Rosie's Bakery Cookie Book

Additional Details

Description: From the zweiback of her babyhood to the sugar cookie Valentines that launched her award-winning career to the trays of imaginative sweet mouthfuls found in each Rosie's Bakery, cookies have been her passion. Now baker and cookbook author Judy Rosenberg shares her obsession in this exuberant book. 

Rosie's Bakery Chocolate-Packed, Jam-Filled, Butter-Rich, No-Holds-Barred Cookie Book is a cookie lover's extravaganza filled with recipes, step-by-step instructions, professional baking tips for home cooks, and generous tidbits of cookie wisdom. Setting out with a twofold mission -- to provide the only recipes you'll ever need for old stand-bys, plus to add a generous heap of new possibilities -- the author presents 150 recipes for pure treats organized according to cookie texture and baking technique. 

Here are cookies that are formed and cookies that are dropped, icebox cookies and sandwich cookies. Here are "Chewy Crunchy" -- Fudgie Wudgies, Banana-Nut Chocolate Chunks, Hazelnut Macaroons. "Crispy Chompy" -- the wonderful world of shortbreads, crisps, florentines, and spritzes. "Cakey Cookies" -- essentially miniature cakes, like Half Moons and Carrot Cake Cookies. There are brownie bars, pastry bars, and linzer bars, and a special chapter featuring holiday favorites, from Gingerbread People to Cream Cheese Rugalach. 

Judy Rosenberg's first book, Rosie's Bakery All-Butter, Fresh Cream, Sugar-Packed, No-Holds-Barred Baking Book, was praised as "an unabashed love letter to the sweet, rich, and affordable things in life" (Chicago Sun-Times). With few things in life more sweet, rich, or affordable than a homebaked Rosie's cookie, here's the perfect companion volume, a love letter for novice bakers and cookie experts alike.
