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.
Canistrelli
Another non-sweet wine cookie from Baking Chez Moi. I remember the Olive Oil and Wine Cookies we made in the past, they were not my favorite. I was willing to buy the white wine for these but not the Pastis which is an anise flavored liqueur. Steph helped me pick Limoncello from my available liqueurs….
They-Might-Be-Breakfast Cookies
I was a member of a committee at my son’s school. This was a 7 AM meeting so I tried to bring some baked goods, mostly muffins, when I attended. The attendees were always grateful. This recipe from Dorie’s Cookies caught my eye so I tried these instead of muffins. These were a soft and…
Fruit and Nut Croquants
Fruit and nut croquants are everything my husband loves in a cookie; orange, almond and raisins. I used all the optional ingredients in this cookie; orange rind, nutmeg, almond extract and cloves. I took Dorie’s advice “go heavier on the nuts than the fruit” and added 5 ounces of whole almonds with skin and 3…
Hazelnut Crescents
These are one of my favorite cookies, I have been making them for probably twenty years. The recipe comes from Chocolate cooking with the world’s best ingredient by Christine McFadden and Christine France. The book was a gift and I have made many chocolate treats from it. As I was trying to keep busy from…
Coco Rochers
Having just finished Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme, which required 4 egg yolks, I had 4 egg whites to make these cookies. These are really for the coconut lover. I had to go out and buy unsweetened coconut for this recipe, Dorie says “sweetened coconut won’t give you the right texture.” This is a simple…
