Personal Peanut Butter Cheesecakes

Dec 3, 2008

Most cheesecakes have a cookie crust. This crust uses nuts so it will especially appeal to those avoiding gluten (but also will be a hit with everyone). It is better to overpulse the nuts slightly so that the crust holds its shape when removed from the pan.

This four-ingredient cookie couldn't be simpler. The vanilla bean gives a lovely hit of flavour without using extract, which is usually not kosher for Passover. The scraped bean pod can be added to a canister of granulated sugar to perfume it for all of your baking.

First Prize in Rolled Cookie Category

Catherine Laframboise of Toronto loves the flavours of maple and walnut together and says they are even better dressed up in this recipe with buttercream and praline. If you can't find maple sugar, substitute 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar and 1 tsp (5 mL) maple extract.

Demerara Sugar Shortbread

Dec 23, 2009

Demerara sugar is less refined than regular sugar, so it gives these cookies a rich, creamy, molasses-like flavour with large grains that remain crunchy after cooking. Look for a dark Demerara-style sugar (such as Mr. Goudas, Lantic or Redpath) with other brown sugars in the baking aisle.

Grapefruit Thyme Shortbread Bars

Grapefruit Thyme Shortbread Bars

Nov 7, 2016 Dessert

Tart grapefruit gives refreshing flavour to these savoury shortbread cookie bars. Gradually add the food colouring to the glaze, alternating between red and orange, until you get a light coral colour. The tint will intensify as the glaze dries, so stop adding food colouring when it's a touch lighter than your desired shade.

Hermit Biscotti

Hermit Biscotti

Nov 22, 2013

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.
