Cookies: The New Classics

Cookies: The New Classics by Jesse Szewczyk is a creative collection of 100 bold recipes that reimagines the familiar cookie jar with unexpected flavors, textures, and techniques. Organized into categories such as Chocolaty, Boozy, Fruity, Smoky, and Savory, the book moves well beyond traditional chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies while keeping the recipes approachable for home bakers—many don’t even require an electric mixer. Inventive creations such as Malted Brownie Biscotti, Key Lime Pie Meringues, Smoked Butter & Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Chewy Blueberry Muffin Sugar Cookies, and Pretzels & Stout Cookie Bars showcase Szewczyk’s playful approach to building new classics. Named one of the year’s best cookbooks by The New Yorker, The New York Times, Food52, and others, Cookies: The New Classics is an imaginative baking collection for anyone ready to take their cookies beyond the expected.
