This is a Featured Preorder* for a book that will be published November 3, 2026.

We're thrilled that Susan Spungen will sign all preordered copies of Cookie Queen!

This is what the publisher tells us about this book:

80+ unique and inspiring cookie recipes from the “Babe Ruth of Cookies” (The New York Times) perfect for a simple cookie fix or an elaborate gift box assortment.

Making cookies is both an art and a craft. With Cookie Queen, you have an exciting and invaluable resource whether for a single good cookie recipe or for embarking on a cookie box project, a holiday activity that in recent years has risen to the level of competitive sport.

Want to bake but not sure which cookies would go well together? This book takes a modular approach, so whether you want to make three different cookies or thirteen, picking from the different sections will give your boxes and platters variety. No need to spend a lot of time planning to figure out what will taste good and look good together. This mix and match approach is baked into the concept.

Try recipes such as:

• Tiger-Striped Sablés
• Earl Grey Shortbread with Burnt Honey Glaze
• Mocha Spice Crinkles
• Piped Matcha Butter Cookies
• Toasted Corn Cookies
• Caramel Stuffed Cashew Chocolate Chunk Cookies

There is no one more qualified to take you on this baking journey of joy than Susan Spungen. As food editor at Martha Stewart Living for twelve years from its founding in 1991, Susan is unmatched in her wealth of knowledge in the food world. Each year during the holiday season, Susan releases her coveted cookie content on her Susanality newsletter, highlighting her favorites as well as debuting new recipes. 

Cookies are connection. Whether making them together or sharing the delicious results with others, no other food has the power to bring people together and spread as much joy as cookies can.
