America's favorite bakers turn a fresh eye on cookies—
everyone's favorite homemade treat. Drawing on the same commitment to the home-baking community
that has earned them hundreds of thousands of dedicated
followers, the bakers at King Arthur Flour guide you
through hundreds of recipes, revealing the secrets to
making your own mouthwatering cookies for any occasion. The bakers begin by singling out the "Nine Essential
Cookies" and variations that reflect a variety of tastes,
textures, and ingredients: * brownies
* sugar cookies
* chocolate chip cookies
* shortbread
* oatmeal cookies
* peanut butter cookies
* molasses-ginger cookies
* biscotti
* decorated cookies From whoopie pies to ladyfingers, it's all here in one
place. The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion includes full
chapters on drop cookies, roll-out cookies, shaped cookies,
batter cookies, no-bake cookies, and bars and squares. You'll find complete instructions for making cookie icings,
fillings, and dips. You'll find a thorough overview of the
essential ingredients of cookie baking, explaining the
chemistry of flours and grains, leavens, sweeteners, fats,
dairy products, flavorings, and the science of how these
ingredients work together. You'll also learn tips on
substitutions and variations; measuring and weighing
ingredients; even advice on high-altitude baking. Recipes
are enhanced with sidebars providing hints, shortcuts,
troubleshooting advice, and recipe lore. And each recipe is
accompanied by a complete nutritional analysis.
Illustrations throughout the book provide clear step-by-
step instructions that take the mystery out of such baking
terms as "creaming," "soft-ball stage," and "folding."
Finally, a comprehensive illustrated chapter describes the
essential baking tools you'll want to have on hand. 150
line black & white illustrations.
