Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies<\/a><\/em> (2010) Alice Medrich<\/p>\n

\"Chewy<\/a>I love Alice Medrich’s Cookies and Brownies<\/a><\/em> so much that the pages fell out of my original copy. So how could I resist a new–and LARGER!–cookie book?<\/p>\n

So what do we have? ~340 pages of recipes with plenty of notes and pictures and options and alternatives for those recipes. There are also updates to most of the recipes found in Cookies and Brownies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The layout of this book is by cookie texture, so you can browse for a recipe based on your cookie preferences. I actually have another book with a similar setup to this, and it’s as good as any other arrangement for a cookie cookbook.<\/p>\n

The ingredients are given in both volume and weight measurements, which I love, since I try to measure everything by weight anymore (except for very small measurements, like teaspoons and tablespoons, because my scare isn’t that precise).<\/p>\n

There is also a lovely reference section in the back. Living in a small town, it’s sometimes difficult to find ingredients that are even slightly unusual (although this has gotten much better in recent years), so it’s nice to have internet and mail-order options for ingredients.<\/p>\n

There are also multiple gluten free recipes. I noted this because I have friends who cannot eat gluten. Of course, those friends also don’t bake, but that’s neither here nor there. <\/p>\n

I have thirteen recipes marked that I really REALLY want to try, a couple of which are revamped from Cookies and Brownies<\/em>, but most are new to me, including Chocolate Pudding Bars, which look amazing.
\nRating: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
