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.

Almond Stripes
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Like many of my fellow bakers, I had trouble piping my ‘dough’, more like almond paste.

Fruit and Four-Grain Biscotti
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Happy New Year! Starting off 2019 with a healthy-ish biscotti made with whole wheat flour, wheat germ, rolled oats, kasha and flax seeds.
