Cornmeal Cherry Biscotti

Cornmeal adds crunch to these cherry biscotti.

Hazelnut Apricot Macarons

Hazelnut flour can be used in place of almond flour to make French macarons, creating a still light but slightly more nutty cookie. Apricot jam makes the perfect fruity but not too sweet filling.

Shortbread Sandwiches

The beauty of these cookies is their versatility. Play around: you can fill them with jam, Nutella, peanut butter, or chocolate ganache.

Easy Apricot Jam Bars With Walnuts

This is one of the world's most forgiving desserts, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The streusel acts as a crumbly press-in crust as well as a topping.

"Fluffernutter" Sandwich Cookies

This decadent sandwich cookie takes its inspiration from the New England lunchtime classic, the Fluffernutter (aka a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich).

Spiced Biscoff Sandwich Cookies

Thin, crispy spiced cookies are sandwiched around gingery Biscoff cookie spread.

Lemon Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you've made a mint chocolate chip ice cream before, this recipe follows the same basic procedure. But while mint leaves are usually steeped in the cream for upwards of an hour or two before getting strained out, basil benefits more from a short initial steeping before getting blended into the base. I forgo chocolate chips or drizzling melted chocolate for simply shaving chocolate directly into the ice cream as it's finishing the churn.

Walnut Apricot Bread Recipe | Bread Baking

I wasn't in the mood for sweet, sticky, chunky, nutty rolls. But when I thought about the flavor of walnuts, they seemed like they'd add an interesting flavor component to the loaf without overwhelming it. Rather than adding sugar, I wanted to go with a natural sweetness—that's where the Turkish apricots came in.

Peanut Butter Oat Cookies

Rich, oaty peanut butter cookies perfect for making ice cream sandwiches.

PB&J Sandwich Cookies

There's something about the combination of peanut butter and jelly that I'll never outgrow. In cookie form, it's salty, sweet, and super crunchy—perfect with a glass of milk as an after-school snack. And no, it doesn't matter how long ago you graduated, to paraphrase an old saying: It's after school somewhere.
