With three layers of lemon, this citrus-infused cake is simple, sweet and oh-so stunning.
Crispy cookies studded with crunchy pistachios are decorated with a sweet lemon drizzle. To speed up preparation, purchase shelled pistachios at bulk-food stores or ask the family to help hull them.
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
Make your own gold medal–winning curling stones by sandwiching a cool, minty filling between two soft, cakey, chocolaty cookies and topping them with a gummy handle. If the coating chocolate is a little too thick to spread, stir in a few drops of vegetable oil to thin it.
Hermit lovers will get a kick out of this super-crunchy version of the classic holiday cookie. Dried fruit can get rock hard if it sits on the shelf too long (say, more than six months), so use fresh, plump dried fruit for the chewiest texture in these biscotti.
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.
Step aside, store-bought buns — here are the finest homemade hamburger buns you'll ever taste.
Thyme adds incredible depth of flavour to all sorts of dishes. Here, it's a fragrant partner to sharp Cheddar in the middle and on top of a delicious loaf.
