OrangeReviewStarThe editors at America's Test Kitchen pack decades of baking experience into this impressive volume of 250 recipes for cookies, brownies, bars, and no-bake confections. Here you'll find only the best, as chocolate crinkle cookies, ultranutty pecan bars, rocky road bark, and other treats have all survived scrupulous testing. American favorites are predominantly represented, but there are plenty of international cookies to enliven everyday and holiday cookie plates. It's wonderfully convenient to have these recipes in one place, though there is some overlap with The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book and The Cook's Illustrated Baking Book. Supplement this workhorse collection with Dorie Greenspan's Dorie's Cookies and you'll be set for years.
VERDICT Whether you're a fan of crisp or chewy cookies (or crisp-chewy cookies), you'll find a wealth of keeper recipes within these pages.
