Tate's Bake Shop: A Little Something Sweet Feature and Giveaway!

I've raved about Tate's Bake Shop for years now and the fact that they make delicious cookies and treats still is a fact!  Kathleen, the owner and founder of Tate's Bake Shop, started selling her chocolate chip cookies at North Sea Farm, her father's farmstand in Long Island when she was just 11 years old! In 1980, at the age of 21, she opened her own shop in the Hamptons and quickly became a popular destination among locals and visitors. The New York Post stated that Tate's was "worth putting miles on the odometer". Anybody up for a roadtrip?

Lucky for us, you don't have to live in New York to indulge in these delicious cookies and treats!  Tate's is committed to delivering classic and delicious baked goods made with the highest quality and freshest ingredients. This Valentine's Day season Tate's Bake Shop has created many different delicious gift basket options creating the perfect sweets for anyone's sweetie.

One more thing! Tate's Bake Shop is sharing one of their favorite recipes with Barefoot by the Sea's readers just in time for Valentine's Day...Linzer Heart Cookies from their newest cookbook: Baking for Friends!
TATE'S BAKE SHOP LINZER HEART COOKIES
An important tip: be sure to chop the nuts and chocolate very fine in a food processor (pulse to chop so the friction doesn’t warm them), or the dough will be too rough-textured to roll out smoothly. You need a graduated set of heart-shaped cookie cutters to make these. Yield: 20 sandwich cookies
Cookies
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ pound (3 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups toasted, skinned and very finely chopped hazelnuts
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, very finely chopped
-plus-
½ cup seedless raspberry jam
½ cup confectioners’ sugar for sifting
1. Sift the flour, cornstarch, and salt into a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the butter and confectioners’ sugar with an electric mixer set on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the flour mixture, just until combined. Mix in the hazelnuts and chocolate.
2. Gather up the dough and shape it into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. (The dough can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly before rolling.)
3. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a round about ¼-inch thick. Use a 3 ½-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies as close as possible to avoid excess scraps. Arrange the hearts about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gather up the dough scraps and gently knead together, and cut out more cookies. If the dough becomes too soft to roll out, refrigerate until chilled. You should have 40 cookies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Position the oven racks in the top third and center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F.
5. Use a 1-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the centers of 20 cookies. These will be the cookie tops. (You can bake the mini hearts to nibble on later! Don’t throw away or re-roll.) Bake, switching the position of the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking, until the cookies begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Sift some of the ½ cup of confectioners’ sugar over the hot cut-out cookies Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
6. Spread the jam on the cookie bottoms, leaving an 1/8-inch border around the edges. Add the tops, sugared sides up, and press together gently. Just before serving, sift the remaining confectioners’ sugar over the cookies.
 
Have a great day!
