"Martha Stewart's Cookie Perfection: 100+ Recipes to Take Your Sweet Treats to the Next Level"
My newest book, “Martha Stewart's Cookie Perfection: 100+ Recipes to Take Your Sweet Treats to the Next Level” from Clarkson Potter is in bookstores right now. I’ll be sharing tips and recipes from the book on The Today Show this morning in the 8am ET hour, so be sure to tune-in!
I love this book - it makes all those favorite go-to cookies even better. “Cookie Perfection” introduces new flavors, textures, and techniques, and incorporates equipment that isn’t traditionally used for making cookies. We tried all sorts of new toppings, tested unusual flavor combinations, and made sure every single cookie was fun to make and above all - absolutely delicious. And, with the holidays just around the corner, you’re sure to find lots of inspiration and ideas for making your cookies far more special for family and friends.
Enjoy these photos from the new book. And be sure to post photos of your cookies on social media using #MarthaStewartCookiePerfection. I can’t wait to see how you’ve used this book and enjoyed the recipes.

- And if you want to add everything to your cookie – try our rendition of the Kitchen-Sink Cookies – giant cookies loaded with tart dried fruit, toasted nuts, chocolate, rolled oats, and coconut flakes. My friends ate one and then took an extra to go – they’re that good.
