Classics with a Twist
Just when you think a tried-and-true cookie couldn’t possibly be more perfect, it is: green-tea shortbread, a carrot-cake thumbprint, spiced-chocolate biscotti, and more. Martha’s reimagined our best-loved favorites by channeling those familiar flavors and shapes into new, even more delicious iterations.

Some Assembly Required
The only thing that can possibly top a cookie is one that’s topped (say, with marshmallows and chocolate like a s’more), or two cookies wrapped around a luscious filling. That’s a sandwich we can believe in.

Giant Cookies
A big cookie for a big sweet-tooth, for sharing with a large group of friends, or for a hearty breakfast. Whatever the reason to go big, super-sizing is simply fun.

Tools of the Trade
With a little help from the molds and spritzes, rolling pins and textured mats, and even a meat mallet, these cookies take on designs, graphics, and whimsical appeal.

Cookies by Any Other Name
Puffy whoopie pies; chewy, cakey, or fudgy brownies; fruit-packed bars; and lush chocolate truffles—call them whatever you like, they’re still among the sweetest treats we know. And that’s why recipes for each are included in this book, too.
