Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Our second Financiers from Baking Chez Moi. This southern take on a French dessert is made with ground pecans, cornmeal and butter, lots of butter. This is quite a rich dessert and one was quite satisfying. My mini-muffin pan made about 24 with a tablespoon and a half scoop….

Swedish Visiting Cake Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies This is definitely a cake, no bar about it. It is a delicious cake, flavored and covered with almonds. Surprisingly when I cut into it the bottom in the center was a little under done, something I was not expecting. A family discussion concluded that using a glass Pyrex pan…
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies We had a family discussion about cookie versus cake. My son looked up the definition of a cookie “a small sweet cake, typically round, flat, and crisp”. Dorie’s Strawberry Shortcake Cookies almost fit this definition except crisp. This dessert became my family’s Memorial Day treat, it fit the bill of…
Springtime Cookies and Curd
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Springtime cookies and curd was a lovely dessert to usher in the new season. The base of this parfait dessert is double-butter double-baked petit beuree cookies. This is a cookie I have not heard of before nor have I tasted. It was a sweet, crunchy cookie that had multiple…
Vanilla-Brown Butter Madeleines
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies This is my third recipe of madeleines I have made from one of Dorie’s cookbooks and so far they have all been a hit. The latest with a fresh vanilla bean and brown butter was delicious. By chilling the dough over night in the pan, I was able to get…
Apple Matafan
I have never made or tasted a matafan. Dorie describes it as a large apple pancake. In the division of labor in my house, pancakes come under my husband’s job description. I gave him the recipe and said “you’re in charge”. Good timing too as I ended up sick this weekend and probably would not…
Kamish
Kamish, Mandelbrot or almond bread; no matter what you call it, it is a delicious cookie. Dorie says “think of them as the Eastern European version of biscotti” and that is exactly what we thought. Mine even look like biscotti compared to Dorie’s version. These cookies were easy to prepare but you do need plenty…
Viennese Sables
Butter, sugar, flour, the perfect trifecta. These simple butter cookies are my first try at Viennese Sables. When I soften butter for cookies I usually get it too warm but in this recipe it worked. Very warm softened butter is creamed with confectioners’ sugar which was easy to do by hand with a spatula. Additional…
Mocha-Ricotta Puffs
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies My Mocha-Ricotta Puffs are darker than Dorie’s since I used dark chocolate cocoa powder. These are a wonderful mocha cookie, I noticed the chocolate and coffee but not the ricotta. They turned out as Dorie described crunchy around the edges and soft centers. I ended up cooking mine less time…
Pailles
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I had one sheet of puff pastry in my freezer so that was my motivating factor in voting for this one. Also, my husband loves anything with jam. I am a novice when it comes to puff pastry and I think it showed in this dessert. Dorie’s directions were…
