Lemon sables (shortbread cookies) encrusted with sugar crystals. These are delicious because lemon zest was ground into the sugar before baking!
Cheddar gougeres (savory giant cream puffs that are hollow, herb-spiced, and encrusted with cheese) from the Tartine Bakery cookbook. These are amazing. We had some with grilled fish for dinner, and then I had some for breakfast and J brought a few for lunch.Like the view of the alley from my kitchen?

Nice shade marks on the cookies :-)
I should clarify, the sables are from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Kitchen to Yours.
Both that one and the Tartine cookbook are great. I have hardly made a dent in either, but so far the instructions are easy to follow with amazing results.
Are those the "cheese puffs" we're going to make when you come back? mmm...
I've come to realize that I happen to like shortbread A LOT. I didn't think so at first because they're quite plain and a little bland, but after eating some girl scout cookies the other day, I changed my mind.
