Sweet and oh so cute, these little steamed desserts are anything but old-fashioned.
The sweet-tart cranberry almond compote is tamed by the fluffy richness of the biscuits. For a twist, instead of topping the compote with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, try cr?me fra?che or whipped mascarpone. Toast almonds in a skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan often, for about 5 minutes, while the cranberry mixture is cooking.
Reminiscent of chocolate mint ice cream, this cookie wraps one dough around another for a two-tone look.
Gingerbread overload? There's no such thing! These soft, chewy ginger-spiced thumbprints are filled with a tangy cream cheese icing for the ultimate holiday treat. A sprinkling of chopped crystallized ginger gives the cookies an added festive touch.
