so, or the cookies will be… Continue reading →

Cornmeal Cranberry Cookies

The cornmeal gives these cookies a nice crunch and the cranberries add a pleasant tartness. A word of caution – these cookies are not very sweet, not for a person with a really sweet tooth.

Oatmeal Cookies with Dates, Raisins, and Sunflower Seeds

These cookies are full of healthy nutritious ingredients. Thus they are perfect for packing into the lunch boxes.

Amaretti with Espresso Mascarpone Filling

These cookies make a stylish ending of an Italian-themed dinner. The cookies can be baked in advance as well as the filling. Just be sure to assemble them right before serving. In case you really pressed for time and have… Continue reading →
