Crazy for Cookies, Brownies, and Bars contains 85 recipes showing you how to make cookies in batches big or small and offers expert tips on how to store them so they stay fresh for a long time. It will guide you in taking your cookie skills in new directions, into the delectable world of brownies, blondies, shortbreads, cookie cups, cookie cakes, and more.
The first chapter, Cookie Jar Favorites, will feel like home with the familiar yet jazzed-up flavors of Chocolate Chip, Sugar Cookies, and Peanut Butter. From there you’ll go on a sugary journey, stopping for Mint Chip Brownies or Triple Decker Cookie Bars, enjoying Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups and even an entire chapter of no-bake cookies. Then you will stretch your imagination and creativity by making some of the crazier cookies: Fruity Pebble and Lime in the Coconut Cookies, stuffed cookies and sandwiched ones too. And not to be left out: there are even a few cookies for your pups – our dog Abby joined in with three of her favorite homemade dog treats!
There is something for every cookie lover in this book, from traditional favorites to some extra crazy cookies and all the deliciousness in between
My goal is to inspire you to enjoy cookies in a whole new way and use the recipes in this book to create memories with your friends and family, creating new crazy cookie lovers along the way.
