Raspberry Linzer Cookies
In every one of my German travels, D has been by my side. Our first trip was back in 2005 when Munich was a stop on our crazy six-countries-in-two-weeks backpacking tour. Upon arriving in the downtown Hauptbahnof, we took some time to survey the scene and happened up on a little bakery/food court type kiosk where we each grabbed something to eat. D grabbed a Linzer cookie, and it was love at first bite. She was hooked, and every time we go back, she is drawn to that train station bakery like a piranha to a skinny dipping missionary. It’s not only the train station, but she scours bakeries throughout the country, looking for those buttery, jam-filled bites of heaven wherever she can find them, and then hoards them like a chipmunk readying for winter. The last time we were in Munich the Hauptbahnof didn’t have raspberry Linzer cookies, which was weird because they ALWAYS have them, and I thought she might cry. I may be exaggerating, but am I really, D?

Baci Ice Cream
Throughout every Christmas season in our house, a cookie tray had a constant presence on our kitchen counter. Butterballs, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, baklava…and Baci chocolates. And I’m making that into Baci ice cream.
