Oatmeal Cookies with Nuts and Chocolate

Bonjour. I am posting from Paris, France. I am celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary in a city that is known for love and great food. I managed to knock out these cookies before I left. Oddly, I had all the ingredients for these cookies. Staple ingredients flour, oats, butter, both sugars, honey, and eggs. Flavored…

Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies

These slice and bake cookies are a welcome addition to the shortbread category. I went with the all chocolate variety since I would be sharing these with my son with his nut allergy. The first batch I baked I followed the time on the directions which was 22 minutes. They did not caramelize much so…

Copenhagen Rye Cookies with Chocolate, Spice and Seeds

Since our family loved Mokonuts’ Rye-Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies, I was pretty sure we were going to love these too. Also I make Multigrain Scones from Das Cookbook by Hans Rockenwagerner that includes flax seeds, sesame, seeds and sunflower seeds which is similar to this recipe. I had used up my current stash of rye…

Iced Spiced Hermits

Ever since I have purchased my copy of Baking with Dorie I have wanted to make these hermit cookies. My dad’s favorite cookies were hermits and I was feeling nostalgic which is why I kept nominating them. Thanks for finally bringing it to the schedule. Growing up my family was filled with girls, except my…

Liam Charles’s Chocolate Marshmallow Biscuits

Inspired by the latest season of the Junior Great British Bake Off, I decided to make Liam’s poop emoji biscuits ie cookies. It was a revelation to me that the recipes were available on the website, I did not know this. The recipe is printed by UK standards ie the metric system. I was not…

Peanut-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Paris Style

Admittedly, when I nominated this recipe all I saw was peanut butter, chocolate and cookie. I did not notice the number of additional steps:) Since I voted for this I decided to dive deep and do all the components. Brittle, Praline Sprinkle and Spread To make the brittle, recipe calls for a nonstick baking sheet…

Coffee-Anise Stars

Nothing says holiday baking more than a cut-out cookie. I rummaged through my stash of cookie cutters and found not only a star but a moon too. These are a plan-ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill at least one hour in the freezer or 3 hours in the refrigerator. I made my dough…

One Big Break-Apart Chipper

Our latest cookie recipe comes from Dorie’s latest book Baking with Dorie. This espresso, cinnamon and cardamom flavored cookie is rolled into one big cookie. I did not worry about shape or size when I rolled it out but when I went to fit it into my baking pan it did not fit. I trimmed…

Rousquilles

Instead of making little wheels (rousquilles means little wheels) I made hockey pucks. Since 1 3/4 inches seemed so small to me I didn’t feel like doing the center cut out. The first batch I made I cooked the full 18 minutes, this resulted in burnt cookies. So Mardi you are not alone with the…

Chocolate-Cranberry and Almond Cookies

I was not particularly looking forward to these but boy was I wrong. These were delicious cookies that were praised by all. Of course the almond lover thought they were grand. These are quite sophisticated with a nice snap which did not get soft over time. Definitely a make again recipe.
