Over 250 Delicious Recipes from Simple to Sublime
by Tish Boyle
Review
Every cook needs a reliable source for cookies for when the cookie mood strikes us! With a terrific selection of recipes that work every time, along with great photographs, The Good Cookie is our favorite from a field of many. The Good Cookie by Trish Boyle is a solid collection of recipes, instructions, and tips for creating a variety of cookies.
Boyle brings her experience as a pastry chef to provide 250 recipes including fresh takes on old standards such as Colossal Peanut Butter Cookies, Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, and more international fare such as Triple-Ginger Pecan Biscotti and Bittersweet Chocolate Biscotti. She also includes plenty of sophisticated choices such as Chocolate-Filled Almond Hearts. “Equipment”, “Ingredients”, and “Techniques, Tips, and Troubleshooting” chapters explain exactly what to do in the kitchen, when to do it, and why. And, solutions to common baking problems (What to do with dry or crumbly dough? Or tough, hard cookies?) help ensure a successful batch every time.
