Directions

3. Combine fruit into two bowls. (Half this recipe if you only want one serving, for yourself 😉
4. (optional) *If serving as a dessert*, sprinkle fruit with sugar. Then, if desired, coat with lemon juice.  [Sprinkling just half a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of sugar onto fresh fruit can make them irresistible, while adding only 8 to 16 extra calories!] Let fruit sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to start macerating (aka start forming a syrup) and then place in the refrigerator until serving. Results are best when allowed to sit overnight.

~Nata Cookies~

Ingredients

• 2¼ cups flour
• ¹⁄₂ tsp. baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ tsp. whole anise seeds, crushed
• ¹⁄₄ tsp. ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ tsp. ground nutmeg
• ¹⁄₄ tsp. kosher salt

• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• ¼ cups sugar
• 1 egg yolk, mixed with 2 tsp. water for egg wash

Directions

Whisk together flour, baking powder, anise seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl; set aside. In another bowl, beat cream with a whisk until slightly thickened (it should still be pour-able); refrigerate until ready to use. In another bowl, beat sugar and butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add beaten cream and zest, and beat until smooth. Add dry ingredients, and mix until combined. Transfer to a work surface and shape into a disk; wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.

Heat oven to 350°. Transfer dough to a floured work surface, and using a rolling pin, roll until ¼” thick. Using a 1 ½”-wide round cutter, cut out cookies, and place 2″ apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are lightly golden, about 18-20 minutes.
