Day 15 The Pistachio Macaroon   We haven’t had pistachio as a flavor in a long, long time so I thought I would bring it back in the macaroon.   Here is another gluten free dessert.  It might deceivingly look like a garden variety macaroon but don’t be fooled.  The fine quality pistachio paste we use delivers the flavor!

We had an order for a Buche de Noel today so I thought I would snap a pic and post it:

Don’t forget to order yours!  They consist of chocolate or yellow sponge cake rolled with chocolate mousse and masked with mocha buttercream frosting.  And as you can see from the pic we include plenty of bling!

Day 14 The Hazelnut Linzer  The Return of the King.  This cookie is so good that is has its own entry on our Holiday Menu.  It’s a shortbread drop cookie that contains ground hazelnuts and then rolled in a ball and covered in more hazelnuts and then for good measure baked with raspberry preserves in the center.  And don’t forget the 10x snow on top!  This cookie has it all – the great hazelnut flavor, the great cookie crunch from the nuts, plus the color element from the preserves.
