Shop Notes:
I've been a huge fan of Dorie Greenspan for years and years and her World Peace Cookie (on the front cover) has appeared on my Christmas cookie trays for years to joyous exclamation from all.
What's more, every sable recipe is a must-have and the savory cookies have appeared at Friday night cocktails more times than I can count. In short, this is an incredibly useful cookie book on many levels.
From the Publisher:
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?
