Notes about Recipes in this book

• (Maybe) the best chocolate chip cookies [David Leite, Jacques Torres]

  • Darcylynn on January 08, 2026

    I admit, I used a bit less chocolate and only did 50g cookies?. Can’t imagine 100 gram cookie, it would be huge.

  • stevensolarz on January 11, 2026

    Reduce chocolate to 350g

  • krista_nne1g9 on February 12, 2026

    Used combo of semisweet chips, bittersweet chunks, schaerfen berger 62% bar chopped, and handful of leftover chopped pistachios. Dark brown sugar. Rested full 72 hours. 100g each , 350 convection x about 14 minutes….new favorite, hands down - need no other

• Rye-cranberry chocolate chunk cookies [Dorie Greenspan, Moko Hirayama]

  • annabelle_dc3563 on April 05, 2026

    I didn’t chill the dough overnight, just put it in the fridge for a couple of hours then made walnut-size balls. Really good!

• Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies [Yossy Arefi]

  • krista_nne1g9 on February 07, 2026

    Not much going in the “looks” department but holy sh*t these are good, which is surprising given there is no egg or butter. I did not use the vegan chips - just regular semisweet chips. Definitely worth making especially if you have overripe bananas laying around; it’s like peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread but in cookie form ????

• Piloncillo chocolate chip cookies [Rick A. Martínez]

  • Kinhawaii on February 04, 2026

    Yummy, I like how the different sugar changes a familiar cookie into an interesting variation. I used the already grated or granular form of piloncillo so didn’t have chunks of it. I also made slightly smaller cookie & scooped it before refrigerated the dough. I will make these again.

• Kitchen sink cookies [Julia Moskin, Erin Gardner]

  • EmilyR on November 16, 2025

    These are best fresh as they dry out quite a bit. It's a mish mash kind of thing, so success depends on ingredients used.

• Salted butterscotch chocolate chunk cookies [Vaughn Vreeland]

  • carlos_jobw02 on January 15, 2026

    Way too sweet IMO. Even with the added salt on top

• Peanut butter blossoms [Ron Lieber, Freda Smith]

  • blairla on January 18, 2026

    Very mid recipe. I’ve had far better examples of this classic cookie. Skip this and ask your grandma or even just look at the back of the Hershey Kiss bag. Also just a note for rolling cookies in sugar — do not use a super fine crystal brand like Dixie Crystals. The sugar will absorb into your dough. Use a brand with a bigger crystal like Domino.

• Snickerdoodles [Samantha Seneviratne]

  • carolfo on March 22, 2026

    Buttery sugar cookie, rolled in cinammon sugar. Leave space on cookie sheet. A great nostalgic cookie of childhood.

• Chewy lemon-rosemary cookies [Clare de Boer]

  • michelle_vbpx6p on January 15, 2026

    Dough would need to be much colder for them not to spread into one big cookie at that weight, placement, and sheet size. Flavor is a great combo though.

• Pink Grapefruit bars [Jesse Szewczyk]

  • EmilyR on November 13, 2025

    I would recommend rotating your pan at some point in this process because half of mine were set and the other side of the pan oozed a bit after 12 hours of chilling. Good flavor and pretty little treats. The strawberry powder sugar helps cut the bitterness.

• Lemon-turmeric crinkle cookies [Eric Kim]

  • EmilyR on November 16, 2025

    I like these, but I have another recipe that I like a bit better, but these are delicate and easy to eat.

  • anna_43dpwg on May 26, 2026

    Bright and cakey

• Blueberry-lemon almond cookies [Vaughn Vreeland]

  • bwhip on November 06, 2025

    My wife bought some frozen wild blueberries at Costco the other day, so I decided to try this recipe. Turned out great! Super lemony, and the tiny, sweet blueberries were perfect, as you get several in every bite. I left out the almond extract, since my wife doesn’t care for it. We’ll make these again for sure.

• Strawberry jam bars with cardamom [Yewande Komolafe]

  • annabelle_dc3563 on April 05, 2026

    So good!! I increased the cardamom to 3 tsp, but it could have had even more. I mixed the cardamom in with the flour. I used the jam I had on hand which was peach-raspberry.

