“Open Cookie Queen and then abandon any hope of deciding where to begin. Every recipe is so tempting, so gotta-make, gotta-have, gotta-share, that all a cookie lover can do is dive in and bake away. What a treat!”—Dorie Greenspan, New York Times bestselling cookbook author
“All hail the Cookie Queen! As much an artist as she is a baker, Spungen has long been passionate about cookies; this masterpiece inspires and captures that passion in the most beautiful, joyful, and magically delicious way.”—Claudia Fleming, author of The Last Course
“Susan Spungen, the undisputed Cookie Queen, shares all her delicious recipes and gorgeous decorating secrets in these joy-filled pages. If you are setting off to create a showstopping holiday cookie tin or dreaming of your very first baking project, Spungen’s book will be your trusted guide.”—Zoë François, New York Times bestselling author of Zoë Bakes Cookies
“When Susan Spungen says cookies, I listen. Not only does this book feature some of the most creative and delicious cookies I’ve ever seen, but Spungen’s recipes make even complex bakes and decorating techniques approachable. Open it to any page and her guidance will help you make a most showstopping cookie assortment or a perfect afternoon snack.”—Yossy Arefi, author of Snacking Cakes
“Cookie Queen is the book I’ve been waiting for! Anything that Spungen doesn’t know about cookies just isn’t worth knowing. This book is equal parts inspiration, technique, and pure joy.”—Nicola Lamb, author of Sift and Kitchen Projects on Substack
“Susan Spungen has outdone herself with this fabulous collection of cookies, from reinvented classics, like twice-baked pecan shortbread, as well as crunchy granola cookies (my favorites!) and chocolate peppermint sandwiches. The pièce de résistance may be the oversize malted chocolate chunk skillet cookie, which fortunately makes enough so no one has to fight over the last bite. She’s also included a selection of recipes just for kids, so everyone in the family can have fun in the kitchen, too!”—David Lebovitz, author of The Great Book of Chocolate and Ready for Dessert
“Just thumb through Susan Spungen’s new book and you’ll understand why she calls herself the Cookie Queen. Stunning photography of her truly original recipes will lure you into the kitchen. Caramel-stuffed cashew chocolate chunk cookies, piped matcha butter cookies, ,malted chocolate chunk skillet cookies" and chewy raspberry sugar cookies are cookie dreams come true. Follow her detailed recipes and you will, like me, promote Spungen from Cookie Queen to Cookie Goddess.”—Nancy Silverton, co-owner of the Mozza Restaurant Group
