This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. Biarritz cookies are a soft cookie made from almond flour, flour, confectioners’ sugar, butter, milk, egg whites that have been whipped up and sugar. The cookies are then pipped on to a tray. I followed Dorie’s instructions and made my first batch the…

Merveilles
We have another fried dessert on Tuesdays with Dorie. Merveille means miracle and it is a miracle that I made this recipe. The dough is soft and requires two chillings. It is supposed to be rolled until it is paper-thin. My dough kept either sticking to the cutting board or getting holes in it before…
Fried Potato Crackers
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we headed to the Cocktail section of Dorie’s Cookies. These crackers are made with potato flakes, an item I don’t think I have ever purchased before. Dry ingredients of flour, potato flakes, baking powder are mixed together with a little butter, salt, an egg and hot water to form…
Tropical Tartlets
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we have had a tropical theme; mango, lime and coconut. Given that none of us can travel beyond our own backyards we are traveling with our food adventures. These tropical tartlets from Baking Chez Moi live up to their name. The filling is comprised of mango, eggs, sugar, coconut,…
Coconut-Lime Sablés
Our latest baking adventure from Dorie’s Cookies, a tropical inspired Coconut-Lime Sablé. As my husband calls these “confused cookies” since they are made in a muffin pan. Normal ingredients include butter, sugar, flour and tropical ingredients coriander, limes, and coconut (sweet, unsweetened, toasted and plain). There is a lot going on in these cookies which…
Peanut Butter and Fudge Brownies
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…
