Chewy Fruitcake Blondies

These blondies have all the flavour of fruitcake, but they take just a fraction of the time to make. Soaking the fruit and nuts in rum gives them a subtle boozy flavour without the need to soak the finished product in spirits for a month.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Crunch Cookies

A crunchy chocolate topping adds a whole new level of deliciousness to the winning combo of chocolate and peanut butter.

Chocolate Raspberry Sandwich Cookies

If the cookie dough becomes too soft to roll out, just pop it back in the fridge for a couple of minutes.

Chocolate Cherry Rugalach

Chewy, crunchy and sticky—these fruity, chocolaty bites have it all! A mix of jam and dried fruit in the filling delivers maximum cherry flavour without being overly sweet.

Milk Chocolate Almond Sandwiches

Crisp, delicate sandwich cookies are elegant standouts on any plate of dainties. To make the preparation even easier, drizzle chocolate over single wafers, then top each with an almond.

Apricot Sesame Thumbprints

Sesame seeds add the perfect amount of savouriness to these otherwise sweet cookies. For a pretty finish, use your fingers to pinch together any cracks in the dough after you've formed the thumbprints.

Creamy Carrot Cake Cookies

These cakey cookies surround the most delicious cinnamon cream cheese icing. Both the dough and the icing can be made ahead, which allows the cinnamon flavour to get stronger. Let the icing come to room temperature before spreading or piping it.

No-Bake Pink Lemonade Cheesecake Squares

Junior chefs will love this delectable treat because they can make it on their own (though an adult should lend a hand when cooking the raspberry purée). Everyone will delight in the summery taste and silky smooth texture of the filling. The key to beautiful, even swirls is to patiently spoon alternating dollops of the lemon and raspberry batters over the crust.
