Raspberry Bars are comfort food to me… the soft crumble raspberry mouthfuls remind me that classics are classics for a reason!
Crème fraîche
Crème fraîche is a soured cream. It is soured with bacterial culture, but is less sour than U.S.-style sour cream, and has a lower viscosity and a higher fat content.

Ray of Sunshine’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chocoflan
Who doesn’t love pb & chocolate… the end result of this dessert delicious and show-stoppingly gorgeous. The cake is rich and dense, almost like a brownie. The flan is as decadent and satisfying as that aged wine; a perfect complement to the chocolatey cake.

This is my mom’s famous almond stuffed pound cake and my Aunt Judy’s absolute favorite dessert in the entire world.
Lemon Poppyseed Cookies
I love ice-box cookies because you can make the dough one night and bake them the next. However, these cookies can be baked immediately after step 4. Take a teaspoon of the dough, roll it into a ball and then flatten it with a glass dipped in flour.

These cookies were a surprise that happened when Mommy and Aunt Judy experimented. The almonds were just supposed to be a decoration, but when the cookies came out of the oven, they were the spitting image of sand dollars!

I think they are my favorite cookies that I make. They are to die for! Don’t eat them too late, the espresso will keep you up. This cookie dough is like brownie batter. Drop heaping mounds. The parchment paper is a must or these will stick.
Hazelnut Peach Thumbprint Cookies
Hazelnut and peach is a combination not used often enough in my opinion!
Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies
A fun twist on the traditional Linzer tart, this cookie is easy and yummy.
