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…

Speculoos Panna Cotta

We enjoyed last weeks Nutella-Banana Panna Cotta so much that I decided to do Dorie’s Bonne Idee of Speculoos Panna Cotta. I had a package of Lotus Biscoff cookies that I knew would be the perfect crunchy accompaniment. I waited in a long line at Trader Joe’s for my Speculoos Cookie Butter, as well as…

Nutella-Banana Panna Cotta

This is our third and final panna cotta recipe for Baking Chez Moi and this happens to be my favorite. I really enjoy Nutella and this dessert hit the spot. There were few ingredients but each required a separate dish so this was a dish plenty recipe. Gelatin was bloomed in one dish. Milk and…

Garam Grahams

Once upon a time…before coronavirus, I could buy groceries that I needed. Now, grocery shopping seems to be the most challenging thing to do. I have been looking for our key ingredient, garam masala, since before the coronavirus outbreak but my husband reminded me that I could just make it at home. He was right,…

Coco Rochers

Having just finished Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme, which required 4 egg yolks, I had 4 egg whites to make these cookies. These are really for the coconut lover. I had to go out and buy unsweetened coconut for this recipe, Dorie says “sweetened coconut won’t give you the right texture.” This is a simple…

Almond Crescents

My husband’s favorite nut is the almond. They show up in his granola, with a meal think trout amandine and in his desserts. I voted for these knowing that they would hit the spot. These are fairly easy to put together butter, sugar, salt are blended until smooth and then vanilla and almond extract are…
