These crisp star-shaped cookies, or zimtsterne, are a tradition during the German festive season. Since the dough is sticky, it takes a little more effort than regular rolled cookies, but the results are well worth it

Creamy ricotta gives these lemony cookies a soft, cakey texture. To get the most defined crackled tops, be sure to generously coat the cookies with icing sugar before baking.
Whether runny or firm, with raisins or nuts, butter tarts are treats that never go out of style. Because any sugar filling that overflows the pastry hardens quickly and sticks to the pan, be sure to remove the tarts as directed. Or count on family members to hang around the kitchen waiting to eat the tarts that stick and break.

Celebrate spring (or even April Fool's Day) with fun cupcakes. The lemon curd surrounded by cream cheese icing makes them look like sunnyside- up eggs. How cute!
Eggnog is a rich holiday indulgence, and these cookies live up to the name. Freezing the dough is one way to save time, but you can also bake these treats before freezing. When the occasion for cookies comes along, just thaw them at room temperature then add the icing.
