James Beard Award-winner for Best Baking and Dessert Book 2017
All-new collection from a "revered icon" and "culinary guru" (New
York Times).
Over the course of her baking career, Dorie Greenspan has created more
than 300 cookie recipes. Yet she has never written a book about
them--until now. To merit her "three purple stars of approval," every
cookie had to be so special that it begged to be made again and again.
Cookies for every taste and occasion are here. There are company treats
like Portofignos, with chocolate dough and port-soaked figs, and
lunch-box Blueberry Buttermilk Pie Bars. They Might Be Breakfast Cookies
are packed with goodies--raisins, dried apples, dried cranberries, and
oats-- while Almond Crackle Cookies have just three ingredients. There
are dozens of choices for the Christmas cookie swaps, including Little
Rascals (German jam sandwich cookies with walnuts), Italian Saucissons
(chocolate log cookies studded with dried fruit), and Snowy-Topped
Brownie Drops. And who but America's favorite baker could devise a
cookie as intriguing as Pink-Peppercorn Thumbprints or as popular as the
World Peace Cookie, with its 59 million Internet fans?
