Austrian Walnut Torte With Coffee Whipped Cream

This lovely dessert would have been the featured pastry at “Jause” –a lovely old German/Austrian custom of pausing in the afternoon for cake and coffee and conversation. Prep time does not include time for cooling the torte layers.

Milk Chocolate Florentine Cookies (Faster Nestle Version)

These are cookies from Austria with origins in Italy. Great when you want a cookie from around the world. They are crisp and delicate lacy like cookies when put together with chocolate make a sandwich cookie. It is meant to be crisp. Traditional Florentines have fruit in them but these are the chocolate version. This recipe is from Nestle and saves oodles of time by microwaving the chocolate rather than using a double broiler. Enjoy these they are a hit.

Chocolate-Mocha Spritz Cookies

I originally got the recipe from seasoned cooking, however I edited it a lot. Everyone who tries these LOVES them and cannot stop at one or even five!

Raspberry Squares

I love raspberry and almonds together! I adapted this recipe from one I found on America’s Test Kitchen. Toasting the nuts adds great flavor so don’t skip this step. This recipe is easily doubled and would then be made in a 15″ jelly roll pan.
