• 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 […]

• Brûléed Lemon Curd Olive Oil Tart

  I can’t believe Chanukah is almost over! Tonight’s night number six. Crazy, isn’t it? Only two more days left until my yearly eat-as-much-fried-food-as-you-want pass is up! I’m spending this weekend in Brooklyn with my extended family and bringing this tart along. So many people think that Chanukah is all about doughnuts and latkes (and don’t get […]

  Happy happy Chanukah! I hope you’re all eating so many latkes. And doughnuts. I’ve already had 4, and it’s mostly thanks to these!

• 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 […]

• Cinnamon Meringue Cookies

  Just in time for the end of Chanukah, I’m posting another holiday cookie recipe, and this is one is special. Growing up in Switzerland, I had these cookies every winter, when they were baked and given out as gifts during Chanukah. I remember being enamored with the taste and texture; they’re chewy, fragrant and spicy, […]

• Speculoos Button Cookies

  Each year during Chanukah, my family bakes sugar cookies. We make the dough, roll it out, shape the cookies with themed cookie cutters, and then decorate them with royal icing and sprinkles. However, this year I wanted to try something a little more sophisticated, and that’s where these speculoos cookies came in. Not only do […]
