Portofignos are a fruit and nut version of Dorie’s World Peace Cookie. The recipe calls for walnuts but I substituted for pecans and I had to substitute the port red wine for Sirah as that is what I had. I actually didn’t taste any of the wine in the baked cookie but no matter these…

Grain and Seed Muffins
These Grain and Seed Muffins went with me to work, I shared them with a meeting after the New Year. I guess my co-workers were not into healthy or they were still full from the holidays as only half disappeared. My husband and I enjoyed the rest. These wheat bran muffins are a bit on…
Bruno’s New Year’s Waffles
Happy New Year! Here’s hoping to a better 2022. Bruno’s recipe has justified the purchase of the pizzzelle maker. These were delicious and a great recipe to start off the new year. I made the dough in advance as it needs to sit overnight. My husband the waffle expert was in charge of cooking them….
Mokonuts’ Rye-Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Wow these were so good. Everyone loved them when I served them for dessert. I think these may be my husband’s favorite cookie, he ate two and wanted another. I think it is safe to say that I will be making these again. My husband seems to think that we have baked with rye flour…
Mulled Wine Jammers
Mulled Wine Jammers are perfect for any holiday cookie plater but this recipe requires planning ahead. I made all the components the night before baking; streusel topping, mulled wine and jam, French Vanilla Sable dough. This is a complex cookie with 3 layers of flavor. My jam-loving husband enjoyed these and I thought they were…
Apple Pandowdy
For this single-crust dessert, I decided to use a leaf cookie cutter. It is hard to see but I thought it was a cute addition to this fall dessert. I tried to keep some open space so the juices could evaporate since there was no thickener in this recipe. Mine did not brown much because…
English Muffins
Our second assignment for Baking with Dorie are these lovely English Muffins. I have never made English Muffins before but my husband had. We teamed up to make these since it was quite the process. We made these all in one day but probably should have stretched it out over two, we were grilling English…
Coco-Almond Thumbprints
For this week’s cookie I had to ignore Dorie’s recommendation not to use almond flour. I have a 3 pound bag of almond flour that I need to use before it expires. The shredded coconut is the only texture my cookies will have. It occurred to me later that I could have rolled them in…
Cherry-Nut Chocolate Pinwheels
Chocolate and cherry the perfect combination. The only ingredient I needed to complete this recipe was the dried cherries. I headed to my local Trader Joe’s for a package. I thought it would be easy but there were several kinds of dried cherries. I ended up choosing Tart Montmorency and that was the right decision….
Miso-Maple Loaf
And we are off and running with Dorie’s latest book Baking with Dorie. The book releases October 19 and Tuesdays with Dorie is celebrating the release with baking one of the recipes. This recipe is a unique take on the loaf cake made with miso, maple syrup and orange. This was delicious and I could…
