Based on Dorie Greenspan’s classic Jammers, these cookies take flavour inspiration from a Prairie classic: Saskatoon pie. Saskatoons (also known as service berries) have an almond flavour that is amplified by an almond-scented sablé Breton base and an almond crumble.

Nougabricot, the classic Québécois jam, is based on common flavours in French nougat—apricot, almond, pistachio and candied orange peel. Here, it becomes a much simpler confection: rocky road. Just melt best-quality white chocolate with a little butter, fold in plump dried apricots, nuts and candied orange, and you’ve got a sophisticated treat in a matter of minutes (minus the chilling time). Bonus points for candying your own orange peel!

And an impressive orange treat you'll want to eat right away.

It's a cross-country road trip—via cookie!

Featuring the stone-cold classic, plus a glitzy holiday take and a less-sweet salted almond version that's a staff favourite.
