Slooowly moving our way to autumn flavours. In this case, that means cranberries, chocolate and pistachios. OK, so maybe those aren’t all that autumny, but they sure are delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian Friends! And on this occasion of Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to make something decidedly Canadian: Butter Tarts! Turns out, they are crazy easy to make. I happen to have little tart pans, but you can also make them in a muffin pan. Light, flaky, crazy buttery (go figure, eh?) and delicious. I can see where these could become part of the regular snack rotation around here!
A few weeks ago, I made these really yummy Vanilla/Chocolate Wafer Disk Cookies In my overly ambitious thought at the time, I was actually going to make these Chocolate/Vanilla (ie the reverse) Wafer Disk Cookies at the time too, but sometimes time gets away from me. Instead, I made them today and they are ever bit as delicious as the mirror image ones!
So this is what happens when you are in the mood for chocolate chip cookies and haven’t got any chocolate chips in the house, but *do* have those chocolate melting wafers … voila! Chocolate chip cookies, just with one giant chocolate ship. Worked out pretty well for a spur of the moment decision. Be forewarned though — these do spread quite a bit so leave plenty of space between the cookies on the baking sheet!
Nope, we did not just fast forward to Christmas. These are *not* Christmas Cookies, though I guess they could be. They are “summer flavored” (with lemon and lingonberries) and while that does look like *snow*, it’s just powdered sugar. It is, after all, still a little too early for Christmas (tell that to the shops though!). At any rate, summertime Linzers, delicious any time of year.
