Whether you are a chocolate chip or an old-fashioned gingersnap, this
is the only cookie book you'll ever need -- from one of the best bakers
of all time.
Maida Heatter is one of the most trusted and beloved cookbook authors of
all time. Her recipes, each a modern classic, have inspired
extraordinary bakers such as Dorie Greenspan, Christina Tosi, and
Smitten Kitchen's Deb Perelman, whose foreword introduces the joy of
Maida's cookies to a new generation.
Maida knew that cookies are the key to happiness, and she always kept
them nearby: a fudgy, minty Palm Beach Brownie in her purse, neatly
wrapped in cellophane, a batch of Absolutely-the-Positively-Best
Chocolate Chip Cookies in the freezer, or a box of delicate brandy snaps
ready for an elegant gift.
Now, Cookies Are Magic collects nearly 100 of Maida's very best
recipes from her legendary (New York Times) 50-year career-her
crispiest, crunchiest, and most ooey-gooey cookies, bars, and more.
Developed for foolproof baking by anyone, each recipe is written with
Maida's warm but no-nonsense instructions and carries her guarantee that
it will work perfectly every time. Filled with classic sugar cookies,
tart lemon bars, cookie kisses, and chocolate and peanut butter ripples,
this is the only cookie book you will ever need.
