MORAVIAN TARTS…warm up to cookies this Fall!
“Seeing is deceiving. It’s eating that’s believing. ” James Thurber MORAVIAN TARTS This is a recipe from ‘The Great Cookie Book’, and was one the first cookie recipes I tried almost 5 years ago. These seem just right for the season, with the warm flavours of cinnamon with walnuts; complement Fall beautifully! Very nice as a gift, and great with tea. You can use pecans too if preferred, which is what the original recipe uses. I believe that Moravian tarts belong to the Pennsylvania Dutch bouquet of recipes. Ingredients:Butter – ½ cupCastor Sugar – 2/3 cupVanilla Essence – 1 tspSalt – 1 large pinchEgg – 1, beatenFlour – 1 cupSoda…

Armenian Nut Cake…with a cookie base!!
And here are pictures of the Armenian Nutmeg Cake. The cake was delicious, though it was a bit small for my 8inch tin. Maybe a smaller tin next time. Also, for some reason I didn’t get the crunchy base, but will definitely try this one again. The nutmeg flavour was awesome, and the cake had a certain ‘warmth‘ to it…great with a cuppa coffee! DH enjoyed it warm and chilled, and the kids loved it warm with a dollop of ice-cream. Here is the recipe from the ‘Esurientes’ Thank you, Niki!!
