Don’t these hot pink cookies look like the perfect thing to bring to potlucks and picnics all summer long? These beauties are from my sweet friend Heather Christo’s new cookbook. Her book Generous Table is just as gorgeous as she is. Heather makes me feel like I can entertain any night of the week.
Heather has recipes for any type of entertaining festivity. From Ladies’ Luncheon, Southern Housewarming, Backyard BBQ, Game Night, and Holiday Dinner Parties, Heather has you covered. She even shares decoration tips! I was so happy to see a few traditional Greek recipes in the book. She has a recipe for Bougatsa that she describes as a cross between baklava and creme brulee. You can be sure that’s what I’m making next!
I will be cooking from this book for all of my summer entertaining. Her recipes are delicious with a twist. The beet pesto pasta called to me. The macaroni and cheese with pumpkin and bacon stared me down. But ultimately, I decided to make these pretty little pink cookies. You know the first recipe I make from any cookbook has to be a dessert! The sugar cookie dough couldn’t be easier. The berry frosting is what makes these cookies sing—fresh berries crushed and mixed with butter and powdered sugar. So pretty, so good! I used raspberries, but I’ve got my eye on some strawberries for the next batch, too.
