"Do we need another cookie book? As far as I'm concerned, the answer is
always "yes." Here we have the classic cookie food groups (bar, drop,
rolled, slice-and-bake, etc.), but they've been wickedly turbocharged
with unique flavor hacks. Why wouldn't you insinuate a layer of ganache
into your black-bottom lemon squares? Why wouldn't you powder
freeze-dried raspberries for your sugar cookies? And for heaven's sake,
why wouldn't you add milk powder to your browned butter for the world's
most insanely malty chocolate chip cookies? Prepare your secret-stash
cookie jar, folks - you're gonna need it." - T. Susan Chang for NPR
"Delicious and dazzling...for cookie fanatics, this one is sure to be a
hit!" - Publisher's Weekly, starred review
