Synopsis
Bigger is better in the cookbook that “opens up a whole universe of giants, including chocolate chip whoppers and king-sized raisin pillows” (The Boston Globe).Nobody’s ever made baking history with a scrawny cookie. No matter what the occasion, nothing beats the big, fat, homemade kind. With this deliciously fun cookbook and a few simple ingredients, anyone can whip up a quick batch of one of fifty different gigantic crispy, chewy, or fancy-pants sandwich cookies. From classic Super Chocolate Chip to colossal Mocha Mud Mountains, Jumbo Coconut Macaroons to Lemon Whoopie Pies, this is total cookie satisfaction. Introductory material includes tips on buying the best ingredients, techniques such as mixing and forming the perfect round, baking ahead and storing, and for those who actually like to share their cookies, how to pack them up safely so they won’t break on the way to the party. So, get that sweet tooth ready and bite into a Big Fat Cookie.“Cookies don’t always get much credit for being desserts, partly because of their small size. Klivans’s creations, however, give cookies the size they need to hold their own at the end of a meal (or anytime) . . . Even those who spend very little time in the kitchen will be inspired to break out their baking sheets after thumbing through this enticing book.” —Publishers Weekly“A former pastry chef and author of several baking books, Klivans draws heavily on the classics—chocolate chip, oatmeal, shortbread, gingerbread—but she always manages to interject an unusual twist . . . a book that any cookie-loving reader will want to use over and over again.” —East Bay Times
