Lavender-White Chocolate Sables
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. This is one of two recipes in which lavender will be used this month. Lavender is not an ingredient I was used to cooking with but Dorie has introduced it to me in a few recipes. This is the 4th sables recipe we…
Carrement Chocolat, The Simple Loaf
We are a chocolate loving family and I knew this loaf cake would go over well. My son asked if there was any ‘funny’ stuff in it and I said nothing but chocolate. This cake is made very different from other cakes, a food processor is the main piece of equipment. Softened butter, eggs and…
Pink Peppercorn Thumbprints
As I was researching pink peppercorns, I came across this bit of information, “As they are members of the cashew family, they may cause allergic reactions including anaphylaxis for person with a tree nut allergy”. Since my son has a nut allergy I decided to forgo adding the pink peppercorns instead of making yet another…
Puffed Grain and Miso Cookies
I voted for this cookie since I had a container of miso paste in my refrigerator and I was looking for something less sweet after the holidays. I forgot to check the expiration of my miso paste, long expired, so I was out to buy new along with many of the other ingredients for this…
Chunky Chocolate Fruit-and-Nut Bars

I worked with the ingredients I had at home so my choices were: pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, dried cranberries, raisins, one dried fig, candied ginger, dark chocolate and I used sweetened…
Meringue Snowballs
Our next baking assignment comes from Dorie’s Cookies, the perfect dessert for the new year as they are as light as air. Made with few ingredients but takes planning ahead and some extended baking time. The egg whites need to come to room temperature before whipping. Granulated sugar, confectioner’s sugar and cream of tartar are…
Honey-Nut Nougat
Merry, happy, whatever…My co-workers have been sick for some time but I thought I had over come it all. Sadly my body gave up and I got a cold. I managed to make this last dessert of the year before I was too far gone. My lack of experience with candy making made this a…
Touch-of-Crunch Chocolate Cake
When I told my husband what our next baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie he said, “I don’t think I can eat a cake made in a pie plate”. He was kidding of course. It is a chocolate month for us and this one more chocolaty than the last. This is a flourless chocolate cake…
