Almond and Raspberry Linzer Cookies
i love love. i love the warmth of it, the way it wraps you in its sun; how it could be raining, it could be snowing, but that sun will keep you warm, and radiating with enough heat to warm everyone near you. i love the feel of it: thrilling, electric, a shock current, and…

Gingerbread Snowflakes
I said I was a cookie masochist, didn’t I? And it’s true. While browsing through Sur La Table the other day, I saw this snowflake cutter and suddenly, visions of crisp, snappy gingerbread cookies, intricately iced in winter white and dressed up with gleaming sprinkles filled my mind. It didn’t matter that I’d only just…

Candied Grapefruit Shortbread
Lately, I feel I have gotten too complacent in the kitchen. I am too used to old routines, too comfortable. It’s time to shake things up. To do something I am unused to. I want something of a challenge, so I decide to make something I usually stay from: cookies. Cookies bother me because they…

Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches with Cacao Nib Cookies
It’s 90 degrees out. The AC is broken. The afternoon is long and hot. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Ice cream to the rescue! Ice cream is my summer vice and I’m not sorry about it. In fact, the only time I am sorry about ice cream is when I leave it out too…

Chocolate & Walnut Meringue Cookies
These cookies are my Bubby’s. They are her specialty, her legacy. No family gathering is complete without them, and special occasions are marked by the presence of these, tangible signs of her love. At family events, my cousins and I gather around a tray of these cookies and chat about life while snacking on them…

The Great Cookie Off
There comes a time when you must make a sacrifice. A sacrifice involving more than 2 pounds of chocolate, 2 pounds of butter, and sadly, all hopes of a bikini body. For what, exactly, are we sacrificing all this? For COOKIES. For the best cookies. Because it’s time to get serious up in here! There will…

Six Impossible Things
I spent the end of this week sick in bed, unable to get anything done besides for empty a box of tissues, drink chicken soup, and watch Netflix. I’d always secretly wanted to spend a day doing absolutely nothing, but it got old fast, and I can’t wait to feel better and be productive again.…

Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Shortbread
Pistachios have always intrigued me, perhaps because of their color. With rust-colored, purplish skins and a bright green, almost yellow shade, they are as beautiful as they are tasty. The bright flecks of green that they add to these cookies are one of the things I love about this recipe. With the addition of these…

Hazelnut Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches
Shavuos is basically the ultimate holiday. There are flowers, traditions to eat dairy that result in copious amounts of cheesecake, long, relaxed meals and beautiful weather to accompany it all. This year, as always, I was in charge of making dessert. I tried to think beyond the usual cheesecake (though that will definitely make an appearance)…

Strawberry Jam Hamantaschen
Hamantaschen are one of my favorite parts of Purim, second only to dressing up. Each year, I practically consume my weight’s worth of these cookies and although I’ll eat pretty much any type, my favorite is strawberry jam. This year, for the first time, I made my own to give to friends. I added vanilla…
