This New England-style recipe is considered Yankee because it has the great tang of cranberries and another layer of sweet apples mixed into the dates. I prefer using apple cider here but juice is perfectly fine. These date-filled cookies are taken to a whole other level, you can't go much higher than these deliciously crisp, stuffed sugar cookies.

Us Yankees have been enjoying this dish for just as long but called Scootin' 'Long the Shore. And as much as I would like to add this and that to this version, I decided to take the critic's blows for offering a "dull and idiot simple" New England classic Pan Haggerty.

Simple, delicious and imaginative. Create your own colorfully tasty Skillet Veggie Drop Biscuits with a crunchy top and moist insides.

Served in Scottish Shortbread "cups," these appetizers are sticky, salty-sweet and delicious. Shortbread has been around for many centuries, thought to have originated in Scotland as a specifically designed biscuit using yeast.

Holiday Fruit and Nut Brittle

Literally meaning three milk cake, this Latin American cake is a super moist cake that will have you thinking about other ways you can flavor it and make it your own! Technically I should not be calling this Tres Leche because I only used 2 kinds of milk, the eggnog and whipped topping. But the classic preparation uses sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream, which is just a little fat overindulgence for me.
