Apple Cakelets with Apricot-Rum Glaze

These are so easy to make and they're very light and fluffy. Apple cubes are added into the batter, baked, then cooled a little topped with warm apricot jam, and a layer of rum glaze. Very easy to eat!

Hazelnut-Milk Chocolate Cookies

There are no eggs in these, so it's sort of like shortbread, but with chunky toasted hazelnuts and chopped milk chocolate. You can't go wrong with that.

Raspberry Walnut Rugelach

This is such a delicious cookie. Cream cheese is in the dough, which makes it so flakey, plus the butter helps too. These cookies can be filled with anything, I decided on raspberry jam, brown sugar with cinnamon and toasted walnuts.

Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Cream and Streusel

This is always a favorite, everyone loves berries mixed in cinnamon, vanilla and sugar. The berries are put over almond cream, made with ground almonds, eggs, sugar and lemon zest, then the berries are covered with streusel. It is served warm with whipped cream and fresh vanilla or blackberry icecream.

Poppyseed Bars with Lemon Glaze






Poppyseed bars are made with a less sweet cake batter essentially, but you save half in the bowl, and first  put the sweet poppyseed cream on top, with the other half of the batter on top of that, then bake the whole thing.. follow me? Then these were glazed with lemon juice mixed with confectioner's sugar. If you're a poppyseed fan you will like these.

NY Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches

These cookies are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and get quite puffy, as opposed to the crispy, gooey version. This cookie is great for Ice cream sandwiches.. which is just what we made, including the ice cream, of course! Perfect snack for those longer days, well perfect snack period.
