Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Good Better Best Cookies. Dorie provides us three ways we can make these cookies. The plain cookies (na), sandwich cookies with Biscoff filling (better) or sandwich cookies dipped in chocolate (now we’re talking). Any time there is a chocolate option I am going to take it. I made these cookies…

Banana-Chocolate Chaussons
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi A month of Chaussons I had the opportunity to make both chaussons; banana-chocolate and apple. At the beginning of the month I had an abundance of bananas so I made the banana-chocolate ones first. I put the optional Nutella in half of them. I forgot to put the butter…
Toasted Buckwheat and Chopped Chocolate Sables
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi In the past, Sables have been a crowd pleaser cookie in our house so I was pretty sure we were going to like these. This is the first recipe in which I had to toast flour. My son complained of the smell the entire time, an unintended consequence. My…
Moroccan Semolina and Almond Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These cookies required semolina flour. I was unable to find semolina flour in bulk so I bought a package of Bob’s Red Mill semolina flour, 2 pounds of it. Looks like I will be doing more baking with semolina flour. These cookies came together easy with no chilling time which…
Dark Chocolate Mousse
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Dorie states this recipe came from Pierre Herme and it’s a pro’s recipe. Boy, is she right and I met my match with this one. For Valentine’s Day I received a new candy thermometer which might seem like a weird gift but I was happy! Now I could tackle…

I recently cleaned out my spice drawer throwing away all expired spices. My smoked paprika was one of the casualties. I was confident that I could…
Almond Stripes
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Like many of my fellow bakers, I had trouble piping my ‘dough’, more like almond paste. The dough only moistened by one tablespoon of egg white needed much more to extrude through a piping bag. I also needed to bake mine longer than 8-10 minutes. Once baked, Dorie gives…
Date-Nut Pinwheels
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Thank you to Steph who selected these cookies for this month. I think I have been the only one who voted for them. I have quite the stash of dates and was looking for a yummy way to use them up. This is a plan ahead cookie as there are…
Dorie Recipe Round-Up
Tuesdays with Dorie I had wanted to make rugelach this past holiday season so I made Friendship Cookies from Dories Cookies (page 270). I love rugelach and I love chocolate, enough said. I made this Tiramisu Cake from Baking From My Home to Yours (page 266) for my mother-in-law’s birthday. I thought it was great…
Chocolate-Coconut Tart
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I took my fellow baker’s suggestions when making this tart. I made the tart dough and coconut filling the day before then baked and filled the tart the next day. It was quite easy to assemble just need time to chill the tart for four hours. As Dorie mentions,…
