Cupcakes and Cashmere

Cigarette Russes

November 17th, 2010



There’s something so appealing about delicate little cookies, even if you have to eat a dozen of them before you’re satisfied.  While thumbing through my new Martha Stewart cookie book last week, these Cigarette Russes caught my eye and I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to make them.  You have to refrigerate the batter for two hours before even getting started, which is usually enough to turn me off, but these were worth the wait.   I made a batch just to have some dessert at home, but they’d also make a great hostess/holiday/house warming gift stuck in a little jar with a simple ribbon.

    I love the holidays. Can’t stop thinking about all the food and sweets i’m going to make. I’d like to try something new, but I crave this chocolate pecan pie ever year and end up making that. :-)

    These sound positively DIVINE and I fully intend to make a batch before the weekend is over. And then, I shall be eating them for breakfast because Mondays deserve something special. Oh, and they also sound like the perfect accompaniment to coffee. Yum.
