Raspberry Shortbread Fool

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I'm mired pretty firmly in baking-with-berries season. I've shared both blueberry and strawberry recipes with you this month. Now, on to raspberries! Of all the interesting dessert names, I enjoy the simplicity of the name "fool." From what I understand, fools got their name because they are so simple that any fool could make them. A fool is essentially a combination of sweetened whipped cream and fruit. Yes, I'd say that's pretty simple. Foolproof, even.

Recently, I've been on a bit of an organizing streak. I generally consider myself organized, but there are new levels of obsession around here. I think I owe some of that to living in New York. Small spaces are pure misery without some extreme organization. As I was rearranging the cabinet that passes for my baking pantry, I found some dried blueberries stuck behind a giant bag of cinnamon. So, obviously, I had to pause the organizing and make cookies.

If you're looking for cookies that are quick and easy but look like anything but, look no further. And, honestly, aren't we always looking for those kinds of desserts? These little almond cookies are not too sweet. And, actually, they're pretty tasty on their own. They can be made in one bowl. That's always a plus, but especially so when I'm doing so much baking.

I confess that I don't often bake with whole wheat flour. I think that's due more to habit than taste. But, it can be a great substitute for traditional flour in many recipes, like this one. I am fairly confident that if you tasted one of these without knowing the list of ingredients, you'd never guess that they are made with whole wheat flour. In fact, of all the cookies in my recent baking memory, these are probably in the top 10.

Sweet and salty has become a bit of a theme this month in my kitchen. Just last week, there were those Salted Caramel Pecan Bars. And, the week before that, I shared these lovely Fleur de Sel Chocolate Chip Blondies. Hopefully, no one minds the repetition. I, for one, adore the sweet and salty combo.
