The Gourmet Cookie Book: The Single Best Recipe from Each Year

The Gourmet Cookie Book: The Single Best Recipe from Each Year 1941-2009

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 recipesâ€”many sent in by readersâ€”they chose an amazing array, from the almond-scented French-style Cajun Macaroons, from the magazineâ€™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 Sisâ€™s Strawberry Tart Cookies) to the exotic (Grand Marnier-Glazed Pain dâ€™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 Gourmetâ€™s test kitchen, and with headnotes describing their cultural context, the recipes present a fascinating bite-by-bite history of how our appetites evolved.
