Lemon Poppyseeds : page 88

They are crunchy but capture the flavor the cake. They disappear quickly.

Lora Brody's Rugelach : page 126

This recipe makes the best rugelach you ever tasted. If you buy the book for this recipe it would be worth it. It makes about 4 dozen and they can be frozen and baked when needed.

Rose's Crescents : page 57

This is one of the Christmas cookies that I make every year. I make two recipes that yield over one hundred cookies. This is a very labor intensive cookie, but they are really worth it. The crescents are very soft and fragile and they melt in your mouth. These sweet buttery morsels disappear in a flash.
