In this famous and wide-ranging book, you'll find recipes for all the cookies that have made this the land of the cookie-lover. The author, a dedicated cookie-baker, has created best-ever versions of favorite traditional cookies from chocolate chip to gingerbread plus delicious home-made versions of such bakery favorites as ladyfingers and black-and-whites. Here too are treasured family recipes from all over the world, delicious cookies that grandma used to make -- butter jumbles, amaretti, shortbread, rugelach. And there are lots of wonderfully inventive cookies for special occasions, special fun or just good sugar cookie ornaments to hang from the Christmas tree; greeting card cookies for delivering a special message; and entire chapter of sandwich cookies for lunch boxes, snacks and any other time when two cookies--plus a filling--are better than one.
