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…
Chocolate-Cranberry and Almond Cookies
I was not particularly looking forward to these but boy was I wrong. These were delicious cookies that were praised by all. Of course the almond lover thought they were grand. These are quite sophisticated with a nice snap which did not get soft over time. Definitely a make again recipe.
Lucky Charm Brownies
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking brownies, very chocolaty brownies. These are a flourless brownie that is more fudge-like than cake-like. My husband’s favorite part were the amaretti cookies, as you can see he went plentiful on top, no scales were involved for amounts. These were very tasty but very rich. To…
Friendship Cookies
Friendship cookies AKA rugelach are a cream cheese and butter dough filled with dried fruit, jam, nuts and chocolate. We have baked rugelach cookies before; this is the same recipe as in Baking From My Home to Yours and Rugelach That Won Over France from Baking Chez Moi. I haven’t met a rugelach that I…
Mint Chocolate Sablés
Like Is This A Keeper, me and my son’s favorite flavors are mint chocolate chip especially ice cream. I was really looking forward to this flavor combination. Like all Sablé cookies, the dough is made, rolled and chilled either in freezer or refrigerator. Kim had mention that she baked them free form instead of muffin…
Raisin Bars
My husband’s two favorite food items are raisins and almonds. I think his head was going to explode with both ingredients in one cookie. I took the easy route and made the raisin filling and cookie dough the night before and then baked the next day. The chilled dough took a bit of time to…
