Ooh La La!

Claudine does it yet again. She presents a French classic in such a stylish manner (and plate)! Her "French Macaroons" (left photo) look so tempting and scrumptious, with the recipe coming from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook (right photo). Not to be confused with American Coconut Macaroons, these French treats are crispy on the outside, light and airy inside, due to the luscious Swiss Meringue Buttercream! Bon apetit!

Tender, Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Elaine continues the Chocolate Chip brigade with these Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies from Martha's Cookies book (page 198). They look so tender and delicious - and beautifully presented. All that's needed is a big glass of ice cold milk! Who could resist?

Citrus Cookies

Mike bakes up a batch of Lemon-glazed Candied Orange cookies - a modification from the June issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine's "Cookie of the Month". In place of candied ginger, as the recipe calls for, he substituted candied orange peels that were on hand. The best part (and most fun) was the drizzling of the icing!
