Marietta's Butterscotch Bourbon Biscotti
These biscotti are not too sweet and easy to make. You do not have to use the bourbon but it does give it a little something extra. You can also drizzle melted butterscotch on them, but remember that will make them sweeter.
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
These chocolate chip shortbread cookies are incredible — they're so rich and tasty! I can't tell you how many times I get asked for this recipe. Everyone loves it and it's easy to make. The cookies keep very well, and you can even make the dough ahead of time and freeze it. Defrost when ready to use and follow baking instructions. Great cookie for the holidays.
French Chocolate Cake
This is a typical French homemade cake — dense, dark, and delicious. It is a European sponge cake, with a different texture than its American counterparts. It is excellent when dusted with confectioners' sugar and served with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a fruit coulis.
