This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are doing two for the price of one. The base is a sour cream puff dough that can be made into two different recipes, one sweet and one savory. Up first is the sweet caramel sugar pufflets. This dough is like a puff pastry which I have not…

Natasha’s Mum’s Fruit and Walnut Bread Bars
When I opened the cook book to make these, I knew I was going to have to make substitutions. My husband does not like walnuts so that was first to go, I substituted for pecans. Next was the dried fruit. I did not have most of the fruit listed so I went with what I…
Coconut Patties
I have managed to bake on time for our group but posting on time is proving problematic:) I was happy when these came up for a vote as I had unsweetened coconut sitting around. I also new these wouldn’t be too popular as my family is not coconut lovers. For my citrus flavor I used…
Chocolate Chip Not-Quite Mandelbrot
I am always baking for two families so I made a full recipe. I was pretty sure all would love this one since we all enjoy chocolate. This was a fairly easy recipe as it can be whipped up in one bowl. A full recipe requires three logs but I could not fit all three…
Pecan-Brown Sugar Crack-Ups
This recipe reminded me of another Dorie cookie which can be broken into pieces at the table, Salted Butter Break-Ups from Around My French Table. Given the times in which we live in, these crack-ups probably need to stay home for family only. I thought this was an easy recipe and used one piece of…
Fennel-Orange Shortbread Wedges
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are heading to the back of the book in the cocktail cookie section. This shortbread recipe is made with orange rind and fennel seeds. The most hazardous part of this recipe was finely chopping the fennel seeds, I will be looking for wayward seeds for days. I used…
Matcha-White Chocolate Madeleines
I have made madeleines many times between various Dorie cookbooks, I was intrigued by this tea and chocolate version. I did not have a mini madeleine pan so I stayed with my regular one and adjusted the oven temperature to 400 degrees and baked for 10 minutes. Even though I buttered and floured my pan…
Peanut Brownie Sablés
We have a lot of chocolate/peanut butter lovers in our family. These cookies with a sable base, a brownie twist, peanut butter and chopped peanuts were a big hit. I made the full recipe but gave half to my in-laws and the rest went into the freezer to enjoy later. To see what others thought…
Ms. Corbitt’s Pecan Cake Fingers
The picture in Dorie’s Cookies looked inviting which is why I chose this recipe. This is a different kind of cookie with a base of “marshamllowy, cafe-au-lait-colored meringue” in which flour and chopped pecans are added. The cookie bakes at a low temperature of 275 degrees for a long time 50 minutes. My dough did…
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.
