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…

Father’s Day Blueberry-Cherry Pie
Pies are beloved in my house. Every year I make a cherry pie for summer and a blueberry cranberry pie for winter. These are our favorites and I have tried and true recipes. Dorie’s Father’s Day Pie combines two of our favorite berries into one pie. I am used to using pectin as a thickener…
One Big Break-Apart Chipper
Our latest cookie recipe comes from Dorie’s latest book Baking with Dorie. This espresso, cinnamon and cardamom flavored cookie is rolled into one big cookie. I did not worry about shape or size when I rolled it out but when I went to fit it into my baking pan it did not fit. I trimmed…
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…
Asparagus-Lemon Quiche
My husband and I recently went out to our local French restaurant and had quiche. My husband enjoyed his but I was not impressed with mine, I knew I could make one better. We have made our share of quiches and tarts over the years and I looked forward to our latest recipe. I decided…
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…
Mochaccino Muffins
Coffee, coffee, coffee. Buzz, buzz, buzz. They don’t call me CafeMom for nothing, I love me a good cup of Joe. Combining my two favorite foods chocolate and coffee this recipe has cocoa powder, ground coffee, coffee extract and semisweet chocolate. The ingredients need to come to room temperature before baking so planning ahead is…
French Riviera Lemon Tart
It is good to be in the Riviera! I have been baking tarts à la Dorie for decades now and I thought I had made them all but this lemon tart is very different from all the rest. Starting with the crust I have not made one with olive oil before. Dorie’s sweet tart dough…
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…
Cottage Cheese Biscuits
Who doesn’t love a good biscuit and these were good. It has been a long time since I have had biscuits so this was a nice treat. I made mine about 2 1/2 inches and we each had 2 with our meal. I am traveling this week for business, I managed to knock these out…
