TWD: Dulce De Leche Duos


Mmm, yea, finally we're making cookies again at Tuesday's with Dorie. Jodie of Beansy Loves Cake decided on Dulce de Leche Duos for this week's recipe. Thanks Jodie, these were fantastic!

I had planned on including a photo of a big overflowing plate of cookies, but they disappeared so fast I only had two left!

By themselves, the cookies weren't terribly exciting, but once they were sandwiched with a layer of dulce de leche between... that made all the difference. They softened up too, even the slightly overbaked ones (not that I overbaked any, coughcough).

OK, that's about it, folks! If you'd like to try them, please check out Jodie's blog or find a copy of Dorie Greenspan's book, "Baking, From my Home to Yours".

P.S. Sorry for the short posts lately, I've been spending more time working out than baking and blogging lately. Seems all of this baking can actually make you gain weight! Go figure!

  2. Wow. Your cookies turned out perfectly round and not as flat as mine. I'm jealous! Great job.

  3. Blogging and baking is fun but working out I think is better in the long run. I'm working on that more, too. We'll see! Your cookies look delicious and I'm glad they were a hit!

  7. Yes, nice round cookies -they look perfect! I agree, the DDL filling really MADE these cookies. It was hard to stop eating them while filling! Nicely done!

  10. Your cookies look gorgeous! I've been forced to spend more time working out lately. I've dug out my old Cindy Crawford workout dvd, I swear by it when my jeans get a little too tight!

  11. My overbaked ones got softer, too! That makes these magical cookies! Haha! Yours look fantastic!

  12. I can relate to the need to work out. I've been seriously questioning if I should keep doing this!! Especially since my coworkers have forbidden me to bring any more sweets for awhile.

  15. Great looking cookies! If I spent the time working out that I spend on cooking and baking I'd look better than I did when I was 16!

  16. Beautiful cookies! I felt the opposite way you did - I enjoyed the cookies on their own but with the dulce in the middle, I found them too sweet. To each his own :) Good for you on the working out - I should be doing the same!

    I know, who knew that about the baking and weight gain and WHY didn't anyone tell me! ;)

  23. How funny that there were only a couple left to photograph, they look yummy! Nice job on the working out; I recently realized how the baking groups take their toll on your weight.

  29. Hahah, it's funny you mention overbaking, because I was wishing I'd baked mine longer so they got crisper! Different strokes, I guess...
