These brown sugar oat squares are from the cookie section of Baking with Dorie. These are made primarily from flour, oats, butter and brown sugar. They actually tasted like the topping to a cobbler. We thought these were tasty and flavorful as they were spiced with cinnamon and allspice. To see what others thought head…

Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars
While making these bars, I was reminded of my favorite restaurant in San Jose, CA. I used to have to fly to San Jose once a month for work and I would always go to Jubba Restaurant East Africa Cuisine, they had the best spiced tea and fish wraps. If you are ever in the…
Mary’s Maine Bars
Mary’s Maine Bars was the perfect recipe for me to make this week on Tuesdays with Dorie. I had travelled for work so I was short on time and energy but I had all the ingredients to make this bar. My one wrinkle was I had only one half cup of molasses, I did not…
Chocolate and Walnut Bars
This week’s selection for Tuesdays with Dorie is a bar aka cake that Dorie describes as “pleasantly dry, sponge texture.” This is Dorie’s version of a Roman dessert she liked. I had to make changes right from the start. I have a Costco size bag of almond flour so I substituted the walnuts for almonds….
Baby Buckwheat Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie is another bar recipe that I think counts as cake and not as a cookie. I am familiar with buckwheat flour (we enjoy buckwheat pancakes) but I usually don’t bake with 100% buckwheat. Dorie describes these as “pleasantly dry and grainy texture” and she is right they have a…
Natasha’s Mum’s Fruit and Walnut Bread Bars
When I opened the cook book to make these, I knew I was going to have to make substitutions. My husband does not like walnuts so that was first to go, I substituted for pecans. Next was the dried fruit. I did not have most of the fruit listed so I went with what I…
Ms. Corbitt’s Pecan Cake Fingers
The picture in Dorie’s Cookies looked inviting which is why I chose this recipe. This is a different kind of cookie with a base of “marshamllowy, cafe-au-lait-colored meringue” in which flour and chopped pecans are added. The cookie bakes at a low temperature of 275 degrees for a long time 50 minutes. My dough did…
Raisin Bars
My husband’s two favorite food items are raisins and almonds. I think his head was going to explode with both ingredients in one cookie. I took the easy route and made the raisin filling and cookie dough the night before and then baked the next day. The chilled dough took a bit of time to…
Chocolate-Pecan Pie Cookie Bars
Every year I host a friendsgiving and it is always bigger than my Thanksgiving. I bake our November selections every year and Dorie’s desserts are always a crowd pleaser. This year I picked these chocolate-pecan pie cookie bars to share. The base of the cookie is Dorie’s sweet tart dough partially baked. The topping is…
Crumb-Topped Apple Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I made these for a dinner party I was attending. My husband said “the apple bars are getting rave reviews”. And sure enough they all disappeared. This was a great ending to a bar cookie that got a rocky start. I had a few challenges this week with this recipe….
