Linzer heart cookies.

The Linzertorte is believed to have originated in the City of Linz, Austria in the early 1700s. Linzer Cookies use the same ingredients as a Linzertorte, only presented in a different way. They are so pretty, with their top cookie dusted with a thin white coating of powdered sugar and a cutout so you can see the color of the jam. The blend of tempting flavors of fruity jam filling in a buttery cookie is simply irresistible. 
Many people make them at Christmas time but they are really perfect for any time of year. 
Few days after baking they'll get just a better taste, so you can always prepare them as a dessert for future.

Tiramisu

This layered cake is one of the most famous Italian desserts. Best thing on the preparation is that it's simple and no cooking. You don't need a lot of time to put it together, all the lovely flavours will mingle by themself after spending few hours in the fridge. Tiramisu means "pick-me-up" in Italian and it's true, you will feel like on a cloud after an effect of the blend of strong espresso, mascarpone cream and sponge bisquits.

Everybody who tried this cake raved about it (soon after serving not one piece left over), so usually I'm doing double portion. It could be perfect as canape if you're doing a little party. You just need to cut it into small squares and arrange on right place. Be sure that nothing will left when the party will come to the end. Anyway it's also perfect just as a dessert for your family.
