  Black Forest Marshmallow Kisses

  These chocolate-covered marshmallow cookies offer a slightly grown-up take on a childhood treat, still wrapped up in an adorable package. The shortbread base is delicate and brownie-like, so that the texture melds almost seamlessly into that of the fluffy brown-sugar marshmallow.

  Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies

  Pistachio-Coconut Snowballs

  These shortbread-ish cookies follow the tradition of Russian teacakes and Mexican wedding cookies. To up their impact, pistachios are toasted directly in browned salted butter. Once baked, instead of the usual confectioners’ sugar flurries, the balls are draped in white chocolate before a roll in shredded coconut for the full snowball treatment.
