Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches
When I voted for this one, I fully had intended to make all the components but of course that did not happen. I used store bought ice cream and brioche bread but I did make the caramel sauce! These were a crowd pleaser. My son said he couldn’t wait to eat another one. I thought…
Pistachio and Raspberry Financiers
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making our last financiers from Baking Chez Moi. These mini cakes were new to me until I joined this group. We enjoyed the previous recipes Macha Financiers and Cowgirl Cornmeal-Pecan Financiers. These Pistachio and Raspberry Financiers were no exception in the like category. Financiers need planning ahead,…
Sesame-Sea Salt Cookies
From the cocktail cookies section, this cookie has it all. A little bit sweet from the sugar, a little rich from the butter and almond flour and a little crunch from the sesame seeds. There is something for everyone in this cookie. To see what other’s thought head over to Tuesdays with Dorie.
Blondies
Tuesdays with Dorie This blond version of a brownie includes pecans, milk chocolate and coconut. Dorie provides various ways to prepare these; the original recipe calls for a mini muffin tin but I decided to go the easy route and make bars.

Since strawberries and tomatoes are in season it was the perfect salad. We all had commented that we had never put strawberries and tomatoes together before but it worked. We enjoyed this…
Old Bay Pretzel-And-Cheese Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie From the cocktail section, these are a savory cookie. Flavored with Old Bay seasoning, pretzels and cheddar cheese, these turned out to be a tasty bite. The savory cookies tend to be a hit or miss with my family and I was glad this was a hit. Although nothing will top the…
Cookies-and-Cream Tartlets
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This was the perfect dessert to top off our Mother’s Day dinner. As I was making these, my husband watched me cut little squares of foil to cover the six tartlets and he said “it would be much easier to make one big one”. He is right it would…
Chocolate-Oatmeal Biscoff Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Armed with my jar of Biscoff, I happily made these cookies. I used my 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop which Dorie states is a medium scoop. I did not want to make 50 one teaspoon cookies. Also, I did not want to roll these into balls, just to squash them…
