The Cookie Bible

"Smartly organized by technique (e.g., hand-rolled, dropped, shaped, etc.) this collection boasts some 150 recipes, measured by weight and volume with Rose Levy Beranbaum’s trademark precision. Some old friends from previous Beranbaum Bibles are here (including my all-time favorite cookie, a fussy apricot-chocolate dreamboat called “the Ischler”), but also a generous helping of newcomers, like Caramelized Maple Macadamia squares, Turkish Ginger Lime Cookies, and the adorable-sounding Banana Custard Cuddle Cookies. All in all, this is one of the more delicious ways you can put on a layer of winter padding."
