Today on French Fridays with Dorie we are celebrating Dorie’s birthday with sweets from her new cookbook Baking Chez Moi. With the release of her new cookbook, just 4 days away, Dorie has shared some baking recipes in advance. Palets des Dames, Lille Style; Canneles; and Chocolate Cream Puffs with Mascarpone and Rose Filling. My family picked Palets des Dames, Lille Style for me to make.
This is a soft cake-like batter that needs to be chilled for a least an hour so planning is in order. Dorie suggests 2 teaspoons of dough per cookie. I did not have this handy scoop size so I scooped 2 teaspoons and rolled into a ball.
Palets des Dames, Lille Style are very pretty cookies. We enjoyed this vanilla cookie with a hint of lemon. My son said that because they were so small that he could eat 8:)
See what others made from Baking Chez Moi.

I totally agree with your son! I think I did eat 8! LOL! I really enjoyed these. Sorry I missed your question on the Jerusalem Artichokes – I didn't end up finding them after all…Have a lovely weekend!

I ate more than 8. Whoops. ha! These were a big hit in our house, too. Even my husband, who isn't a big fan of sweets, ate a few.

They are addictive, aren't they? We packaged some up and distributed some to various family members (my uncle says I've earned favourite niece status, for now). Still, a lot disappeared before that happened.

Your son is my kinda guy. I ate five of those delicious morsels before they finished cooling. Quickly packed up the rest and took to the Library Ladies! Your cookies look exactly as I want my cookies to look. I always think bigger is better and started out my making larger cookies. And, I didn't roll them like I would do after reading your Post. As I made more cookies, I made them smaller and the last few looked good. Yours are all gorgeous.

Your cookies look beautiful! I made these as well, and they were terrific. I ended up making a half-batch between calls and emails just before I left on a trip. Into a box the cookies went, and made for a sweet treat on my job-site! I still have the 2nd half of the batter in the freezer and can't wait to bake them. Yours look lovely – oh, and I could have easily eaten 8!
