Zoë Bakes Cookies: Everything You Need to Know to Make Your Favorite Cookies and Bars

Beloved for her stylish, earlier Zoe Bakes Cakes, Zoë François offers here 75 recipes for both familiar favorites and her own imaginative takes.

Sporting endorsements from bakers such as Claudia Fleming and Dorie Greenspan, François takes your interest in good cookies seriously, offering nearly 40 pages of advice on ingredients and techniques. And if you’re ever inclined to wonder what would happen if you used a little more butter in a recipe, her Chocolate Chip Cookie Lab, beginning on page 46, will show you how changing ingredient proportions can affect your final product.

But if you just want to get in the kitchen and bake cookies, how about:

• Ultra-peanut butter cookies, which use peanut flour and peanut butter

• Zucchini cake brownies, good for dairy-free households or meals

• Caramelized white chocolate sables with sea salt

• Rhubarb blondies

François calls out those recipes which are nu-, dairy-, or gluten-free.
