BWD: December Recipes and P&Q

With lots of holidays coming up fast, it probably makes sense to settle on December’s schedule now. Let’s go with the below two recipes!  I’ve tacked on links to find the them on-line if you don’t yet have a book, but feel free to e-mail me at awhiskandaspoon@gmail.com if you can’t access them.

Mokonut’s Rye-Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies, p 163 (NYT)
Cheese Puffers, p 342 (The Providence Journal)

We’ll post from Baking with Dorie on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month (12/14 and 12/28), and if you are a blogger, there will be a post here to leave your links on those days. If you are an IGer, please tag #tuesdayswithdorie, #bakingwithdorie and @doriegreenspan. You decide the order in which you bake the recipes. This post will also double as our P&Q (Problems & Questions), so if you have any questions or advice, leave it all right here!
