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…

Matzo Morsels
The first night of Passover we were invited by friends to attend their family seder dinner. I made Dorie’s Matzo Morsels for one of the dessert selections. This is the Jewish version of haystacks. Bittersweet chocolate is melted with butter, add crushed matzo, stir until all coated then add dried fruit in my case raisins…
Sunny-Side-Up Meringues
For this first day of Spring, Sunny-Side-Up Meringues. This is a dessert take on “eggs”. The base is a meringue cookie which whipped up pretty easy, most of the work was in the oven. The “yolk” is a mixed citrus curd of lemon, lime and orange. I need to take a master class on curd…
Hamantaschen
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Hamantaschen. I voted for this one to see Dorie’s take on this Purim cookie. I learned how to make hamantaschen from Faye Levy’s International Jewish Cookbook. Her One, Two, Three Cookie Dough recipe has been the staple in my family. I have varied the fillings but…
Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets

I served these Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets with the suggested honey accompaniment and with Limoncello Gin Cocktails. These were a big…
Sebastian’s Remarkably Wonderful Brownies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I knew these brownies would be a hit in my house because there were no “funny” ingredients added. My family are purest and do not like any nuts or add-ins in their brownies. And of course there is only one way to eat a brownie… Sebastian’s Remarkably Wonderful Brownies page…
Chunkers
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Chunkers are sinfully delicious chocolate cookies with cashews, dried cherries and more chocolate. These cookies are a labor of love due to the amount of chopping for all ingredients. The Trader Joe’s bars of chocolate that I buy are thick and create quite a workout for chopping. The cookies are…
Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars
Tis the season… for coughing, sniffing and sneezing. I had been shut-up in the house since before Christmas with a cold and then I managed to give it to my husband for New Year’s. Aren’t I nice? These Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars were a welcome treat. Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars page 65. To see what others…
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…
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Dulce de Leche Filling
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies This past weekend I hosted a friendsgiving and these whoopie pies were one of three Dorie desserts I made. Not one was left on the plate. I thought this was the perfect Thanksgiving dessert. Wonderful pumpkin flavor, loved the cranberries and the filling was to die for. Definitely a make…
