Tuesdays with Dorie

Dorie’s Cookies

These cookies are double good and double dangerous, let me explain. The double goodness comes from buckwheat flour and kasha as well as cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate. I went with Dorie’s free form method and rolled the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper. I was given sea salt caramel pieces and I used that for the topping instead of flake sea salt and sanding sugar. My sea salt seemed to have dissolved into the cookie dough so I don’t think I got the desired effect. I used a pizza cutter to cut my cookies into squares. I learned that you don’t have to wait until the cookies are cool to eat them (danger #1). Cutting cookies you end up with little odd shape pieces at the ends which some how disappear quickly (danger #2). These cookies are chocolaty, delicious and dangerously good.
