Hello, friends. Surprised to see my name pop up in your inbox today? I’ve missed you, too. I go back to December all the time. Consider this my official petition to make every week Cookie Week. The joy I feel listening to Mariah Carey while I scoop dough onto a sheet pan should not be bound by space and time.
I’m gearing up for summer baking with Eric Kim’s frosted sugar cookies (above), flavoring the frosting with honey and freeze-dried strawberries for the Cowboy Carter party I’m having this Saturday. I may even make some salted margarita bars, because a long weekend means an extra day for baking!
I didn’t choose the cookie life; the cookie life chose me. So much so, in fact, that I wrote a whole book devoted to cookies.
Drumroll, please! Introducing “Cookies: The Best Recipes for the Perfect Anytime Treat,” out Oct. 28! Curated by yours truly, “Cookies” stars 100 of my favorite New York Times Cooking recipes, including a few of my own creations, some Cookie Week faves and even a couple of new recipes I developed for the book.
There are tried-and-true classics that will have Grandma shaking in her boots and showstopping, dazzling recipes that will make the neighbors jealous. We run the gamut of flavors: spiced and spicy, tart and fruity, rich and chocolaty, nuanced and nutty. (Whispers) There’s even a whole chapter dedicated to chocolate chip cookies.
With recommendations to help you decide on a cookie, along with colorful commentary from our Cooking community, “Cookies” has a treat for every mood and moment. Preorder your copy here, because you (and your luckiest friends) deserve all the cookies. And keep your eyes peeled: You haven’t heard the last from me! We love a sneak peek around here.
