When I caught wind of an entire cookbook decided to cookies I knew I had to get my hands on it! The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando (which is available today) is an amazing cookbook decided to reinventing some of your classic cookie favorites!
As with ANY good book review, I knew I had to try out some of the recipes (I know… hard job isn’t it ;)). I am officially out of my cookie coma and ready to share some of my favorites.
Before, I talk about the cookies themselves I have to tell you how much I love the book. The book is so cute and has a vintage feel to it. Not only does it have great cookie photography, but the little notes and suggestions from Stacy are awesome. You also have an area after each recipe where you can write down your own notes and believe me you will use it because Stacy gives great advice on how to reinvent each cookie recipe in the book.
If your looking for an out of the box idea for your wedding a cookie dessert table is perfect. The book is sectioned out into 6 different parts from Buttery Cookies to Spicy and even Nutty and Seedy Cookies. You will be able to get your guests going back for thirds with with a cookie dessert table.
The first cookie I baked was Poppy Seed Squares dipped in Chocolate (pictured above). Every recipe has easy to follow directions and variations that can be added.
One recipe you will have to try is Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink Cookies. This sweet and salty cookie has an entire list of mix-ins that can be added. From Cool Ranch Doritos to Wasabi peas take a chance and be adventurous with this recipe… trust me you will LOVE them!
The classics like sugar cookies, animal cookies, gingerbread men also have creative ways to make them even tastier. You will find yourself going back to this book over and over again trying out different cookies.
Be careful… this book will give you a cookie coma and its SO worth it! 🙂
The Cookiepedia was published by Quirk Books and is available for purchase on Amazon. This book is a MUST have!
Happy Baking!
