Polish Kolachy Like Grandma’s
This recipe produces the Polish kolachy that grandma made back in the day: cream cheese pastry dough with jam, jelly, or preserves (or maybe nuts) for filling, sprinkled with powdered sugar. It’s thought of as a Christmas cookie, but it’s really more of a two-bite pastry. I’ll show you how to do it.
Sicilian Fig Cookies
Sicilian Fig Cookies are an old-school Christmas tradition at my house. Rolled-out crescents of flaky dough with a rich fig filling. Freeze well. Fantastic recipe.
Simple, Super-Tangy Lemon Bars
Simple, Super-Tangy Lemon Bars. Sounds good, right? What if I told you that the filling uses fresh lemon juice as well as lemon zest, which gives them twice the zing as you usually find the typical version? What if I also told you that they’re fairly simple to make, once you understand how to go about it? If you like lemon bars, you’re going to love this recipe.
Chocolate Birthday Baileys Surprise Cake
Chocolate Birthday Baileys Surprise Cake, is a Dutch-process, hot water chocolate, four-layer cake with an espresso-laced Baileys filling and a triple cream (sour, cheese, whipping) frosting. Buttermilk makes it rich, oil (rather than butter) makes it moist, and dark, dark cocoa gives it its profound flavor.
