As I was researching pink peppercorns, I came across this bit of information, “As they are members of the cashew family, they may cause allergic reactions including anaphylaxis for person with a tree nut allergy”. Since my son has a nut allergy I decided to forgo adding the pink peppercorns instead of making yet another…

Puffed Grain and Miso Cookies
I voted for this cookie since I had a container of miso paste in my refrigerator and I was looking for something less sweet after the holidays. I forgot to check the expiration of my miso paste, long expired, so I was out to buy new along with many of the other ingredients for this…
Meringue Snowballs
Our next baking assignment comes from Dorie’s Cookies, the perfect dessert for the new year as they are as light as air. Made with few ingredients but takes planning ahead and some extended baking time. The egg whites need to come to room temperature before whipping. Granulated sugar, confectioner’s sugar and cream of tartar are…
Snowy-Topped Brownie Drops
This recipe is all I hoped it would be; chocolaty, chewy goodness. This is the brownie version of a crinkle topped cookie. Made with eight ounces of bittersweet chocolate, this is not for the faint of heart. We are chocolate lovers and these are disappearing fast in my house as well as the milk. To…
Chocolate-Pecan Pie Cookie Bars
Every year I host a friendsgiving and it is always bigger than my Thanksgiving. I bake our November selections every year and Dorie’s desserts are always a crowd pleaser. This year I picked these chocolate-pecan pie cookie bars to share. The base of the cookie is Dorie’s sweet tart dough partially baked. The topping is…
Smoky, Cheesy Cookies
Back to the cocktail section this week on Tuesdays with Dorie. These smoky, cheesy cookies were a hit in my house. Thumbs up all around. We enjoyed this cheese cookie better than Parmesan Galettes which we made last month. All agreed the Parmesan Galettes were too rich. These cookies are a mix of smoked Gouda…
Parmesan Galettes
The Parmesan galettes are part of Dorie’s Cookies cocktail cookies section. There are just three ingredients to these galettes; flour, butter and Parmesan cheese, lots of Parmesan cheese. The dough made in a food processor and chilled for 1-2 hours comes together easily. I made my galettes free form as I had no patience for…
White Chocolate and Poppy Seed Cookies
This week for Tuesdays with Dorie, we are making cookies. A rolled cookie dough using Dorie’s Do-Almost-Anything Vanilla cookie dough with the addition of white chocolate and poppy seeds. As with most rolled cookies, you need to plan ahead for chilling time. My first batch I cooked for 19 minutes, burned. The second batch I…
Cocoa-Almond Uglies
A chocolate and almond lovers dream cookie. These cookies get their almond flavor from almond flour and slivered almonds. The chocolate flavor comes from some cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate. In the instructions, Dorie asks that you press the confectioners’ sugar, almond flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt through a fine strainer. I had trouble getting…
Sweet Cream Cheese Honey Nut Wafers
My husband coined these open faced rugelach. He is right as these have cream cheese dough like the famed rolled cookie. Dorie states you can make these savory or sweet. I went with the sweet route since one of my friends just gave me a jar of homemade fig jam. I made a half recipe…
