These dry, crumbly Italian cookies are not pretty to look at but do taste good. The almond lover in my family especially liked them. Luckily I was a bit lazy when clumping my dough together and that worked to my advantage. I also ignored the directions of taking the biscuits out of the pan. I…

Three-Way Sugar-Cone Pizzelles
I put my husband in charge of this one for two reasons: first he is the official waffle maker of the family (this is a fancy waffle maker) and two he is an engineer. His previous experience with the waffle maker proved valuable and his meticulous engineering brain molded those cones with precision. Win-win in…
Sour Cream-Everything Seed Knots
Part two of our sour cream puff dough challenge. Since I love everything bagels, I have had my eye on this recipe for some time. Dorie states “These cookies give the everything bagel a run for its money”, I am on the right track. I was more successful with rolling this dough the second time…
Caramel-Sugar Pufflets
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…
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…
