Hazelnut Linzer Cookies



Time flies too fast - next week is the last week of senior year, followed by finals, provincials, commencement and prom. Even with all this stuff compiled I'm still procrastinating in the posts (oops)...but I'll try my best to update as much as possible before summer. There are just so many things to make with so little time!

Traditionally, linzer cookies are made with ground almonds to give its nutty aroma and pale colour. However I found some toasted hazelnuts left around in the house, so I "recycled" them for good use. We all know how aromatic these nuts can get (Hazelnut latte from Starbucks anyone?). These nuts proved their "talent" as soon as you take the first bite - like Nutella but the more nutty kind.

Bacon, Swiss and Green Onion Mini Quiches

Taste better than they look

These little quiches actually turned out to be a lot more popular than I thought they would be.
As I only had a day to prepare everything for a full high tea, I sometime take "shortcuts" in preparation.
The fillings can be made a day ahead, and just drop the freshly cut onions and cooked bacon bits inside before you bake.
and mini tart shells - one of the best inventions of mankind.
