Dulce de Leche Duos
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Jodie of Beansy Loves Cake decided on Dulce de Leche Duos on page 161 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Have you read California girl Jodie's blog? Always a fun read...although Jodie loves coconut (my arch enemy). Her decorated cakes are really cute!
Because I live in Los Angeles, canned La Lechera Dulce de Leche is easy to find for just a few dollars. Lots of TWD bakers made their own using their ovens, stove tops and crock pots. I just reached for it on the shelf and was happy with that. Opening a can of Dulce de Leche is lovely...the sweet caramel smell is intense and you just try your darnest to not throw a spoon in there and just start eating it!
The cookie (made with dulce de leche) was soft and the dulce de leche in the center? Heaven.
They were GONE at the library. Gone.
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!

Your cookies look great! I couldn't find dulce de leche in the store, but making it wasn't too bad. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I wish one of the cookies would hop out of the screen and I could eat it for breakfast. They look delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies looks good.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are so perfect! Mine were a bit messy. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree that these cookies were delish sans the filling...nice work Mary!
ReplyDeleteThey are like whoopie pies!
ReplyDeleteI want. It's plane food for me for the next 12 hours... :( But I am in Italy now, so I've had a pretty fun few days!
the cookies look just awesome...
ReplyDeleteYum. Yours look great. Just another reason why I need to get to California....more access to Dulce de Leche!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S a nice dark color of DDL! I was one who couldn't find this on the shelf but wish I had. These look great! Mine were gone at the office too - even with the homemade stuff!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them! Now, I'm wondering about next week: you love bundt cakes and hate coconut. What are you going to do?
ReplyDeleteI love how fluffy your cookies are.
ReplyDeleteMine are as flat as a pancake...only flatter.
Your cookies look lovely! I love the comment about coconut the arch enemy. That's totally how I feel- too funny!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I don't even know you anymore man. How could you not fill the cookie with more DDL? That just seems so wrong. Then again you dont' like frosting. It breaks my heart. PS- So Miss Bundt lover, Coconut hater. Whatcha gonna do next week for TWD? ;)

Beautiful cookies! I agree, why risk exploding cans when we can buy it right off the shelf.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cookies! I'm sorry I love coconut, but I also love mochi and layered jello. And I'm Japanese! Does that help? :) Thanks for baking with me!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cookies!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that basket of cookies looks so tempting. And I agree with your assessment -- no reason not to add extra dulce de leche in the filling. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOh, Yeah!! Very tasty. Hard to turn away from. Good with or without the filling.
ReplyDeletePretty cookies.
I bought my dulce de leche and I am not ashamed of it! Haha! Yours look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely cookies, Mary. I have meant to make them for the longest time!
ReplyDeleteOoh, your cookies look great, Mary. Love that first photo and how thick your cookies look. After going to a couple stores, I finally found it canned and was happy to not have to worry about cooking up my own.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, awesome, as always! Your coworkers sure hit the jackpot with you in their library! My sister made these instead of me, probably a good thing because I would have eaten WAY too many!
ReplyDeleteI agree Mary, the cookies were definitely good on their own. I actually preferred them that way! Yours look awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking cookies! I will be sure to try the cookies first without and then with the dulce de leche.
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious! And I don't know what could possibly be wrong with sticking your spoon in the dulce de leche!
ReplyDeleteThey look incredible! I had to do a rewind this week, didn't have the ingredients. Still want to make them though!
ReplyDeleteLove how fat your cookies are, mine were superflat. I preferred them without the dulce de leche filling, with the filling I found them to be too sweet....
ReplyDeleteI love Dulce de Leche! I eat it straight from the jar with a spoon :) I might have to try these cookies!
ReplyDeleteYou'd think I'd be able to find DDL easily here, too (Texas), but it's harder than I expected. I can easily buy La Lechera sweetened condensed milk, but haven't seen their DDL. Oh, well, at least it's not hard to make. =) Your cookies look great!
ReplyDeletethey were a hit with us too!!! nice job :) pretty n puffy
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic! No wonder they disappeared at the library!
ReplyDeleteThese were a very good cookie, filled or not. I tried one filled with ganache and it was so good. And it was really nice of you to share!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you could get store bought DDL in LA. I suppose you'll bake these yummy cookies more often in the future? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!! :) I wish I had used a bit more filling in the center!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed making my own DDL, but if I knew a good brand to buy, I would probably do that just as often - possibly more, and then I'd probably be in trouble! That DDL you bought looks nice and dark - and your cookies look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look fabulous - can't wait to try them as soon as possible. Always love anything dulce de leche so these look mightily addictive :)
