Gourmet Cookie Book - A New Favorite Cookbook

Ranked #14,419 in Food & Cooking, #253,371 overall

Welcome to my Holiday Gift Guide!

Every cook I know has lots of cookbooks. Here's one more that is a worthy addition to any cookbook library.

The The Gourmet Cookie Book: The Single Best Recipe from Each Year 1941-2009 includes cookie recipes through the 68 years the magazine was published. This book shows our history, told via cookie recipes.

This book was featured on the CBS Sunday Morning program on December 19, 2010.

It will be featured on a kitchen counter near you, when your lucky baking gift recipient (and perhaps you as well) has it open to the next recipe they're enjoying, in their next cookie baking session.

Amazon's Review of the Gourmet Cookie Book

Gourmet magazine cookie coverYou'll want this book for yourself, as well as for gifts, when you read what Amazon said about it...

"For this stunning collection, the editors of Gourmet delved deep into their archives and selected the most delicious cookie for each year of the magazine's sixty-eight-year existence. After marathon testing sessions and winnowing from thousands of recipes-many sent in by readers-they chose an amazing array, from the almond-scented French-style Cajun Macaroons, from the magazine's beginnings in 1941, through Mocha Toffee Bars (1971), to the contemporary Glittering Lemon Sandwich Cookies. The enticing assortment includes:

"Cookies of every type and description, from the homey (Aunt Sis's Strawberry Tart Cookies) to the exotic (Grand Marnier-Glazed Pain d'Epice Cookies), including balls, bars, refrigerator cookies, drop cookies, even deep-fried cookie confections.

"Cookies from around the world, from Dutch Jan Hagels to Irish oatmeal sandwich cookies filled with cream and Irish whiskey, to Scandinavian Rosettes.

"Dozens of Christmas cookies: Old-Fashioned Christmas Butter Cookies, star-shaped Moravian White Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Bar Cookies.

"Printed exactly as they originally appeared in the magazine, with abundant tips and recipe notes from Gourmet's test kitchen, and with headnotes describing their cultural context, the recipes present a fascinating bite-by-bite history of how our appetites evolved."

    My favorite cookie book is my mother and grandmothers cookbook. Over the years, they have collected and perfected so many wonderful family favorites. I have to say that no other cookie book, including ones with beautiful pictures takes their place.
