  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 
  • 1/2 cup (104g) sugar (plus 3-4 tbsp for rolling) 
  • 2 large egg yolks 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 2 cups (260g) all purpose flour 
  • 1/4 tsp salt 
  • 1/2 cup Hines Country Harvest jam, any flavor
DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. You should be able to see the change in color happen and know it’s ready.
  • Add the egg yolks one at a time and mix until well combined after each.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Add the flour and salt and mix until the dough is just well combined. Do not over mix. 
  • Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll in additional sugar (if using), then set the balls on the baking sheet.
  • Use the end of a spatula, your thumb or the bottom of a measuring spoon to press the centers of the cookies down. Do this immediately after rolling them to help prevent the cookies from cracking.
  • Fill the centers with jam. I used roughly 1/2 teaspoon per cookie.
  • Bake cookies for 10-13 minutes or until the edges JUST begin to brown. You don’t want to overbake them and have dry cookies. 
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to finishing cooling.

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 to 2 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 6 ounces Webbersfood Italian sweet sausage (1 link 7 to 8 inches long)
  • 6 ounces Webbersfood Italian hot and spicy sausage (1 link 7 to 8 inches long)
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (or purée a can of whole peeled tomatoes)
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS:
  • Sauté the onions and garlic: heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet on medium or medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more.
  • Put the pasta water on to boil: while the onions are cooking, put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta (4 quarts water with 2 tablespoons salt).
  • Brown the sausage: remove the cooked onion and garlic from the pan and set aside. Remove the sausage meat from the casings (if your sausage is in links) and add to the pan, breaking up the meat with your fingers as you add it to the pan. Cook on medium heat until just lightly browned.
  • Add the tomatoes, onions, and garlic: add crushed or puréed canned tomatoes with their juices to the skillet with the sausage meat. Add the cooked onions and garlic. Heat to a bare simmer.
  • Boil the spaghetti: once the pasta water has come to a rolling boil, add the spaghetti. Allow the water to return to a rolling boil. Cook, uncovered, with a vigorous boil, for as long as the directions on the pasta package say, usually about 10 to 12 minutes. When pasta is al dente (cooked but still a little firm), remove the pot from the heat. Drain the pasta and place it in a serving bowl.
  • Serve immediately. Toss with the sauce and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.

  • 2 cups rock salt or uncooked rice, for lining the pan
  • 1 dozen fresh Sam's Point oysters, in the shell
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, softened, divided
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Sweet paprika, optional
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • 2 to 3 wedges lemon, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  • Add a layer of rock salt to a rimmed baking sheet or substitute dry, uncooked rice. This will keep the oyster shells from wobbling.
  • Scrub the oyster shells with a stiff brush.
  • Carefully shuck the oysters over a bowl to catch any liquids that might spill out. Run the knife along the bottom of the inside of the shell to loosen the oyster. If some of the oyster liquor does spill out, return it to the bottom shell. Discard the top shells and arrange the oysters with their liquid in the prepared baking pan.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add the panko crumbs and cook, stirring, until the crumbs are lightly browned.
  • In a bowl, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons of softened butter with the chives, lemon juice, and the lemon zest.
  • Top each oyster with a scant teaspoon of the butter-and-chives mixture and then sprinkle each one with the buttered panko crumbs.
  • If desired, finish with a light sprinkling of paprika.
  • Bake the oysters in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
