Baking from 3 Dorie cookbooks has proved problematic for me especially with my work travel schedule. I have fallen behind in the cookie baking schedule this month. I was able to knock these out before my recent trip. I decided to skip the topping for time’s sake. These were easy to make with nice chocolate…

Zan’s Birthday Cookies
To enjoy this cookie you need to be a chocolate and coconut lover. This is a three layer cookie; brownie-like bottom, coconut cream center and a chocolate crumble topping. All the layers need to be prepped in advanced and chilled. I made all three layers in one day and then baked the following day. A…
French Vanilla Sablés
When I looked up our latest baking adventure in Dorie’s Cookies I found that I had made them on 7/4/17. I must have made these on my own but I don’t remember doing it. I was also glad that this was an easy recipe in which I had all the ingredients. I was at home…
Macarons
The Tuesdays with Dorie group made macarons two years ago from Baking Chez Moi. This recipe was a complete success for me and I looked forward to making them again. True to my statement I wanted to make these again and try a different filling. In reading the recipe in Dorie’s Cookies I noticed Mardi…
Almond Crackle Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. These Almond Crackle Cookies are simple to put together as they have only three ingredients; almond, sugar and egg. After reading the reviews of my fellow bakers I decided to do the muffin pan route to prevent the spread from free form but…
Espresso Chocolate Sablés
Coffee. Chocolate. Cookie. Yes Please! All of my favorite ingredients in one cookie, what’s not to like? We have made plenty sables together as a group; both little and big. I don’t think I could pick a favorite but those with chocolate rise to the top. To see what others thought head over to Tuesdays…
Leckerli
I was fortunate enough that my mother-in-law brought over a bag of oranges before I needed to make these Leckerli. Making candied orange peels was a bit of a process but not hard to do, I made 2/3 of a recipe and still had some leftover. This is a plan-ahead cookie, it needs to sit…
Swedish Dream Cookies
I bake on time but I cannot seem to post on time, sigh… This week’s baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie are these Swedish Dream Cookies, a shortbread cookie flavored with brown butter and cardamom. I grew up eating kringle, a Norwegian cookie flavored with cardamom. This recipe is very different from the usual cookie…
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…
Portofignos
Portofignos are a fruit and nut version of Dorie’s World Peace Cookie. The recipe calls for walnuts but I substituted for pecans and I had to substitute the port red wine for Sirah as that is what I had. I actually didn’t taste any of the wine in the baked cookie but no matter these…
