Washington pastry chef Paola Velez turns to her Dominican roots with this simple sugar cookie taken to the next level with nutmeg and a sweet-and-sour tamarind icing. wapo.st/3sbIi1p Image
This dairy- and egg-free treat from blogger Jessica Hylton Leckie is a soft and chewy ringer for the holiday beverage.

Expect elegance with a splash of color and punch of ginger in these chocolate-studded slice-and-bake cookies from Toronto cookbook author Tara O’Brady. wapo.st/3J6vejU Image
Baker Arturo Enciso of Long Beach, Calif., brings the heat with these cutout cookies (the cactus shape is highly recommended but not mandatory) that let a heady mix of cinnamon and cayenne play off the nutty undertones of whole spelt flour. wapo.st/30B0Rka Image
For a delightful tea- or coffee-time treat, Australian cookbook author Thalia Ho parlayed her interest in botanical ingredients by pairing piney rosemary and bright orange peel with the caramelized sweetness of baked white chocolate pieces. wapo.st/3p0k08h Image
Cookbook author and “Great American Baking Show” champion Vallery Lomas takes inspiration from the classic cake in these cutout cookies that are decorated with white chocolate and can be made in the shape of your choice. wapo.st/3IVwPZG Image

Highly vaccinated countries thought they were over the worst. Denmark says the pandemic’s toughest month is just beginning. wapo.st/3J0EG8l
Scientists caution that the knowledge of omicron remains imprecise. Denmark’s virus modelers have many scenarios.

But even in a middle-of-the-road scenario, Danish hospitals will soon face a daily flow of patients several times beyond previously seen. washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/…
Denmark’s data shows people with two doses to be just as vulnerable to omicron infection as the unvaccinated.

Those who’ve received boosters have better protection — a sign of hope — but about 3 in 4 Danes have yet to receive a third dose. washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/…

In just 10 months, Travis County District Attorney José Garza won indictments against nine law enforcement officials.

Now he is in a showdown to reform the Austin police department. wapo.st/3p696OG
Garza had no experience as a prosecutor when he was elected last year in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and nationwide protests against police.

He promised to end the over-prosecution of the poor and people of color. wapo.st/3p696OG Image
This year, his office obtained indictments of five Austin police officers, two county deputies, an assistant county attorney and a sheriff on charges including tampering with evidence and murder.

Thirteen-year-old Samara Duplessis was safe in her room one day in the summer of 2020.

Her father called. “Something’s going on,” he said. wapo.st/3sbb5mL
More than a dozen people had called him, frantic about whether Samara was okay. Apparently, thousands of people on the Internet were talking about the same thing.

Samara’s name and face were going viral. wapo.st/3sbb5mL "I started getting rea...

Beside it was a screenshot of a “Duplessis” pillow for sale on Wayfair. wapo.st/3sbb5mL A tweet with a user saying ...
