This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking brownies, very chocolaty brownies. These are a flourless brownie that is more fudge-like than cake-like. My husband’s favorite part were the amaretti cookies, as you can see he went plentiful on top, no scales were involved for amounts. These were very tasty but very rich. To…

Friendship Cookies
Friendship cookies AKA rugelach are a cream cheese and butter dough filled with dried fruit, jam, nuts and chocolate. We have baked rugelach cookies before; this is the same recipe as in Baking From My Home to Yours and Rugelach That Won Over France from Baking Chez Moi. I haven’t met a rugelach that I…
Mint Chocolate Sablés
Like Is This A Keeper, me and my son’s favorite flavors are mint chocolate chip especially ice cream. I was really looking forward to this flavor combination. Like all Sablé cookies, the dough is made, rolled and chilled either in freezer or refrigerator. Kim had mention that she baked them free form instead of muffin…
Raisin Bars
My husband’s two favorite food items are raisins and almonds. I think his head was going to explode with both ingredients in one cookie. I took the easy route and made the raisin filling and cookie dough the night before and then baked the next day. The chilled dough took a bit of time to…
Pain de Gênes Buttons
Call me crazy but these are not cookies especially since Dorie says they are “a cross between a sponge and a pound cake”. These little almond buttons were for my almond-loving husband and he even helped by making the almond paste for me. We had almond flour in the house and with the addition of…
Honey-and-Tea Jammers
This cookie recipe was a team effort. I have been working and traveling (for work) and I knew I wouldn’t get it done without some assistance. My husband had the day off of work so he assisted in making the cookie dough, rolling it out and refrigerating it. All I had to do the next…
Thanksgiving Bars
Even though the season is autumn, it still feels like summer in California, triple digits are way too common. I always enjoy fall baking recipes and this one from Dorie’s cookies was right up my alley. My husband was lucky enough to find frozen cranberries, fresh have not hit the stores yet. Making homemade cranberry…
Popcorn Streusel Tops
These popcorn streusel tops are packed with corn flavor from cornmeal, corn kernels and popcorn. I was up to the challenge of all the ingredients. The shortbread base of these cookies include flour, cornmeal, butter, sugar an egg, vanilla and corn. I bought a fresh ear of corn to use since it was still in…
Classic Brownies
There is only one way to eat a brownie in our house and sans nuts please. Delicious, classic and make again. Head over to Tuesdays with Dorie to see what others thought.
Biarritz Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. Biarritz cookies are a soft cookie made from almond flour, flour, confectioners’ sugar, butter, milk, egg whites that have been whipped up and sugar. The cookies are then pipped on to a tray. I followed Dorie’s instructions and made my first batch the…
