This week on Tuesday with Dorie we are divining deep into chocolate, thank goodness for Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Chocolate Bars. These fudge brownies have a whopping 17 ounces of chocolate and butter, lots of butter. When my husband read the recipe he said “these are going to be rich”. This is a three layer…

Ladyfingers
When these ladyfingers were assigned for Baking Chez Moi I knew I would be making something with them. I picked Raspberry Tiramisu en Verrine from Around My French Table. This is a layered dessert a verrine (short glass). Ladyfingers are brushed with kirsch, framboise or creme de cassis or in my case Chambord. The raspberry…
They-Might-Be-Breakfast Cookies
I was a member of a committee at my son’s school. This was a 7 AM meeting so I tried to bring some baked goods, mostly muffins, when I attended. The attendees were always grateful. This recipe from Dorie’s Cookies caught my eye so I tried these instead of muffins. These were a soft and…
Fruit and Nut Croquants
Fruit and nut croquants are everything my husband loves in a cookie; orange, almond and raisins. I used all the optional ingredients in this cookie; orange rind, nutmeg, almond extract and cloves. I took Dorie’s advice “go heavier on the nuts than the fruit” and added 5 ounces of whole almonds with skin and 3…
Chocolate Pot de Crème
Tuesdays with Dorie members were tasked with making Tea and Honey Pots de Crème this week. Since I have not been fond of our latest tea flavored recipes I thought I would make one of Dorie’s Bonne Idee. There were three to choose from; vanilla, chocolate and caramel and I chose chocolate. As expected these…
Salt-And-Pepper Sugar-And-Spice Galettes
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we have a simple recipe with ingredients that most of us have in our cabinet. My family and I have decided we don’t like black pepper in our cookies, we have made a few over the years, so I left out the black pepper. The other spices include cinnamon,…
Martine’s Lemon and Apple Tart
I am posting late this week, Thursdays with Dorie?, because I wanted to make this tart for my anniversary which happens to be today. This monumental year of 2020 is having me celebrate all kinds of milestones at home. I can also see my planned vacation, a cruise, vanish before my eyes. But on to…
Every-Way Shortbread Fans
For this recipe I had to turn to Dorie’s “playing around” section. I had fully intended to make the lemon-poppy seed version but I discovered that I did not have poppy seeds or lemon extract. I did have, on the other hand, orange extract so I went with orange shortbread. I would have preferred to…
Green Tea Sablés
We have made several sable recipes over the years from Baking Chez Moi and this will be our last. The basis of this cookie is like most; butter, sugar, flour, salt but the secret ingredient is green tea leaves. This recipe is different from the rest as it does not have an egg which made…
Little Rascals
I voted for these jam filled sandwich cookies because my husband loves jam, I had jam to use up and I had all the ingredients to make them, a win-win-win. The German name for this cookie is Spitzbuben translated as little rascals. This is a new cookie for me. I made one substitution, my husband…
