Excerpt: We opened Good Housekeeping The Best-Ever Cookie Book with a mix of anticipation and skepticism, expecting yet another collection of tried-and-true recipes. Instead, we discovered a treasure trove of cookie-lover magic, meticulously crafted for every craving-crispy, chewy, or ooey-gooey. From buttery sugar cookies to molasses-rich spiced wonders, each recipe feels like a collaboration between the editors and generations of home bakers. The book's charm lies in its balance: classic flavors meet modern tweaks, and instructions are clear without sacrificing creativity. We particularly loved the seasonal spreads, which transformed our kitchen into a cozy haven for holidays and everyday indulgence. While some entries leaned towards the nostalgic, others surprised us with inventive twists, proving this isn't just a recipe book-it's a roadmap to cookie perfection. For anyone who views cookies as more than a snack, this volume is a must-have, offering 175 tested recipes that feel both reliable and delightful.
