Cookies & Crumbs

This one’s been living on my kitchen counter since it arrived, and I’ve already dog-eared half the pages. The layout makes it easy to jump between the gooey classics and the chunkier new ones, and the coffee numbers alone are worth the shelf space.

The gooey versus crunchy breakdown at the start actually taught me which doughs to chill and which to bake straight away. Made the peanut butter ones and they came out chewy in the middle with crisp edges, exactly as described.

The coffee cookie recipe alone was worth the price of this book, deep roasty flavor without being too sweet. I like that it splits classics like peanut butter from the new stuff, so there's something for whatever mood I'm in.
