ASSORTED RUGELACH $5/pkg 4 oz
It's never a Jewish holiday without some rugelach on the table. My individually handmade cookies start with the classic cream cheese dough that bakes into a melt-in-your-mouth super flaky crust. For the holidays they're available in several different fillings.
Classic: apricot jam, golden raisins, toasted walnuts and cinnamon sugar. Just like Grandma used to make.
Chocolate Raspberry: raspberry jam, Belgium bittersweet chocolate, dark raisins and cinnamon sugar. Great choice if you don't like nuts.
Onion Jam w/ Everything Bagel Topping: homemade sweet & sour caramelized onion jam with sour cream & everything bagel topping. This savory version goes well on a cheese board or with cocktails.
ALMOND MANDELBROT $4/pkg of 2
Before I learned about biscotti, I grew up loving these delicious double baked cookies which were not too crunchy and speckled with chunks of roasted almonds. Perfect for dunking in tea or coffee.
CARAMEL MATZOH CRUNCH $5/pkg 4 oz
I love eating this all year because the addition of buttery caramel and smooth melted chocolate turn simple matzoh into a magical confection. Available with or without toasted walnut topping.
Everyone deserves to celebrate Christmas or Chanukah with holiday sugar cookies this year. They're whimsical and as delicious as they are cute. Assorted shapes include holiday themed symbols, animals and people. Each cookie comes wrapped individually in cello, ready for gift giving. Contact me to specify which shapes & holiday you desire.
CHOCOLATE ORGASM BUNDLE $10/pkg of 5
For over 20 years this has been my signature cookie, and for good reason. Chocoholics continue reading. They consist of loads of melted Belgium bittersweet chocolate surrounding chunks of more chocolate and roasted almonds, with just enough flour to hold them together. Also available without nuts! They come wrapped together in a cello bag, ready to gift. Even though there's enough to share, why would you?
CRANBERRY PISTACHIO BISCOTTI $4/pkg of 2
The ultimate crunchy biscotti, chock full of juicy cranberries and roasted pistachios. They taste like a HOLIDAY all year long.

Monday, December 9, 2024
We've made it past Thanksgiving and now it's full throttle into the magic of late December, culminating in New Year's Eve. There's been a bit of snow, so we know it's officially Winter. It's the time of year when the Bonni Bakes oven turns out lots of delicious holiday goodies, no matter which holiday you're celebrating.
This week I'm working on designs for Christmas & Chanukah sugar cookies, sampling batches of Rugelach in several flavors, playing with chocolate and finalizing everything that will be available to order in time for the holidays. Next Monday I'll share them with you. Meanwhile, stay warm & happy in this joyful holiday season. You can always reach me at bonnibakescatskill@gmail.com

NORM'S NYC ONION ROLLS $6/pkg of 4
These onion rolls were a staple in NYC bakeries back in the day. They are soft, squat, covered with caramelized onions & poppy seeds on top and make a great sandwich. On the other hand, they're also delicious alongside soup, a salad or by themselves with a schmear.
PUMPKIN DATE NUT MUFFIN $3
The spices are warm, the dates are sweet and the toasted walnuts are spread throughout this moist muffin, against a gentle pumpkin presence. A seasonal favorite! I like to eat mine with a schmear of cream cheese.
BIG COOKIES $3 each or 4/$10
CHOCOLATE ORGASM (with ALMONDS)
VIRGIN CHOCOLATE ORGASM (NO NUTS)
Some people don't like nuts in their cookies, but they shouldn't be denied the experience of this chocoholic's fantasy come true. Now there are two options: VIRGIN is nut free, while the original has ALMONDS. Both are mostly melted Belgium bittersweet chocolate surrounding chunks of more chocolate and just enough flour to hold it together. Something for everyone!
Crisp outside, softer inside and covered in Saigon cinnamon sugar all over. You don't need a special event to reward yourself, you deserve a treat!
ULTIMATE FUDGY BROWNIES
Made with cocoa (not melted chocolate), which gives them a distinct fudginess & shiny crust. A sprinkle of Maldon Salt on top balances out the sweetness. Plus they'll stay moist for days in a closed container...if they aren't nibbled up immediately.

GRANDMA'S APPLE CAKE $4/chunk
It's been a wonderful apple season with so many varieties available at local orchards. With the holidays coming up, and families getting together, I want to honor my Grandma by baking her delicious apple cake. This is a classic old fashioned cake bursting with Honey Crisp apples, cinnamon and tradition.
BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFIN $3
To me, blueberry and lemon are one of those perfect matches. Their flavors play off each other, and when fresh blueberries combine with tangy lemon in a soft delicious muffin...well, what else is there to say?
BIG COOKIES $3 each or 4/$10
CHOCOLATE ORGASM (with ALMONDS)
VIRGIN CHOCOLATE ORGASM (NO NUTS)
Some people don't like nuts in their cookies, but they shouldn't be denied the experience of this chocoholic's fantasy come true. Now there are two options: VIRGIN is nut free, while the original has ALMONDS. Both are mostly melted Belgium bittersweet chocolate surrounding chunks of more chocolate and just enough flour to hold it together. Something for everyone!
CHOCOLATE PARADISO BISCOTTI
Large chunks of dark chocolate & toasty almonds join this orange flecked biscotti. Crunchy, but not too hard to bite, just delicious!
SALTED CHOCOLATE CHUNK
My version of America's favorite cookie, palm sized, filled with lots of bittersweet chocolate chunks and a sprinkle of Maldon salt on top. It hits all the notes perfectly!
OATMEAL CRANBERRY
Cookies with that classic toasty oatmeal flavor, enhanced with warm spices, BUT they're plush with yummy cranberries throughout to celebrate the season. Party on!!
