This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is basically a giant version of Dorie’s famous “Jammer” cookie (which I have had the pleasure to enjoy) so I mean what could go wrong?
Interestingly, this would have been the perfect recipe to “minify” as I am wont to do but for some reason, I had my heart set on making a full-sized version of this. Next time, though, I’ll be making the smaller cookie-sized version (though I know it’s a little fiddly from reading other people’s posts).
You start out by making a shortbread-y cookie dough for your base then freezing it after you’ve rolled it out (the dough is very sticky). Then you’ll spoon some jam (I used fig) over the top, sprinkle the jam with a streusel mixture and bake it up…
It’s buttery, soft, crunchy and crumbly all at the same time. Melt-in-your-mouth stuff.
I loved the large-sized version of one of my favourite cookies – it’s great to slice and serve (and it lasts a few days at room temperature too) so would be wonderful for company. I do, however, have my eye on cookie-sized jammers in the very near future though… A(nother) definite winner from Baking Chez Moi…

Looks great. This was easy to make and I love that I could make the crust and the streusel in the same bowl. Not so much washing up.
What a great idea to use fig jam! I will have to try this instead of the strawberry Jame next time.

Looks wonderful. I loved how you can make the crust and streusel ahead of time. Lovely!
this is a great combo, big or small! fig jam sounds delicious here.
Wow! Your galette looks perfect and sounds delicious with the fig jam! Cookie-size jammers sound like a great idea, too!
The fig jam sounds like a delicious filling. I have plans to make the cookies as well since the galette was such a big hit.
This was terrific, wasn’t it. Definitely a winner for me.
Your galette looks absolutely perfect and delicious. I bet fig jam made it extra tast.

Mardi, Your tart looks fabulous! Can’t wait to give it a try.
This was a hit in my house too. I served it for a dinner party and not a crumb left.
Fig jam was a great choice for this tart. I used some homemade jam that was due to be used up. This will be my go to for using up jam in future – it’s a perfect showcase for any flavour.
I am regretting that I haven’t made this wonderful looking dessert yet. I will have to find a reason to make it soon! Fig jam sounds like a delicious choice.
Fig jam sounds extra-classy! And your jammer galette looks super-yummy!
