About this book

Crazy for Cookies, Brownies, and Bars presents over 85 recipes for cookies, brownies, bars, and related desserts. Dorothy Kern, a widely read baking blogger, shares tested recipes alongside baking fundamentals and practical guidance. The book covers cookie basics and foundational techniques, then expands into brownies, blondies, shortbreads, shortcakes, and cookie cakes. Kern outlines rules for successful baking, reviews key ingredients and tools, and provides storage tips to keep baked goods fresh. Recipes range from traditional favorites like Molasses Cookies and Nana's Drop Sugar Cookies to inventive options such as Chocolate Peanut Butter Potato Chip Cookies and Raspberry Almond Spirals. Beyond cookies, the collection includes Brown Butter Pecan Blondies, Peanut Butter Magic Bars, Bacon and Caramel Brownies, Salted Caramel Ginger Sandwiches, Cookies 'n' Cream Mud Bars, and Birthday Cookie Cake. Each recipe includes a photograph. Personal stories and memories from the author accompany the recipes throughout.
