This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies is super simple – dangerously so in fact… I’m crazy busy working on my manuscript, trying to get organised for my trip to Lyon at the end of the week (shooting photos for the book!) and tidying up other loose ends that come with end-of-term but I managed to sneak in a half-batch of these during a writing break on the weekend.
These are basically a thick shortbread disk (galette) shaped into a log, sliced and baked in muffin tins. When they are just out of the oven, you take a cork to the centre of the cookies to make an indentation in them which will later be filled with jam. Sounds simple, huh?
Ok, looking good, huh? Kind of. My cookies look a little more crumbly and cracked than Dorie’s do in the book and that’s just when they were in the tins… When I tried to take them out of the tins, I realised that I hadn’t actually buttered them. The cookies were REALLY hard to pry out (and these muffin tins are generally very non-stick).
Crumble, crumble, crumble… I lost a few in the process 🙁
And mine definitely were not as pretty as Dorie’s were 🙁 But the flavour? SO good. Buttery and a little salty and a little sweet from the jam.
I’ll be making these again when I have a little more time on my hands. Easy to make, cute to look at and tasty to eat – what’s not to love?!

We loved these too! So yummy!
Weren’t they buttery and delish?
Yes, these were easy to put together which I enjoyed. Good luck with the photo shoot and I hope you can rest a little on your trip.
No rest until after April 3rd but it’s a different environment so I say a change is as good as a holiday!
Your galettes look great from here. Have fun on the photo shoot.
Thanks so much 🙂
OK, Mardi… they look good. Send some down under.
Mum has the recipe 😉

Thanks! I was there last summer and fell in love!
Don’t worry G I will be making these.
You’ll both love them!
They look perfect!
Thanks – not quite but pretty tasty!
These are terrific cookies – I’m so glad I have another log of this dough in the freezer! Have a wonderful time in Lyon.
Oh I wish I had another log of this dough in my freezer!
Those look perfectly delicious. The Man said they were good. I will have to trust his judgement.
I’ll need to make them again!
