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.

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

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…
Two-Bite One-Chip Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These Two-Bite One-Chip Cookies were a big hit in my house. The dough is wonderful with some whole wheat flour and a little cinnamon. Dorie suggests chilling the dough for 2 hours before scooping. I found the chilled dough easy to work with. I have a one teaspoon cookie scoop so…
Babas au Rhum
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I tried for the first time a babas au rhum on our cruise earlier this year and ever since I have wanted to make these. According to Dorie, “babas au rhum have been around for about three hundred years. The baba is a tight-grained yeast-raised cake that is soaked…
