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…

Palmiers
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi The first time I made palmiers was two years ago. I think I had beginners luck as they came out perfect. I was not wanting to deviate much from what I did then, afraid that I would break the spell. Dorie’s recipe is a little bit different from what…
Double-Chocolate Marble Cake
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This double chocolate cake contains both white chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. This is a very decadent cake with butter, eggs, whole milk, and two kinds of chocolate. My husband could not stop eating it. I think this is another winner in our house. I got thumbs up from my…
Good Better Best Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Good Better Best Cookies. Dorie provides us three ways we can make these cookies. The plain cookies (na), sandwich cookies with Biscoff filling (better) or sandwich cookies dipped in chocolate (now we’re talking). Any time there is a chocolate option I am going to take it. I made these cookies…
Banana-Chocolate Chaussons
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi A month of Chaussons I had the opportunity to make both chaussons; banana-chocolate and apple. At the beginning of the month I had an abundance of bananas so I made the banana-chocolate ones first. I put the optional Nutella in half of them. I forgot to put the butter…
Toasted Buckwheat and Chopped Chocolate Sables
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi In the past, Sables have been a crowd pleaser cookie in our house so I was pretty sure we were going to like these. This is the first recipe in which I had to toast flour. My son complained of the smell the entire time, an unintended consequence. My…
Moroccan Semolina and Almond Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These cookies required semolina flour. I was unable to find semolina flour in bulk so I bought a package of Bob’s Red Mill semolina flour, 2 pounds of it. Looks like I will be doing more baking with semolina flour. These cookies came together easy with no chilling time which…
Dark Chocolate Mousse
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Dorie states this recipe came from Pierre Herme and it’s a pro’s recipe. Boy, is she right and I met my match with this one. For Valentine’s Day I received a new candy thermometer which might seem like a weird gift but I was happy! Now I could tackle…
Smoky Hearts
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies The savory cookies or cocktail cookies as Dorie calls them have been a hit or miss in my house. I was apprehensive about this one. I recently cleaned out my spice drawer throwing away all expired spices. My smoked paprika was one of the casualties. I was confident that I could…
Almond Stripes
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Like many of my fellow bakers, I had trouble piping my ‘dough’, more like almond paste. The dough only moistened by one tablespoon of egg white needed much more to extrude through a piping bag. I also needed to bake mine longer than 8-10 minutes. Once baked, Dorie gives…
