cookies and bars

These little tart-shaped cookies start with a buttery brown sugar base, and are topped with a disk of caramel and nuts before getting a light sprinkle of flaky salt. They’re a tiny morsel with big salty-sweet flavor.

Salted Caramel Cookie Bites

(159 grams) brown sugar firmly packed

(113 grams) unsalted butter

salt

vanilla extract

baking powder

(181 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

(43 grams) chopped toasted macadamia nuts or smoked almonds

kosher salt

While they look unassuming, these ultra-tender cookies are superbly flavorful. Appearing here courtesy of YouTube pastry chef star Claire Saffitz and her first cookbook, Dessert Person, Claire notes the cookies feature “two of the best nuggets of baking knowledge” she’s ever acquired: making the dough with sieved hard-boiled egg yolk and “toasted” flour. These two unusual ingredients yield a cookie that’s absolutely irresistible.

Thrice-Baked Rye Cookies

(133 grams) medium rye flour

(30 egg

unsalted butter

(149 grams) granulated sugar

Demerara sugar

These sparkly sandwich cookies look like little snowballs, with a bright red ribbon of raspberry filling in the middle.

Shimmer Cookies with Raspberry Filling

confectioners' sugar

Fiori di Sicilia optional

(240 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

sugar

(170 grams) confectioners' sugar

(15 grams) lightly crushed freeze-dried raspberries

(71 grams) unsalted butter

milk

This lightly spiced dough is a dream to work with. It rolls beautifully, holds its shape when baked and, best of all, tastes much more delicious than an ordinary sugar cookie, thanks to a hint of ginger and nutmeg. This dough also makes delightful Stained Glass Cookies (see "tips," below).

Cream Cheese Roll-Out Cookies

(298 grams) granulated sugar

half an 8-ounce package (113 grams) cream cheese softened

King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract

grams) milk

Crisp, light, and flaky, with a swirl of raspberry inside, these miniature slice-and-bake cookies deliver a lot of visual appeal for very little effort. For even more raspberry flavor and a standout visual effect, dip them in the accompanying raspberry glaze.
