With recipes organized by texture! Flaky, gooey, crunchy,
crispy, chewy, chunky, melt-in-your-mouth . . . Cookies are easy, enticing, and fun. Yet as the
award-winning baker Alice Medrich notes, too often, home
cooks cling to the recipe on the bag of chocolate chips,
when so much more is possible. “What if cookies reflected
our modern culinary sensibility—our spirit of adventure and
passion for flavors and even our dietary concerns?” Medrich
writes in her introduction to this landmark cookie cookbook,
organized by texture, from crunchy to airy to chunky. An
inveterate tester and master manipulator of ingredients, she
draws on the world’s pantry of ingredients for such
delicious riffs on the classics as airy meringues studded
with cashews and chocolate chunks, palmiers (elephant’s
ears) made with cardamom and caramel, and rugelach with
halvah. Butter and sugar content is slashed and the flavor
turned up on everything from ginger snaps to chocolate
clouds. From new spins on classic recipes including
chocolate-chip cookies and brownies, to delectable 2-point
treats for Weight Watchers, to cookies to make with kids,
this master conjurer of sweets will bring bliss to every
dessert table.
