Crumb-Topped Apple Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I made these for a dinner party I was attending. My husband said “the apple bars are getting rave reviews”. And sure enough they all disappeared. This was a great ending to a bar cookie that got a rocky start. I had a few challenges this week with this recipe….
Brown Butter Peach Tourte
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Tourte is French for pie. This was a lovely peach pie with Dorie’s magical sweet tart dough. The partially baked bottom tart was filled with summer’s sweet peaches covered in brown butter. With the addition of a little sugar, a little flour, a dash of vanilla and a squirt…
Graham Cracker Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I made graham crackers! This was a fun and delicious snack. My husband thought they smelled wonderful baking in the oven.

These are an amped up oatmeal cookie with chocolate, raisins and cinnamon. These were enjoyed by those who like oatmeal cookies. I would make these again. To see what others thought go to the Tuesdays with Dorie blog roll. Crash-O-Cookies page 365.
Double-Corn Tea Cake
When this corn cake came out of the oven my husband asked if he could have some, I often bake and release so he wanted to make sure. I said yes as I figured a picture of a cake sliced open would be better than a loaf. Three slices later, I now felt like I…
Anytime Tarragon-Apricot Cookies
Another cookie from the cocktail cookies section. The goat cheese and chive cookies were a big hit in my house especially with my son. I was able to find Turkish apricots in my local grocery store. They were soft so I skipped the soaking instructions. Finely chopped tarragon is rubbed with the sugar and creamed…
Lavender Galettes

Rub sugar, orange zest and lavender flowers together. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in the olive oil and vanilla. Finally knead in…
