Do rum-soaked raisins sound like a wonderful addition to a butter cream filling? Then you simply must give these fabulous concoctions a try. They have a light meringue base for the cookie, and the coffee and rum flavored butter cream are simply marvelous.

Oh la la! These Jelly Donut Madelines are tre chic!

Seriously, they’re like little mini sponge cakes with a delicious raspberry center.

Done right, Macarons have a fabulously chewy texture (at least in my opinion.) All that chewy goodness coupled with a chocolaty ganache is just to die for. But then, if you go and add Nutella to the mix….!!

Ooh, la la! These Palmiers are tre chic!
This is the perfect delicate cookie for a ladies luncheon or tea. If you’ve never tried one before, ~gasp!~ you’ve simply GOT to bake yourself a batch.

I typically don’t like a cookie recipe that calls for pre-mixed dough as one of the ingredients. I’m a “make it from scratch” kinda gal. But I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. I’m a bonafide cookie snob.
I do realize, that the simplicity of using pre-made dough is a staple for some folks [...]

French Madeleines are some of my favorite cookies. I like them because they are almost like little miniture cakes. They have that spongey texture to them.
