A huge amount of the snowpack has melted, but fortunately, we&#8217;ve been having warm wind that evaporates everything &#8211; no rain &#8211; so even though there are some [deep] puddles in the streets, and lake on the sidewalk, the water&#8217;s staying out of our basements, mostly.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to bake an assortment of Valentine&#8217;s cookies &#8211; one Martha, and the other two <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doriegreenspan.com\/\">Dorie Greenspan<\/a> &#8211; sort of. The Martha recipe is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/recipe\/raisin-heart-pockets\">raison heart pockets<\/a> &#8211; I had made &amp; liked for <a href=\"http:\/\/debslunch.blogspot.com\/2009\/02\/goddamn-cat.html\">Valentines 2009<\/a> &#8211; and nice to see that I did the same things this year &#8211; didn&#8217;t bother to pure\u00e9 the filling, didn&#8217;t bother to roll out the dough between sheets of wax paper.<\/p>\n<p>One of Dorie Greenspan&#8217;s famous cookies is the World Peace cookie, a chocolate on chocolate slice &amp; bake, that looks like <a href=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/h7PQoKOoWarDyo-nkV1fNZS_drAKtM-Cx7yJNgAIIMMTRBcSFkqFSEYBojLkE_SKLqsea-PyW_2U7A=w330-h220\">I have been making since 2007<\/a>. Some time ago, I found a couple of variants that another baking blogger had posted, caffeinated world peace, and the one I tried, peanut butter. I didn&#8217;t have mini-peanut butter cups to throw in; I used chopped up Mr. Goodbars &#8211; Hershey milk chocolate with salted peanuts. I thought they were just OK, but I really made them for peanut butter &amp; chocolate loving Al &#8211; and he liked them. He forgot his cookie box when he left to drive back to the twins Sunday afternoon, but he&#8217;ll be passing through on the way to camp next Friday, so I stuck the box in the fridge &#8211; it&#8217;ll be perfect car food.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefeast.com\/newyork\/CookieBar-Baking-With-Dorie-Greenspan-115580549.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Dorie's jammers\" src=\"http:\/\/doriegreenspan.com\/assets_c\/2011\/01\/CookieJammers%20red%20jam-thumb-330x261-1486.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The other Dorie cookie I made is <a href=\"http:\/\/doriegreenspan.com\/2011\/01\/were-back-well-were-almost.html\">her jammers<\/a> &#8211; the cookie she says came to her in a dream &#8211; sables topped wth jam and streusel. She sold them at her pop-up cookie stand, last week in NYC. This is truly a great cookie &#8211; in the movie, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarabeth.com\/\">Sarabeth<\/a> (who made the jam) says  she wishes it were hers. I used the butter sables from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcat.org\/oclc\/63277821\">Baking from my home to yours<\/a>, two kinds of jam, American Spoon ginger pear, and Smuckers seedless raspberry &#8211; and streusel from my favorite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingarthurflour.com\/recipes\/blueberry-crisp-recipe\">King Arthur Flour blueberry crisp<\/a>. I am jealous though &#8211; you&#8217;ll see in the movie that when Dorie et al were doing the production baking for the pop-up, they had rings to place around each cookie to keep it perfectly round and contain the jam and streusel.<\/p>\n<script>\/* <![CDATA[ *\/ portfolio_slideshow.slideshows[39] =
