These crescent almond cookies are quick and super easy to make. Filled with sweet nutty flavor. Crumbly and crunchy on the outside. No school today for the kids, so we spent the morning at the beach with lots of our friends. With the last effects of Hurricane Marie, even today, the waves were amazingly big and a bit scary. Probably not 15 feet high as the other day, but definitely not safe enough for the kids (or me) to boogie board. Anyways, with this perfect warm and sunny weather, a nice ocean breeze and great company, we all had a blast. I'm now a bit exhausted, ready to relax and cook something delicious. Yes! Baking is a great form of relaxation for me! I had some leftover almond flour from a couple of weeks ago, when I made some delicious, chewy and sticky almond cookies. I really love those cookies, and I was almost tempted to bake the same today. My kids have also been begging for more! But I decided to change recipes and try something new. These cookies are quick and super easy, filled with sweet almond flavor, crumbly and crunchy on the outside. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast with cappuccino or milk. Great for your kids' snack - they will love you even more! And a delicious idea for your afternoon tea. Enjoy! Ingredients: to make about 18 cookies Printable Recipe 2 oz (half stick - 55 gr) of unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup (60 gr) of sugar 1 egg 1/4 of teaspoon of almond extract 1 pinch of salt 1.5 cups (150 gr) of almond meal/flour 1 cup (120 gr) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (75 gr) sliced almonds to decorate powder sugar to decorate (optional) Preparation time: 40 minutes Directions: Step 1: In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar, salt, almond extract and the egg, until smooth. Step 2: Add the almond meal and all-purpose flour and mix well. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll pieces of dough into the sliced almonds, and shape in crescent shapes, as shown in my picture. Step 4: Place the cookies on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper over baking sheet. Bake the cookies for about 20-25 minutes until slightly golden on top. Let the cookies cool down and decorate with powder sugar if you like. Enjoy! And have a great weekend :-)

Adapted from The New York Times Notes: Plan ahead! This takes time to make and bake and chill — it must chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving. You'll need a 10-inch springform pan for this recipe. Ricotta: You must use whole milk ricotta here. Low-fat will leave the cheesecake with a gritty texture. Calabro brand, sold at Whole Foods, is nice. If you are serving this the same day you are making it, bake it first thing in the morning. As noted above, this can be made a day in advance. Bring to room temperature briefly before serving. Fresh ricotta versus not: Fresh is best. My mother always uses fresh, but keep in mind you will need three pounds, which can get pricey. Most recently I made two using standard grocery store ricotta, and I still thought it was completely delicious, but several commenters have not had success with non-fresh ricotta, so I am advising to use fresh ricotta only here. Cooking times will vary dramatically depending on your oven, the pan you are using for the water bath and what type of fresh ricotta you are using. Start checking at 1 hour and 15 minutes. The cookie crust is more of a cookie dusting than a crust — it melts into the cheesecake making it almost undetectable. It's a subtle touch, but still really nice. Use whatever cookie you like, but I highly recommend the Jules Destrooper butter waffles if you can find them. This is what my mother always uses and what I use now, too. They are made of all good things — flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda — and they are delicious to boot. You also could skip the cookie coating all together for simplicity. If you have a Thermapen (highly recommend!), use it to test the temp of the cheesecake, and remove it when it reads 150-155ºF. I have never done this, but the next time I make this, I'm tempted to skip the water bath, and bake the cake on a rimmed sheet pan at 350ºF for about an hour — I've seen a number of recipes that skip the water bath without issue.

Recipe video above. Also known as Parisian Flan, this traditional French custard tart is the most magnificent custard tart in the world (in my humble opinion!). It's like a giant Portuguese Tart - but better, because there's so much more custard!The custard is truly incredible - rich, creamy, but not overly sweet. Sets perfectly to cut neat slices but melts in your mouth.DO NOT BE DAUNTED by the lengthy looking instructions. At its core, it is just a puff pastry crust filled with custard. Details are provided to ensure there's enough information even for less confident bakers.(And PS, it's SUPPOSED to look rustic!)At its best in the 24 hours after 12 hours refrigeration after finished custard comes out of oven (crispiest base). Keeps 4 - 5 days but pastry starts to lose crispiness (it's still AWESOME though!).My typical workflow: Make custard and line pan with pastry in evening. Bake in morning, fridge all day, serve that evening. Or bake in early evening, fridge overnight, serve the next day.
