Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• egg
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line three jelly roll pans with parchment paper. Prepare a pastry bag with a size 6 tip (1/2 inch).
2. 2 Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 of the sugar and all of the vanilla. Beat until very light colored. This will take about 5 minutes.
3. 3 In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. While beating, slowly add the salt and the remaining sugar until combined. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
4. 4 Sift the flour over the egg mixture and gently fold it in.
5. 5 Fill the pastry with half of the batter and pipe 3 1/2 inch fingers, 1 1/2 inches apart, in rows on the parchment paper. Continue with the second half of the batter in the same manner.
6. 6 Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 15 minutes until firm to the touch and golden. Remove the paper and fingers from the baking sheet and place on racks to cool. After cooling, remove fingers from the paper and use, or store between layers of wax paper in a airtight container. These freeze well.

Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• strawberry
• water
• white sugar
• lemon juice
• balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. 1 Rinse strawberries with cold water, then drain.
2. 2 Place berries into a blender with water, sugar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Pulse several times to get the mixture moving, then blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a large baking dish; the mixture should only be about 3/8 inch deep in the dish.
3. 3 Place the uncovered dish into the freezer until the mixture barely begins to freeze around the edges, about 45 minutes, it will still be slushy in the center.
4. 4 Keeping the mixture in the freezer, use a fork to lightly stir the frozen crystals from the edges in towards the center; mix thoroughly. Close the freezer and continue to chill until granita is nearly frozen, 30 to 40 more minutes. Mix lightly again with a fork as before, scraping the crystals loose. Repeat freezing and stirring with the fork three to four more times until the crystals are separate and the granita looks dry and fluffy.
5. 5 Portion granita into small serving bowls to serve.

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch round cake pan; set aside.
2. 2 Combine sugar, water, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until completely dissolved; set aside.

Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• egg
• instant dark roast coffee
• white sugar
• marsala wine
• heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Combine egg yolks, instant dark roast coffee, marsala wine, and sugar in a metal bowl and whisk together until smooth.
3. 3 Place bowl in the top of a double boiler over lightly simmering water. Whisk constantly until mixture thickens and drippings from the whisk form ribbons on the surface that are visible for 1/2 second to 1 second, about 10 minutes. If you are "brave", you can set the bowl directly over medium-low heat and thicken the egg cream that way, but you have to be careful so you don't end up with scrambled eggs. This last method is slightly faster and will take about 6 to 7 minutes.
4. 4 Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add salt and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
5. 5 Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form.
6. 6 Using a spatula, fold in egg yolk mixture until combined.
7. 7 Add half of the egg whites and fold in until combined. Then fold in remaining egg whites until well combined.
8. 8 Transfer mixture into small 4 ounce jam jars and close with lids. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
9. 9 Garnish and enjoy!

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
2. 2 Place almonds into the bowl of a food processor; alternate pulsing and running at full speed every few seconds until finely chopped and crumblike. Be careful not to go too far; you don't want them too fine and pasty. You can chop the almonds by hand if you prefer but it will take a lot longer.
3. 3 Combine butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir a few times and cook until melted and dissolved. Bring to a boil, then carefully remove from the heat.
4. 4 Add vanilla extract, salt, and flour, and whisk until smooth. Add chopped almonds and mix with a spatula until everything is combined.
5. 5 Drop eight uniformly sized, rounded spoonfuls of batter (each about 2 teaspoons, or 15 grams) onto the prepared sheet. Fine-tune the cookie shapes and make sure they are evenly spaced.
6. 6 Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until golden brown and a bit darker around the outsides, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
7. 7 Remove from the oven and slide the silicone liner off the baking sheet and directly onto the countertop. Allow to sit until cool and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then gently peel cookies off the liner. Repeat to bake remaining batches.
8. 8 Spread melted chocolate over the flat side of one cookie. Place a second cookie, flat-side down, on top to make a sandwich and press very gently to seal. Repeat to form remaining cookies. Let sit until chocolate has firmed up, about 30 minutes.

3. 3 Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Stir into butter mixture until well incorporated. If you are using a stand mixer, mix dough another minute to add lightness. The dough will be soft, but will hand roll easily.
4. 4 Pinch off pieces of dough slightly smaller than a walnut; roll into small logs. Dip in milk, then roll in sesame seeds. Place cookies one inch apart on a baking sheet. Cookies will not spread very much.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until bottom and sides of cookies are lightly toasted, 17 to 20 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
