Bavarian Apple Strudel
Russian Cookie House Bavarian Apple Strudel is NOT simply an apple pie with a strange name but an entirely different thing! The only thing the two have in common is the apple! Russian Cookie House makes it without added sugar.
History: A strudel is a layered pastry with a filling inside, that gained popularity in the 18th century through the Habsburg Empire (1278-1780) during its many centuries of expansion. Strudel is related to the Ottoman Empire\’s pastry baklava, and came to Austria via Turkish to Hungarian and then Hungarian to Austrian/Bavarian cuisine. In these countries, apple strudel is the most widely known kind of strudel. Apple strudel is considered to be one of the national dishes of Austria. The oldest Strudel recipe is from 1696, a handwritten recipe at the City Library of Vienna.
Ingredients: (No added sugar) Apples, Raisins, Sliced Almonds, Cinnamon, Bread Crumbs, Butter, Flour, Egg White, Vegetable Oil, Vinegar, Water, Salt

Chocolate Coated Gingers
The English name ginger ultimately originates from the Tamil inji ver. The Chinese make a kind of dried ginger candy that is fermented and cooked in sugar until soft, making it a confectionery. Naturally, being a Cookie House , we were concerned with this use of the ginger root.
However, aside from being delicious, it is also consumed to suppress coughing and addresses various forms of digestive problems , along with a host of other medicinal conditions. We believe that the honey and the chocolate we use to coat it go a long way towards making this some very nice tasting “medicine”.
Ingredients: Honey-cured Ginger, Bittersweet Chocolate

Marzipan Balls
bite-sized marzipan rolled in cocoa powder.
History: Listen up folks! MAR-ZI-PAN IS NOT Mazapan de Pili ! In the world of sweet stuff, Marzipan is such a serious issue that under EU law Marzipan must have a minimum almond oil content of 14% to get the right to be called Marzipan. In Sweden and Finland almond paste refers to Marzipan that contains 50% ground almonds, a much higher quality than regular marzipan. In Germany, Lübecker Marzipan, known for its quality, contains even more almonds. So, who invented the delicious concoction? Arabs claim it, Persians claim it , Turks claim it, Chinese claim it. Germans claim that theirs is the best. But the most intriguing evidence comes from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights of an almond paste eaten during Ramadan and as an aphrodisiac. That makes it a preferred choice for a Valentine present, but there are connoisseurs who eat it all year round. At Russian Cookie House we greatly reduced the sugar content found in some European brands and focused on the almonds…
Ingredients: Almond Meal, Confectioner’s Sugar, Egg White, (one of the following for flavoring: Almond Essence, Rosewater, or Orange Blossom), Cocoa Powder
