 Zan happens to be a very lucky person and it involves these cookies. This was one of my favorite cookies from Dories cookies. Chocolate and coconut and more chocolate crumbles. A little labor intensive but definitely worth it! Loved these! Zan’s Birthday Cookies. #doriegreenspan #doriescookies #tuesdayswithdorie

  For this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie selection, we have cocoa cayenne cookies from the cocktail section! These are hot hot hot! It kind of sneaks up on you. I liked these as a novelty but it’s definitely not your everyday cookie. This would be good to make for a friend who loves cocoa and heat or it could be a funny practical joke and call them a chocolate cookie (not a lie!) April fools day is coming up! Side note not necessarily about the cookie and sort of involving politics, so feel free to move on and have a cookie. I have to say, I baked all the cookies in Dorie’s Cookies already, and I did it with the intention of venting my frustrations and outrage with our former US President, and also baking and eating cookies, and I posted a blurb about the days events (there was always something, as you may remember). Well, the event of the day that I made these cookies was the arrival of a mysterious new coronavirus and the beginnings of what was yet to come! (It was February 2020). We we

 For todays Tuesday with Dorie selection: Swirled. Spiced. Sour Cream. Bundt Cake. I am soooo glad to see people again! Went to a family party and I was delegated to make the dessert! Yay! Everyone enjoyed this cake, Twas moist and flavorful. I didn’t Use all the swirl because I wasn’t as aggressive with it the first go around. 2nd time around there wasn’t enough of the last layer of cake to cover it- it was still delish but I’m left wondering what could have been. Either way, bundts are beautiful!  #tuesdayswithdorie #doriegreenspan #bakingwithdorie

  Today’s Tuesday with Dorie selection comes from Dorie’s Cookies! Leckerli, which are spicy bar cookies, were a tasty addition to my Xmas cookies a few years back. I enjoyed these cookies, but these were actually pretty labor and time intensive for me to make them again. I’ll eat them again for sure!  #doriescookies #doriegreenspan #tuesdayswithdorie

 This week-actually a couple weeks ago but I forgot to post- I made “whip it up quick cornbread” from Baking with Dorie. This is a simple, easy, quick recipe. I added in some scallions and bacon- frying the bacon in the skillet before putting in the bread. This was not how Dorie said to do it, so I take full responsibility in the overly bacon flavor of the whole thing. I know bacon flavor sounds good to some people- to me, it was too smoky and overpowered the whole thing. Live and learn! Anyway, I slathered it in too much butter, which I tend to do sometimes, and I served it with cast iron oven fried chicken from americas test kitchen (so good and easy!) and a salad(also good and easy!).  #bakingwithdorie #doriegreenspan #tuesdayswithdorie

 This week’s selection for Tuesdays with Dorie is a treat from her pal Mary, and they’re called Mary’s Maine Bars. As others have mentioned, these aren’t really cookies, but rather more like a cake, cut into squares. No matter- cake is good, too! I added the blueberries in her playing around ideas. I’m glad I did, because they benefitted from a bit of juicy goodness. Did I mention I made these in August when blueberries were popping? 😋 #doriescookies #tuesdayswithdorie #doriegreenspan
