We all know and love Dorie’s World Peace Cookies, a recipe originally from Pierre Hermé that has been spreading happiness around the globe for more than two decades. We’ve made it twice already in our TWD journey, and I’m pretty sure it’s what’s kept the Earth spinning since the early 2000s. Judging from the sad and scary state of current global affairs, however, it’s clear that we need to take more action– enter World Peace Cookies 2.0.

Dorie has taken her famous sea salt-sprinkled, chocolate chip-loaded cocoa shortbreads and added rye flour, cacoa nibs, a dash of spicy chili pepper and freeze dried raspberries. It’s a bit of an odd-sounding mix, but trust Dorie and you’ll find that everything lives in harmony in this cookie. She gives a bonus tip in one of her newsletters to make slicing the logs of dough, which used to be a messy process, a breeze…don’t freeze the logs rock-solid for hours before you slice them. An hour in the fridge does the trick (even just 30 minutes works fine, I found), and then you can freeze the cookie pucks on a sheet tray before baking. New flavors, new method, and new hope for a new year.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

These are spectacular, Steph! Here’s to happiness and cookies in 2026! PS: new methods to avoid the dreaded frozen crumble are always welcome, huh?

- perhaps slice-and-bakes won’t get the better of me every time now 🙂
