Easy Summer Cookie- Lime Meltaways


The recipe for these delicious lime meltaways is from   "Martha Stewart's Cookies." and you need to try it...they are so easy to made and so delicious that you will not be able to eat just one!

This recipe makes about 3 dozen  

Ingredients

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Finely grated zest of 2 limes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions

Put butter and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add lime zest and juice and vanilla, and mix until fluffy.

Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Add to butter mixture, and mix on low speed until just combined.

Divide dough in half. Place each half on an 8-by-12-inch sheet of parchment paper. Roll in parchment to form a log 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log. Refrigerate logs until cold and firm, at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove parchment from logs; cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space rounds 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies until barely golden, about 13 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. While still warm, toss cookies with remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a resealable plastic bag. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

Vanilla Brioche Bread Pudding with Peach Suzette Sauce


This a recipe I just tried from the "Worst Cook in America" and is Super Simple...SUPER Delicious

Ingredients

Bread Pudding:

  • 4 cups brioche, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • 2 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped

Peach Sauce:

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh peaches
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, plus 2 tablespoons water, to thicken, if needed

Rum Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum

Garnish:

  • Creme fraiche
  • Fresh mint

Directions

For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Greasea baking dish with butter. Add the cubed bread.

In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter.

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, raisins, condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla and whisk together. Add the eggs and whisk again until thoroughly combined.

Pour the custard over the bread and allow to soak for a few minutes. Press the bread into the liquid to help absorb.

Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon and chopped pecans and bake in the oven until the custard is set, about 30 minutes. Stick a paring knife into the center of the pudding. If it comes out with liquid stuck to the knife, cook for a few minutes more until firm. Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow to cool a bit.

For the peach sauce: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the peaches, sugar, and liqueur and stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer until the mixture begins to thicken and darken, about 2 minutes. Stir while cooking to avoid burning. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow to heat through and thicken, about 2 minutes. If the sauce needs additional thickening, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir some into the sauce. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

For the rum sauce: Heat a small, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the sugar. Stir and cook until the sugar is melted. Remove from the heat and add the orange liqueur and dark rum. Return to the heat and simmer for 1 minute, and then flambe, if desired, or just let the alcohol burn off.

To plate: Using a ring cutter, cut out rounds of bread pudding and plate in a shallow bowl. Pour the peach sauce over top, and then the rum sauce. Garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a small sprig fresh mint

Try it...you will love it toooo!
Cheers,Jackie :)
