Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies From page 45 Makes 18

Dark Chocolate and Salted Toffee Bark From page 44 Makes 1 large pan (about 36 pieces)

1/3 cup white sugar ½ cup salted butter 1 large egg ½ teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract)

2 cups salted butter 2 cups white sugar 2 cups dark chocolate chips 1 cup chopped toasted nuts (walnuts, pecans or almonds are all great) 1 tsp flaked sea salt such as Maldon Directions: Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter and sugar and place a candy thermometer in the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, remove from heat and pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften and melt. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer, then sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Lightly sprinkle with the salt. Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until completely set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

1 cup all-purpose flour ¾ cup ground almonds ⅓ cup raspberry jam (for filling) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a stand mixer (or using a hand blender), cream together the butter, sugar, egg and extract, scraping down the sides as necessary. The mixture should be pale and fluffy. Stir in the flour and ground almond. Roll into 1 inch balls and place about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes and then quickly indent each center with your thumb. Fill the center with a small spoonful of jam, then bake for another 5-7 minutes or until the cookies are done. They should not be browned at all. Cool on a wire rack.
