With bolder-than-ever flavors and spectacularly scientific techniques, cookies have truly never been more fabulous. One of NPR's "Books We Love" 2022 "Do we need another cookie book?

Why wouldn’t you insinuate a layer of ganache into your black-bottom lemon squares? Why wouldn’t you powder freeze-dried raspberries for your sugar cookies? And for heaven’s sake, why wouldn’t you add milk powder to your browned butter for the world’s most insanely malty chocolate chip cookies? Prepare your secret-stash cookie jar, folks – you’re gonna need it." - T.
