| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 ½ cups |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Unsalted butter (softened) | 1 cup |
| Granulated sugar (for rolling) | ½ cup |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ¼ teaspoon |
| Raspberry preserves | ½ cup |
Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to guarantee easy removal of the cookies after baking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This step guarantees that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Egg and Vanilla: Once the butter and sugar are creamed, add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- Prepare the Raspberry Swirl: Gently fold in the raspberry preserves with a spatula. You want to incorporate it enough to create lovely swirls without fully blending it into the dough.
- Form the Cookies: Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the additional ½ cup of granulated sugar to coat.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is perfect for a soft cookie texture.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once the cookies have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed! These delightful Raspberry Swirl Sugar Cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings, cookie exchanges, or simply as a festive treat to brighten up your day.

| Egg whites | 4 |

| Rosewater | 1 teaspoon |
| Food coloring (optional) | Pink or red gel |
Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the meringues from sticking.
- Prepare the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Verify that there is no yolk present, as even a small amount of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.

- Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. This will help create a stable meringue. Continue to beat on high speed until the mixture becomes glossy and stiff peaks form.

- Pipe Meringue Kisses: Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small kisses (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meringues are dry and easily lift off the parchment paper.
- Cool: Once baked, turn off the oven and allow the meringue kisses to cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar. This will help them dry out completely and prevent cracking.
- Store: Once completely cool, store the meringue kisses in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or used to decorate cakes and other desserts for a delightful rose-flavored touch.

| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Almond flour | 1 cup |
| Powdered sugar | 1 ¾ cups |

| Cream of tartar | ¼ teaspoon |
| Food coloring (pink) | A few drops |
| Unsalted butter | ½ cup (1 stick), softened |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Prep Your Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. You can use a template if you desire uniform sizes for your macarons.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar to eliminate any lumps and guarantee a smooth batter.
- Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, start whisking on medium speed until they become frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whisk. Once the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks, add the cream of tartar. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Add Color and Fold: Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the meringue and gently fold it in until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue in three additions. Use a spatula and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl until the batter flows like molten lava and creates a figure-eight pattern when lifted.
- Pipe the Macarons: Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each macaron. Tap the baking sheets lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the piped macarons to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface. The macarons should not stick to your finger when lightly touched.
- Preheat Oven: While the macarons are resting, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Bake: Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they look firm and can be lifted off the parchment paper without sticking.
- Cool and Prepare Filling: Let the macarons cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. For the cream filling, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add the softened butter and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the Macarons: Once the macarons are cool, pair them up by size. Pipe or spread a dollop of the cream filling onto the flat side of one macaron, then gently press the matching macaron on top to create a sandwich.
- Enjoy: Allow the assembled macarons to rest in the refrigerator for a few hours, ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld before serving. Enjoy your delicious blush macarons!
