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…

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…

Moka Dupont

Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Moka Dupont is the French version of an American Ice Box Cake. Dorie suggested serving with coffee ice cream but I had vanilla on hand which paired nicely with the chocolate. Dorie states that in France the cake is made with The Brun cookies but they are not readily…

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. My son, not one for compliments, said they are graham crackers but then he ate another one and another one…. I have worked with graham flour before but I…
