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.
