Editorial Reviews

"Sarah is one of my most trusted baking resources, and I was thrilled to see that she poured her infinite cookie wisdom into this spectacular book. It is full of fool-proof recipes to fit every possible cookie craving and cookie cravings I didn't even know I had. I cannot wait to bake my way through the whole thing, starting with the Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies!" - Yossi Arefi, baker and author of Sweeter off the Vine

"This is a cookie gold mine! I've been waiting years for all of Sarah's cookie wisdom to transfer from her brain to my kitchen, and here it is! Sarah's recipes are reliable, approachable, and just plain crave-able. This world has reached peak cookie deliciousness thanks to Sarah."

-Molly Yeh, blogger, author of Molly on the Range, and star of Girl Meets Farm

"Sarah Kieffer has the innate ability to create recipes that capture a sense of culinary nostalgia-both real and imagined-and are remarkably better than any memory could be. She takes every whim and amplifies its magic, creating sweets that never disappoint. She is one of the talents I rely upon when I need the platonic ideal of a recipe. This book is a treasure trove of sure-to-be favorites."-Tara O'Brady, food writer and author of Seven Spoons

"It is absolutely safe to declare Sarah Kieffer the Queen of Cookies, and once you bake from this over-the-top collection of cookie perfection, you will see why the crown is hers to wear! My favorite chapter has to be Pan-Banging Cookies, because why stop with chocolate chip? Now there is a flavor for any time the mood strikes to bang that pan. This is a 'buy at least two copies' kind of book-keep one, give one. The world needs this!" -Brian Hart Hoffman, editor-in-chief, Bake from Scratch 

"Sarah's pan-banging cookies are the gold standard of chocolate chip cookies. Yet she's managed to set the bar even higher with her new book, 100 Cookies. Sarah bakes with all the passion and soul of a poet, so it is no wonder her recipes have captured the hearts of bakers all over the world. Her gorgeous photography makes it impossible to flip through the book without wanting to bake every single recipe. I am starting with the Marshmallow Peanut Butter Brownies because they are the most glorious pan of brownies I have ever seen. Well, until I turned the page to yet another beautiful creation. Sarah is nothing short of a cookie goddess! You need this book and a large glass of milk."-Zoë François, pastry chef and coauthor of the bestselling Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day series

"Sarah Kieffer is living her dream. She turned a childhood obsession for baking into the most joyful cookie book ever. I love her writing, her recipes, and the way she guides you through every step. Start with her Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are famous for a reason!" - Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and television

From the Publisher

With one dessert-focused book under her belt (The Vanilla Bean Baking Book), veteran blogger Kieffer turns her attention to her first culinary love: cookies. Kieffer is perhaps best known for her trademark "pan banging" cookie baking technique. She shares all her secrets for creating these classic bakery-style cookies, dedicating a whole chapter to pan-banging recipes including new flavor twists like rum raisin and snickerdoodles. Flavor profiles are predominantly rich, sweet, and traditional, although Kieffer occasionally mixes it up with riffs on fresh fruit and herbs such as her olive oil sugar cookies with blood orange glaze and lavender cookies with white chocolate glaze. A chapter filled with no-churn ice cream and buttercream filling recipes entices bakers to experiment with sandwich cookies. More experienced home bakers will welcome the challenge of making macarons, meringues, and palmiers. Recipes offer measurements in cups and grams and are best for those with a basic understanding of the baking process. VERDICT Kieffer has created the perfect guide to creating classic bakery-style cookies at home; a must-have title for culinary collections.—Kelsy Peterson, Forest Hill Coll., Melbourne, Australia
