The Gourmet Cookie Book: The Single Best Recipe from Each Year 1941-2009
For this stunning collection, the editors of Gourmet delved deep into their archives and selected the most delicious cookie for each year of the magazine’s sixty-eight-year existence. After marathon testing sessions and winnowing from thousands of recipes—many sent in by readers—they chose an amazing array, from the almond-scented French-style Cajun Macaroons, from the magazine’s beginnings in 1941, through Mocha Toffee Bars (1971), to the contemporary Glittering Lemon Sandwich Cookies. The enticing assortment includes
Cookies of every type and description, from the homey (Aunt Sis’s Strawberry Tart Cookies) to the exotic (Grand Marnier-Glazed Pain d’Epice Cookies), including balls, bars, refrigerator cookies, drop cookies, even deep-fried cookie confections.
Cookies from around the world: from Dutch Jan Hagels to Irish oatmeal sandwich cookies filled with cream and Irish whiskey, to Scandinavian Rosettes.
Dozens of Christmas cookies: Old-Fashioned Christmas Butter Cookies, star-shaped Moravian White Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Bar Cookies.
Printed exactly as they originally appeared in the magazine, with abundant tips and recipe notes from Gourmet’s test kitchen, and with headnotes describing their cultural context, the recipes present a fascinating bite-by-bite history of how our appetites evolved.

About Gourmet Magazine
Author Web Link: http://www.gourmet.com/
Gourmet magazine was a monthly publication of Condé Nast Publications and the first U.S. magazine devoted to food and wine. Founded by Earle R. MacAusland (1891-1980) and first published in 1941, Gourmet also covered “good living” on a wider scale.
On October 5, 2009 Condé Nast announced that Gourmet will cease monthly publication by the end of 2009, due to a decline in advertising sales and shifting food interests among the readership. Editor Ruth Reichl, in the middle of a tour promoting the Gourmet Today cookbook, confirmed that the magazine’s November 2009 issue, distributed in mid-October, was the magazine’s last. The Gourmet brand will continue to be used by Condé Nast for book and television programming and recipes appearing on Epicurious.com.
