Simple Gingersnaps

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 09:52:59 -0500

Chocolate Toffee Squares

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 09:53:27 -0500

These are rich! As much as I prefer to bake non-dairy desserts, do not substitute margarine for the butter, the flavor just isn't the same! -- posted by Mirj

Fri, 09 Aug 2002 00:16:59 -0400

I found this recipe yesterday and had to try it out immediately! It was outstanding, just rich and chocolately enough, goes extremely well with a strong cup of coffee (add some Irish Cream to your coffee for a really heady experience!). -- posted by Mirj

Honey-Cinnamon Cookies

Mon, 09 Sep 2002 19:14:59 -0400

These cookies have a unique and delightful flavour. One of my taste-testers swore she could detect nutmeg in the batter, and declared it the secret ingredient (there is none). These crispy, thin cookies should be stored in an airtight container. Recipe from Krystel at allrecipes.com. -- posted by s'kat

Galaxy Cookies

Sun, 15 Sep 2002 17:31:16 -0400

I got this recipe from my mother and my favorite cookbook, Betty Crocker's Cookbook. These beautiful cookies are always a hit at parties because they look like little bonbons. These cookies are great to make for children, and it's easy to let them help out. -- posted by IAteMyGluestick

Fri, 20 Sep 2002 23:25:39 -0400

Almond Orange Macaroons

Fri, 03 Jan 2003 20:02:57 -0500

These are some of the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted. I like to peel the orange zest with my Microplane zester, which gives me a nice, powdery zest, but you can use a potato peeler and cut strips as well, since it will all get mixed up with the sugar in the food processor. -- posted by Mirj

Apple Oatmeal Cookies

Wed, 08 Jan 2003 20:17:18 -0500

I found this recipe on a search for lemon zest recipes (I had just gotten my Microplane Zester and had fallen in love with it and was zesting lemons and oranges all over the place). The lemon zest doesn't have a starring role in these cookies, but they are pretty yummy, very apple pie-ish. -- posted by Mirj

Fruitcake Cookies

Wed, 08 Jan 2003 20:17:40 -0500

I know a lot of people that are actually scared of fruitcake, but everyone I know adores these cookies. -- posted by Mirj

Chocolate-Orange Marmalade Brownies

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 20:02:43 -0400

Chocolate and orange together -- one of my favorite flavor combinations. I found this recipe after a neighbor gave me a gift of some homemade orange marmalade, way too much for us to have on toast alone. -- posted by Mirj

Basboosa

Wed, 29 Oct 2003 20:02:23 -0500

Basboosa are thin semolina squares covered in a honey and lemon syrup. Very Middle Eastern, this goes great with some sweet Turkish coffee or some mint tea. -- posted by Mirj

Hungarian Nut Slices

Mon, 23 May 2005 14:07:31 -0400

This lovely cake has been made by my mom and her dear friend, Toni, for over 5 decades. It is a lovely layered cake/slice, and presents beautifully on buffets. My mom, born and bread in Poland, and Toni, born and bred in Czechoslovakia, grudgingly admit that those "Hahnkees" (Hungarians) really know how to bake. I think this proves them right. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Healthy Honey Carrot Cookies

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 22:36:29 -0400

As part of the 'Zaar World tour, I was looking for dessert recipes suitable for Rosh Hashanah. The original caome from allrecipes.combut I've made a number of changes to make this moist and tender cookie not only healthier but more tasty. These are so good, you'll love them holiday or no holiday. Kids will especially love them and you'll enjoy sneaking a little veggie into their afternoon snack. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Soft Honey Cookies

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:56:10 -0400

I got this from a cookbook, though I forget which one, after a long search. This recipe makes a wonderful soft cookie, similar to Ostreicher's; perfect for Rosh Hashanah! My KitchenAid only fits 6 cups of flour, so I halve the recipe and use 5 eggs. -- posted by brokenburner

Mandelbrodt...a Type of Biscotti

Fri, 17 Nov 2006 21:10:29 -0500

Have been making these for so many years. My family loves them. The amount of baking powder may seem excessive, but it works. From a very old cookbook. Enjoy.....! -- posted by RenMyr

Shana's Blackout Cookies

Thu, 07 Dec 2006 12:42:55 -0500

This prize-winning recipe was just published in the Chicago Tribune, and was submitted by our friend, Shana Schuman. I haven't tried them yet, but Shana is a great cook in general and I am sure they are delicious. I record them here so that I don't lose the recipe!! Cooking time includes 3 hours of dough-chilling time. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Chocolate Walnut Rugelach

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:22:14 -0500

These are delicious, traditional Jewish crescent shaped pastries or cookies. They are almost like denser, mini chocolate croissants. This recipe really simplifies what can sometimes be a complicated treat to prepare. The recipe is from "The Clueless Baker: Baking from Scratch", by Evelyn Raab. It's a great cookbook for beginning bakers. (For a faster method of rolling the cookies: roll the dough out into a slightly more rectangular shape. Sprinkle with filling, then roll the whole thing up in one piece, starting at one of the long sides. Cut into 1-inch (2 cm) sections and place, seam side down, on an ungreased cookie sheet to bake.) -- posted by blucoat

Light & Flaky Cinnamon Rugelach

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:18:14 -0500

The ingredients might look the same as other recipes, but the technique is unique and the "secret" ingredient won Tina Wasserman's reputation as a baker and is now one of her most sought-after recipes. (Tina is a well-known Dallas cookbook author, chef, food columnist, and cooking instructor.) The mixing technique of the mixer allows the cream cheese and butter to really combine and become light and airy. This results in a flaky, crisp, but tender, finished product. The vigorous beating of the butter and cream cheese before adding the flour creates a light, layered dough similar to puff pastry. Rolling the dough in confectioners' sugar to give a slight glaze to the finished pastry and helps balance the richness of the dough with the sweet filling. Make sure the dough is well chilled or it will not roll out properly. *NOTE: In general, it is not a good idea to use salted butter in baked goods. However, because of the lack of liquid in rugelach dough, salted butter is the only way to get the salt evenly distributed. (The addition of a little salt is important to the flavor.) -- posted by blucoat
