Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Springtime cookies and curd was a lovely dessert to usher in the new season. The base of this parfait dessert is double-butter double-baked petit beuree cookies. This is a cookie I have not heard of before nor have I tasted. It was a sweet, crunchy cookie that had multiple…

Kamish
Kamish, Mandelbrot or almond bread; no matter what you call it, it is a delicious cookie. Dorie says “think of them as the Eastern European version of biscotti” and that is exactly what we thought. Mine even look like biscotti compared to Dorie’s version. These cookies were easy to prepare but you do need plenty…
Viennese Sables
Butter, sugar, flour, the perfect trifecta. These simple butter cookies are my first try at Viennese Sables. When I soften butter for cookies I usually get it too warm but in this recipe it worked. Very warm softened butter is creamed with confectioners’ sugar which was easy to do by hand with a spatula. Additional…
Mocha-Ricotta Puffs
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies My Mocha-Ricotta Puffs are darker than Dorie’s since I used dark chocolate cocoa powder. These are a wonderful mocha cookie, I noticed the chocolate and coffee but not the ricotta. They turned out as Dorie described crunchy around the edges and soft centers. I ended up cooking mine less time…
Cocoa Linzer Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This is the second linzer cookie I have made recently. I think rolled and filled cookies are the essence of the holiday season. I let my husband choose the filling. Dorie had chocolate or jam options. We went with traditional raspberry filling. These cookies have the makings of everything…
Pretzel Linzers with Salted Caramel
When I saw this recipe I knew I had to make it. I was armed with a leftover container of pretzels from Halloween. I was not disappointed with my cooking adventure. These sweet and salty cookies were delicious and worth the effort of a rolled and filled cookie. Dusting the tops prior to putting them…
Princeton Gingersnaps
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Ah, now it is the holiday season. Nothing like the flavors of ginger, cinnamon, cloves and molasses to usher in winter. Last year I made Dorie’s Speculoos and my husband proclaimed “that is what a good cookie should taste like” so I was pretty sure that my husband would love…
Potato Chip-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These sweet and salty cookies from the Food Network were a big hit in my house. My son loves potato chips and this recipe has a whopping 8 ounce bag. I made a few changes to ingredients to what I had on hand. Instead of semisweet chocolate chopped I used chocolate chips. I don’t like…
Homemade Fig Newtons
Homemade Fig Newtons were a wonderful treat in our house and well worth the work. We loved them. The dough is a combination of white and whole wheat flours and flavored with cardamom and the zest of an orange. After the dough is made it needs to chill for 3 hours. You can use store…
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…
