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…
Chocolate and Walnut Bars
This week’s selection for Tuesdays with Dorie is a bar aka cake that Dorie describes as “pleasantly dry, sponge texture.” This is Dorie’s version of a Roman dessert she liked. I had to make changes right from the start. I have a Costco size bag of almond flour so I substituted the walnuts for almonds….
Rousquilles
Instead of making little wheels (rousquilles means little wheels) I made hockey pucks. Since 1 3/4 inches seemed so small to me I didn’t feel like doing the center cut out. The first batch I made I cooked the full 18 minutes, this resulted in burnt cookies. So Mardi you are not alone with the…
Torta Sbrisolona
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…
