Cookies

This book looks at cookies in all their variety, from chewy to crisp, and at the many ways they are frosted, scooped, stuffed, or formed into balls. Readers will see how cookie shapes, sizes, and flavors differ from one part of the world to another, and will consider why these treats are so appealing in the first place.

The book also explores the role cookies play in the lives of the people who bake them and how modern bakers are reinventing familiar recipes with new twists. Young readers learn about some of the most popular cookies, the ingredients that go into them, and how to make them at home.
