La Maison Des Biscuits~












I don't know how this cute stamp ended up in our home..
Okay..a new Renaud-Bray opened up in a close radius to our home and I had to wait 1  1/2 hrs for an appt.in the same vicinity.. cute little book..stamp..cutter and decorator..all packaged up in a cute little house.
I was a realtor for 28 years..I'll blame it on the fact that I have a  penchant for cute homes..
This one fits the bill..the door with the  fan window..the large window with the teapot and dessert..a hanging sign..lampstandard..awning at the front..
Too cute.
I used one of the recipes in the small French book..
Thank goodness I have baked before..
These are a type of Dulce De Leche cookie..the recipe said to add one jar to the mixture..

not so fast Larousse..The DDL goes IN between the cookies..nit IN the recipe..



You can leave them single.. but this recipe needs the filling I find..not too much but just enough to give it the DDL taste..after all that is the recipe.
Imprint is clear and sharp.
If I had a shop I would have these at the counter..Under a pretty cloche..♥
And I would serve pretty teas..
And I would have flowers in the shop..and the softest music playing~



Coup de ♥~

La Recette~

Courtesy of that cute little book there..again..there is an error in la recette..and the book is not all geared for stamping..


Ingredients..


Dulce De Leche

100grams of softened butter
 250 grams of flour
1 egg
100 grams brown sugar
pinch of fleur de sel

Cream butter and sugar add egg then salt and flour..the flour..start with 200 grams..and add if you feel the mixture needs it..I did..
Again these were not their directions..
But it worked for me..
Bake at 350 for ap 15 minutes..  mine took less..

Place a dollop od Dulce De leche between 2 cookies..and there you have them:)
I won't give you a rundown on how to use a stamp..you must be tired of hearing my method by now..
It's different f you live with me and I repeat myself..you get used to it I guess after 40 yrs..but if we just visit each other..you could find it terribly tedious..:)
PS..
I am at a loss since my new computer stepped foot here..
What looks right sized on the new computer appears so large here..
Give me time..
I will get used to it..
On the new computer..the fotos are full size..

On my netbook..as I check..half the photos are missing..size wise..
How about you?:)
Thank you..

  3. They're so cute! Glad you were able to figure out the DDL mixup. I wish I could find that stamp here. I ordered the cute Eiffel Tower one after you posted them quite a while ago.

  4. Bonjour ma chère Nana,
    Je viens de noter ta recette car tes biscuits me semblent succulents. Comme j'adore ma pause thé à l'atelier avec une jolie tasse et of course des douceurs, ces petits biscuits seraient parfaits !... Le plus est évidemment la finition avec ce joli décor sur le biscuit. Comment te procures-tu ce "tampon" ? ou d'autres ?...
    Une très jolie publication... je viendrais bien partager une tasse de thé avec toi !
    Gros bisous

  6. Nana, dear - those are perfect little cookies! And so tidy and pretty with that delicious filling. I never knew you were a realtor but I am in love with houses, just like you. My father was an architect, so houses and design were part of my life, always. Happy good morning to you and I just checked - the weather IS getting better, slowly.......

      I admire architects..having viewed many styles from the 1800's to brand new here.. Architecture has always intrigued me.
      Have a penchant for older..a big penchant..
      I know..I have been following our elections in a small way..only to see who is ahead..and the weather:)
      Heating costs were up this yr for certain!

  11. Another sweet cookie stamp to add to your collection, Monique. Finding a dough that holds its design is a real challenge. I'm sure the filling adds a nice bit of flavor. You are the perfect person to have a charming little shop of your own.

  14. Adorable cookies, Monique! But, all of your cookies are adorable :) You have such a wonderful collection of stamps and molds. I'm sure those grandsons of yours love coming over for milk and cookies - they are always in for a treat. Better than Oreos to say the least! They baked beautifully and the stamped image so clear. Love the cute house and the box they came in is charming.

    I am having a hard time with my old computer with a new Windows operating system. Photoshop is wacky and my pictures are filed so crazy. I will get used to it too. You photos look just fine to me (and beautiful).

  15. Oh Monique, another beautiful post. If you had a shop I would be your best customer. I need to look into stamps. I just ordered some pastry tip because I have had the urge to decorate cookies and cakes.

    Don't forget Call the Midwives will be on Sunday. I can't wait.

  23. If you had a shop, I would come & bask in the beauty of all of the individual beautiful things & in the ambiance...and I would carefully, lovingly select a gift or 2...Your home customers must have enjoyed working with you because of your love of homes! The cookies & the little package: adorable! (I would have guessed that you were a professional photographer...perhaps you were also...)
