American Cookie: The Snaps, Drops, Jumbles, Tea Cakes, Bars & Brownies That We Have Loved for Generations: A Baking Book

Description

A delicious tour of America’s favorite treats, cookies, and candies from the
beloved author of the bestselling Cake Mix Doctor series and American Cake
IACP AWARD FINALIST • “Every recipe comes with a story as delicious as the
small bite it describes. And best of all, every small bite begs to be
baked.”—Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award–winning author of Dorie’s Cookies
Each of America’s little bites—cookies, candies, wafers, brittles—tells a big
story, and each speaks volumes about what was going on in America when the
recipes were created. In American Cookie, the New York Times bestselling
author and Cake Mix Doctor Anne Byrn takes us on a journey through America’s
baking history. And just like she did in American Cake, she provides an
incredibly detailed historical background alongside each recipe. Because the
little bites we love are more than just baked goods—they’re representations of
different times in our history. Early colonists brought sugar cookies, Italian
fig cookies, African benne wafers, and German gingerbread cookies. Each of the
100 recipes, from Katharine Hepburn Brownies and Democratic Tea Cakes to
saltwater taffy and peanut brittle, comes with a lesson that’s both
informative and enchanting. Read more
