Cookbooks
For this stunning collection, the editors of
Gourmet delved deep into their archives and selected
the most delicious cookie for each year of the magazine’s
sixty-eight-year existence. After marathon testing sessions
and winnowing from thousands of recipes—many sent in by
readers—they chose an amazing array, from the almond-scented
French-style Cajun Macaroons, from the magazine’s beginnings
in 1941, through Mocha Toffee Bars (1971), to the
contemporary Glittering Lemon Sandwich Cookies. The enticing
assortment includes Cookies
of every type and description , from the homey (Aunt
Sis’s Strawberry Tart Cookies) to the exotic (Grand
Marnier-Glazed Pain d’Epice Cookies), including balls, bars,
refrigerator cookies, drop cookies, even deep-fried cookie
confections. Cookies from
around the world : from Dutch Jan Hagels to Irish
oatmeal sandwich cookies filled with cream and Irish
whiskey, to Scandinavian Rosettes.
Dozens of Christmas cookies:
Old-Fashioned Christmas Butter Cookies, star-shaped Moravian
White Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Bar
Cookies. Printed exactly as they
originally appeared in the magazine, with abundant tips and
recipe notes from Gourmet’s test kitchen, and with
headnotes describing their cultural context, the recipes
present a fascinating bite-by-bite history of how our
appetites evolved.
