Melt-In-Your-Mouth Almond Cookies by Alexandra Zohn
Make sure you eat them very close to a plate, as these cookies are so delicate that they crumble at the first bite! Almonds are a great source of vitamins, minerals, protein and antioxidants. They may help prevent diabetes and heart disease. Even though nuts have a high fat content (but the good kind); some studies have suggested that almonds (and other nuts) may help prevent weight gain. This recipe originally called for margarine, but that word is not included in a healthy eating dictionary! I love using pure coconut oil, which really does the trick adding a hint of coconut flavor that tastes even a bit buttery, without any trans fats.

A nunt is a pastry originating from Jewish cuisine which resembles nougat or brittle. The sweet treat is predominantly served at the Jewish celebration of Purim, where homemade foods and sweets are customarily given to neighbors and friends. This nougat recipe is made from just three ingredients – honey, nuts and sugar.
Chocolate Chip Babka by Blends by Orly
Orly’s patented gluten-free flour blends make creating pastries, like this classic babka cake, a cinch.
Almost No-Bake Nutella Bars by The Baker’s Daughter

Coconut Chocolate Fudge Squares by Rorie Weisberg
If you’re absolutely craving a bedtime snack, these Coconut Chocolate Fudge Squares might be your best bet.
