Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies


      The 73rd recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie group is Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies and can be found in the Baking with Dorie cookbook on page 151. 

       Ingredients: flour, baking soda, butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs, chocolate pieces, and walnuts.
       This recipe came together easily with ingredients I normally have on hand in the pantry. I did take the time to get some good chocolate in chunks to chop rather than just tossing in chocolate chips which is what I usually do, so I’m thinking I’m a class above in chocolate now.  The recipe suggested using a scoop with a capacity of 1-1/2 Tablespoons and to bake the cookies 2” apart…these cookies do spread and as you can see, there are three cookies on a regular size dinner plate, they are rather large. Not that Mark was complaining, he thought the size was just great. I made half a recipe for 18 cookies, enough to keep him happily munching through the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament on tv for the next 6 days (three cookies per day, we shall see how that goes). 
       Is this a repeat-worthy recipe? Absolutely, definitely making these again, they might actually be his new favorite.
       If you would like to join in, just make it, bake it, and leave a link to your post at the Tuesdays with Dorie website: tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com. At the website you will find the postings for the current recipe, the list of recipes chosen each month, and some baking chit chat that is definitely helpful as well as fun.  We don’t publish Dorie's recipes here, but you can buy the book and have them ALL at your fingertips.

    Ha Ha! Three cookies a day? If Mark has that kind of willpower for these cookies, good for him!!

      LOL, that's why I wrote about seeing how that will go...I think the cookie consumption might depend also on how his teams do in the tournament. Thanks for stopping by. :-)

    These definitely spread too much for my liking and never got even the slightest bit crispy (it's very humid here in Sydney so maybe a contributing factor). Glad Mark likes them - I think we all have our personal fave CCC, mine are still my mum's.

    I thought of you when making this recipe as I know of Mark's fondness for chocolate. These were spreader cookies. My half a batch disappeared quickly too. You seem to be doing fine with the new blog, don't worry.

Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie's Anytime Cakes: Cocoa-Swirled Pumpkin Bundt

Image
          The first recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie: Dorie’s Anytime Cakes group is Cocoa-Swirled Pumpkin Bundt and can be found in Dorie Greenspan’s newest cookbook, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Today is the launch day for Dorie’s new cookbook and the launch day for this new group at Tuesdays with Dorie , now also baking from this book on the third Tuesday of each month.          Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Salt, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chips, Flour, Baking Soda, Ginger, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Neutral Oil, Brown Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla, Pumpkin, and Confectioner’s Sugar.          The first thing I asked myself when I saw this recipe was, “Do Pumpkin and Chocolate actually go together?’ Mark assured me that he thought they did and that I should bake on. We decided that a half recipe made in 6 cup bundt pan would be an appropriate size so I just halved the ingredients, it all fit perfectly fine, and the cake b...

Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - Custardy Apple and Kale Cake

Image
       The 72nd recipe I made with the  Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie  group is Custardy Apple and Kale Cake and can be found in the  Baking with Dorie  cookbook on page 334.           Ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, onion, kale, eggs, milk, apples, and cheese.        This is not what you would think of when you hear the word “cake,” but it looks like what you think of when you hear the word “cake,” so I was eager to make this and see what it was all about…turns out it was all about being savory and delicious.         I’m not sure I’ve had a “savory cake” before, definitely not one that tasted like this as it kind of reminded me of a quiche with a different texture and no traditional quiche crust, maybe like a crustless quiche actually.  The combination of ingredients reminded me of an apple/kale/cheese/onion salad that ...

Beginning Again

          After blogging at Typepad.com for 18 1/2 years, in August the company announced that they were ceasing business and those of us having accounts would need to find another space. Originally I thought maybe I would just call it a day, end of an era. The main purpose of my blog was to participate in Tuesdays with Dorie , baking with the group since 2008, enjoying the friendships made throughout these years, dear to my heart. The group is currently baking and blogging through Dorie's book Baking with Dorie .         Coming out this fall, Dorie Greenspan has a new cookbook ( Dorie's Anytime Cakes ), and Steph, finding herself with an extra copy, in her generosity, offered it to me. Thank you ever so much, Steph. And, well... If you give a girl a book, she's going to need a blog to go with it (to paraphrase If You Give a Mouse a Cookie ). I'll be needing a blog to keep participating. Goodbye, Typepad, it was a lovely run, and I'm so...
