From the Bakery of Afternoon Tea: Book of Cookies and Bars

Baking up a batch of cookies in the kitchen with Mom or Grandma is one of our earliest simple pleasures as children, and we never lose the memory of it nor our love for cookies, no matter how old we get. Cookies and milk, cookies and tea, cookies and coffee, cookies and champagne...no matter how we enjoy them, no one can resist these sweet, bite-sized temptations. Cookies are small, portion-sized nibbles that satisfy your soul and your sweet tooth, without all of the guilt. In fact, cookies are pretty much the perfect treat -- self-contained, not too small, not too big, eat as many or as few as you'd like.

Fair warning, though...each of the cookie recipes in this book is highly addictive, in its own way. You can try to fight the sudden craving for a Molasses Crinkle or a Snickerdoodle, but they have a way of winning you over. The Coconut-Raspberry Bars or Oatmeal Fudgies might do you in completely, but we promise that you'll love every minute of it. With recipes for drop cookies, cut-out cookies, spritz cookies, and bar cookies galore, this cookbook features all of the extremely popular varieties we baked at the Afternoon Tea bakery. We know you'll fall in love with these recipes and enjoy them for many years to come.

Because life is just better with fresh-baked cookies, we offer you our latest cookbook. Happy baking!
