This cookie recipe for Linzer Sables require a little effort, but they are so beautiful and tasty. The recipe is from one of my favourite cookbooks, “Baking: From My Home to Yours”, by Dorie Greenspan. For a simpler cookie, omit the cutouts, although it does make beautiful cookies. You can dust these with confectioner’s sugar just before serving. Both dough and cookies freeze well (without the sugar dusting). Dough requires 45 minute chilling time.

These are light and delicious crumbly little cakes that kids just love (grown ups too) comes from a hand written recipe book of my grandmothers that she started during the second world war. Really simple recipe but great result
A trick for making vanilla icing sugar is to place of couple of vanilla bean pods in a jar with icing sugar and a couple of weeks later the icing sugar will be well sented with vanilla.
This is not a simple recipe but it’s worth it! It’s from the cookbook, “Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague” by Rick Rodgers. It is composed of six thin, nut meringue layers made with a mixture of ground hazelnuts and almonds (you can also use just almonds or just hazelnuts). The layers are filled with a kirsch buttercream and the top layer is covered with an apricot glaze and is then covered with a faux fondant icing which is feathered with melted dark chocolate (it looks like a Napolean). You can make this 2 days ahead, cover and refrigerate.
