110913 Lebkuchen
These German Christmas cookies are terrific for the season!! It's best to make this recipe during the holidays as it'll be easier to find all the ingredients. Very nice aroma in the kitchen and the cookies are so very soft, flavorful and just the right amount of sweetness! Pretty easy to make since you throw everything in the food processor! Too bad the recipe only yields ~2doz. I plan on making this recipe again before the year's up.
090113 Chocolate Mint Snadwiches
Plan on using a good amount of powdered sugar when rolling out the dough - it gets very sticky. These cookies are way too sweet, even without the glaze! And, I don't really care for the chocolate cookie (a bit dry). Probably won't repeat the recipe again and too bad I forgot to take a picture for the blog :(. Good thing it wasn't a favorite!!
080413 Coconut-Cream Cheese (Pinwheels)
These cookies are sweet enough without the jelly. The recipe is a bit time consuming...not quite worth the effort. I thought the folding the ends to the middle was just as good as making pinwheels. My cream cheese filling was a little chunky but not too bad. Be generous with the flour when rolling out the dough.

071413 Biscuit Sandwich Cookies
063013 ALmond Spice Cookies
060113 Biscochitos
I didn't have a 4" fleur-de-lis cutter but had a super cute birdie cookie cutter that was perfect! This recipe left a very nice anise and orange aroma in the kitchen. The baking time was longer than the recommended 14 minutes (more like 20min). The orange flavor really comes through leaving a very subtle anise taste....all very pleasant!

042713 Chocolate Pistachio Cookies
This recipe was very challenging...almost as difficult as the Sarah Bernhardt cookies. The chocolate filling did not solidify, even after chilling. Not sure if this was due to the quality of the chocolate..? The pistachio cookie wasn't bad but was a bit chewy. As I was sandwiching the cookies, the filling wouldn't take hold and, therefore, I wasn't able to apply the final chocolate glaze. I was very disappointed with the recipe and results.
