About The Joy of Cookies:
A celebration of favorite cookies, classic and new, from James Beard Award-winning baker Joanne Chang. It started with a chocolate chip cookie, the first she baked as a child with her mother. Chang opens with a baker’s dozen of baking questions to help home bakers avoid mistakes, then moves through cookies of every kind, from drop cookies and bars to sandwich cookies and savory bakes. Alongside the recipes are stories of the cookies, the people behind them, and her baking journey. Every cookie is photographed.
