Sheet Pan Sweets

Molly Gilbert offers more than 80 recipes for desserts that come together in one pan, presented as the first cookbook devoted to that approach. Most of the sweets need little more than a baking sheet and a hot oven, and the ingredients are simple to find.

Gilbert, who previously wrote Sheet Pan Suppers, now turns her attention to baking. The collection includes cakes, cookies and bars, pies, galettes and tarts, along with a few plain breads and breakfast treats. Something for every kind of occasion, whether a party or an afternoon snack, is included.

The recipes mix nostalgic favorites, such as Kitchen Sink Cookies and her son Jack's Chocolate Chip Cake with Fudge Frosting, with more inventive creations like the Dozen Donut Cake and the Pumpkin Tiramisu Roll. Anyone who enjoys sweets will find plenty to try.

The paperback has rounded corners, runs 240 pages, and measures 7 x 9 inches.
