There’s an erasmus girl in my class from Ireland. I actually spent two years living there and, besides people, there is one thing I miss a lot from there: Cadbury’s chocolate. I told her and she brought me a huge tablet… So good!! It was that good that it’s already gone…I wanted to thank her with something simple, quick and yet yummy and...
OK. I’ll admit it. I do have a problem. I can’t stop baking Dorie Greenspan’s recipes. So far all of them turned out great and I’m really excited to be baking along with TWD for this new challenge. However, in the way, and since we’re only doing a recipe every two weeks, I’m also baking other recipes from her other amazing, fabulous, perfect book: “Baking: from my home to yours”.
It was in this book that I found these beauties. The only two things I did differently was that I didn’t add the almond extract (I hadn’t had much luck with it before) and that I used strawberry jam for some of them as I only had enough raspberry marmalade for a few cookies.
They were just so good... I had to stop myself because, although the cookies were for her, I have to admit that I ate quite a few too.
You can check the recipe in the blog "Uglydudefood "
I loved Dorie's thumbprints myself. Yours look tasty!
ResponderEliminarYour cookies are making me awfully nostalgic. I've never made Dorie's recipe, but I used to make "Evelyn's Christmas Cookies" (which are very similiar to these thumbprints) with my mom every December when I was a kid. We used red currant jam, and it was amazing--a good variation for the next time you make them. And as tasty as these look, I can't imagine it will be too long before you make them again!
ResponderEliminarThanks for the tip!!! I've never tried red currant jam but it sounds delicious, now I have a great reason to bake more cookies!
ResponderEliminarWho doesn't love Cadbury chocolate! Your cookies look gorgeous.
ResponderEliminarI do love Dories recipes, she is a master. These were very good. Nothing better that a little (or big) butter cookie filled with jam.
ResponderEliminarThese are also great filled with chocolate ganache. I'm thinking about that Cadbury Chocolate, it is the best.
Have a great week.
