Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti
Posted on April 14, 2009
These Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti are vegan and gluten-free. Because eggs are a main component of biscotti, I haven’t seen a lot, if any vegan recipes, for this type of cookie. My favorite thing about these gluten-free biscotti, however, is how simple they are to make. Just throw everything in the food processor and you’re

Sesame Cookies
Posted on March 31, 2009
These Sesame Cookies are yet another Passover friendly dessert recipe. I wouldn’t necessarily have thought of making cookies with sesame. Why?

Purim is this Friday, March 21st, less than one week away.