• Frosted sugar cookies [Eric Kim]

  • rittingerv on February 04, 2026

    Dough: extremely sticky - definitely needs the freezer time and could longer in there too. Frosting: used freeze-dried strawberries instead which eliminated the need to sift out seeds, and allowed me to pulse the berries with the powdered sugar to a very fine texture. It’s quite tasty - I just wish freeze-dried fruit wasn’t quite so expensive.

• Matcha Latte cookies [Eric Kim]

  • Aubr3yy on March 06, 2026

    These cookies were a really fun project. The frosting is very unique in that it takes a lot of time but it is so worth it at the end. The matcha cookie is delicious and the flavor isn't too overpowering or bitter.

• Pistachio pinwheels [Claire Saffitz]

  • annabelle_dc3563 on April 05, 2026

    Really good, not as complicated as I thought it would be!

• Neapolitan checkerboard cookies [Sue Li}

  • krista_nne1g9 on February 02, 2026

    Recipe is really fun - definitely takes some precision measuring though! (I used a carpenter’s square lol) The one issue I had was the hydration of the dough for the cocoa and Berry dough - i could not get it to come together so ended up putting it back in mixer and adding 1 tsp at a time of heavy cream until I could get it to adhere to itself enough to roll out. Overnight refrigeration is a must! I ran out of freeze dried strawberries so I made up the difference in raspberries and they were still good! After baking, I gave them a confectioners glaze with a little vanilla bean paste for a nice sheen before bringing them to an event ??

• Gochujang caramel cookies [Eric Kim]

  • EmilyR on November 16, 2025

    These are wonderful. The flavors are unique and have just enough spice to make them warm and special.

  • Aubr3yy on March 06, 2026

    These cookies are legendary around my friends and I! For every get together, these cookies are a must :) they're chewy and the gochujang caramel swirl is delicious with just a bit of heat.

  • christine_esuqap on May 03, 2026

    These are amazing. So unexpected!

• Chewy Earl Grey sugar cookies [Yossy Arefi]

  • EmilyR on November 16, 2025

    I am on this perpetual hunt for cookies that have a very distinct earl grey flavor. I think I am going to have to use some bergamot extract.

• Chocolate-cherry ginger cookies [Yossy Arefi]

  • djnielsen64 on January 11, 2026

    These are a favorite, I’ve made them several times.

• Double chocolate chip cookies [Samantha Seneviratne]

  • EatinSnax on January 28, 2026

    These are gorgeous, and super indulgent. A big cookie you can sit down to like a proper dessert. I enjoyed them most when they had cooled just enough to be set, but were still warm and molten in the middle. They lost that texture later on and reheating didn’t quite bring it back. In the future I’ll freeze the portioned dough in balls and only bake them on demand instead of by the full batch.

  • elisa_m95b99 on February 09, 2026

    These didn’t spread as much as the recipe suggested but still very yummy ! I froze a portion and I’m curious how those will bake up

• No-bake chocolate clusters [Dorie Greenspan]

  • EatinSnax on January 06, 2026

    This is cornflakes stirred with a bag of melted chocolate chips and it tastes like cornflakes stirred with a bag of melted chocolate chips. I was hoping the coconut and craisins would make them a little more interesting, but they didn’t do much. Fast and easy, but these were the last cookies to get eaten from my cookie platter.

• Peanut butter-miso cookies [Krysten Chambrot]

  • eclairea on January 02, 2026

    These were great! But next time I would slightly underbake because it was a bit too crispy for my liking.

• Gingerbread latte cookies [Vaughn Vreeland]

  • bwhip on December 06, 2025

    These are really good, with super powerful ginger and coffee flavor! Texture is perfect, soft and chewy, with crispy edges.

• Italian rainbow cookies [Margaux Laskey, Mary Carpino]

  • kfreytag on February 10, 2026

    Made these in Seahawks colors for the Super Bowl! I also used orange marmalade (not strained) in place of the suggested apricot/raspberry preserves, as this is similar to how a favorite local spot makes them. They turned out incredible and were easier to make than I thought — just takes a bit of advance planning!

• Eggnog snickerdoodles [Vaughn Vreeland]

  • christine_esuqap on May 03, 2026

    I would give this 10 stars! One of my family’s faves!
