These festive cookies are inspired by The Nutcracker's Land of Sweets sequence, in which coffee and sugar plums are two of the flavours used to conjure a fanciful world of decadent diversion. Anything from a hard candy to a candied fruit can qualify as a sugar plum and, in the case of these cookies, the sugar plum is represented by the amarena cherry. Coffee's bitterness balances the sweetness of the fruit and the rich butteriness of the dough, while the oat flour adds a dash of shortbread-like delicateness.

This Blueberry Cake recipe is my go-to as summer approaches, showcasing fresh blueberries and topped with a creamy frosting, making it a delightful seasonal dessert.
