Payard’s French Chocolate Cookies

decadent, luscious, little bites Francois Payard of New York is known
for. Now you can make them at home.
Chris’ Lithuanian Apricot Filled Cookies
These tender pastry-like cookies are not about the Chris you are
thinking of. These are for Chris Bernotas, tanquero/architect who also
possesses equally extraordinary culinary abilities. These are in tribute
to his rich heritage.
New Year’s Pink Champagne Butter Cookies
Probably the most delightful, most sophisticated little cookie you will
ever munch on or present. A great gift too, with some Mumm’s on the side
for New Year’s up ahead. Try the Cognac Cookie version too.
Chestnut Truffle Brownies
A fudge brownie gets slicked up for the ball. A chocolate truffle taste
and texture, topped with a thick and delectable ganache frosting. No one
eats these; they tend to inhale them.
Sugar Plum Loaves
Tchaikovsky would have approved. A sweet bread that goes down like
Danish, fresh or toasted. Good hosting fare. Finished off with a slick
of orange cream cheese frosting and chopped pistachios. Cue those
dancing feet.
Snow Queen’s Coconut Macaroons
Bad ones give the whole macaroon family a bad name. These are to swoon
for.
Best Scottish Shortbread
Walkers, move over. Scottish grandmothers, beware. The trick is a
perfect recipe, better butter, pulverized sugar, and a slow oven.
Buttery, crumbly, long lasting, better-as-they-age, old-fashioned
shortbread. See our Brown Sugar Shortbread and Nutty Shortbread Sandwich
variations.
Linzortorte Biscotti
A little Holiday spice in your favorite form: biscotti. A ribbon of
raspberry jam graces this spice and nut cookie.
Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Cookies
Rich chocolate shortbread, slathered with a Bailey’s Irish Cream
fondant. Cookies that say, ‘bottom’s up’.
Candied Fruitcake From Siena

than a cake. Imported versions are found in Italian food stores but you
can make one at a fraction of the cost and with the freshest spices and
nuts available.
