These light, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are bite-sized and dainty but the almond flavor packs a punch. When I was a kid, my mom made these every Christmas in the shape of Christmas trees, decorated with red and green sprinkles.

The sweetness of the powdered sugar goes perfectly with the tartness of the lemon in these buttery lemon bars. I like to cut them into small squares because though the burst of lemon is refreshing, the bars are very rich.

These are a staple cookie in my household. They are a crowd-pleaser, easy to make and you can use whatever nuts or flavored morsels you have (such as M&M’s, white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips).

This coconut macaroon tart shell would be a great crust for many pies and tarts. It is quick and easy to mix it together and press it into the pans. Fill the tart shells with pudding, fruit or any other filling of your choice.
