Cookie monster.

Behold this year's cookie-making!



First, the classic peanut butter blossom. MMM.

Then, butter cookies laced with cardamom and cinnamon, drizzled with an espresso glaze and melted chocolate. I think I enjoyed this one the most. The espresso was a great match for the spicy cookie.

And on the right, what Gourmet called a pine-nut tassie*, to which I added chopped dates and a little orange zest.

Someday when I have my own little bakery, all of these will make it on the holiday menu.

Until then, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
