Description:
An exciting and definitive collection of the nation's best cookies–a must-have for every baker. Celebrate regional gems like Key Lime Frosties and Pennsylvania Dutch Soft Sugar Cookies, homespun classics like Whoopie Pies and Caramel Apple Crumb Bars, and devastatingly delicious contemporary creations like Cranberry-Cherry Icebox Ribbons and Chewy Chocolate Megamorsel Monster Cookies. A hazelnut sandwich cookie that was the closely guarded secret of an Oregon hostess is here, and so is a whisper-thin spice cookie recreated from a handwritten 1880 cookbook. Included as well is a chapter on cookie decorating and crafts, from simple projects like Christmas cookies to a fancy gingerbread house.
