Linzer Cookies

In December of 1979, Family Circle magazine published an article on White House cookies. There was a German chef at one time who made a variety of German/Austrian cookies. My pages are falling apart, so I thought I better start to record them here! This recipe is similar to others, but has lots more nuts.

Pretzel Knots (Rolls) – Cut Restaurant, Las Vegas

CUT is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant in Las Vegas. Recipe published in Bon Appetit, March 2009. Serve straight from the oven. Update 3/5/09: The original recipe (below) calls for letting the dough rise in the refrigerator. However, it seems that the more effective method is to let the dough rise at room temperature.

Quark Spaetzle

This came from another website and I adapted it for my tastes. It is a great dish to serve along side bratwurst and cabbage salad or any number of other things 🙂 The farmer’s cheese I used is a mild semi-firm cheese (not the cottage cheesey type). You can substitute Gruyere or other similar Swiss type cheese. The spätzle can be made ahead through step 5 (boiling); refrigerate until ready to fry.
