Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi My second turn at making granola this month and this time I was more successful. Dorie’s detailed and easy to follow recipe made for a great batch of granola. The key for me was adding the sweetened coconut at the end of baking, I added it at the last…

Chunkers
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Chunkers are sinfully delicious chocolate cookies with cashews, dried cherries and more chocolate. These cookies are a labor of love due to the amount of chopping for all ingredients. The Trader Joe’s bars of chocolate that I buy are thick and create quite a workout for chopping. The cookies are…
Real Hot Chocolate
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I make hot chocolate all the time, usually for my son, but I make it with nonfat milk and cocoa powder. Dorie’s version with whole milk and melted bittersweet chocolate was really a treat. This rich chocolaty hot beverage was a welcome drink on a rare cool night in…
Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars
Tis the season… for coughing, sniffing and sneezing. I had been shut-up in the house since before Christmas with a cold and then I managed to give it to my husband for New Year’s. Aren’t I nice? These Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars were a welcome treat. Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars page 65. To see what others…
Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate is my favorite flavor and I have never met a truffle that I didn’t like. Ina’s chocolate truffles were easy to execute and delicious to eat. Ina uses a combination of bittersweet and semisweet chocolate. I substituted my trusty Trader Joe’s dark chocolate which I believe is 60-70% cocoa. Along with heavy cream the…
Cocoa Linzer Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This is the second linzer cookie I have made recently. I think rolled and filled cookies are the essence of the holiday season. I let my husband choose the filling. Dorie had chocolate or jam options. We went with traditional raspberry filling. These cookies have the makings of everything…
Princeton Gingersnaps
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Ah, now it is the holiday season. Nothing like the flavors of ginger, cinnamon, cloves and molasses to usher in winter. Last year I made Dorie’s Speculoos and my husband proclaimed “that is what a good cookie should taste like” so I was pretty sure that my husband would love…
Brown Sugar Tart and Desert Roses
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Brown Sugar Tart Desert Roses I recently hosted a friendsgiving and served both of these desserts to my guests. It is nice not to have to think up a dessert. First up Brown Sugar Tart. I voted for this one since we made the Caramel Tart last year and…
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Dulce de Leche Filling
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies This past weekend I hosted a friendsgiving and these whoopie pies were one of three Dorie desserts I made. Not one was left on the plate. I thought this was the perfect Thanksgiving dessert. Wonderful pumpkin flavor, loved the cranberries and the filling was to die for. Definitely a make…
Kerrin’s Multigrain Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These multigrain chocolate chip cookies were a big hit even without the secret ingredient kasha. I was unable to obtain the correct brand and size that Dorie recommended so I just left it out. The substitution is finely chopped toasted nuts but I wanted my son to be able to…
