Publisher Description
Wildly popular Cookies & Cups blogger Shelly Jaronsky’s eagerly anticipated cookbook features all-new, mouth-watering, delectable sweet treats 100% guaranteed to make you want to eat dessert first.
Shelly Jaronsky has a problem. She’s an addict. Of the buttercream variety.
“Chronicling my life in sugar” has been Shelly’s motto since the inception of her insanely frequented dessert blog, Cookies & Cups. With recipes ranging from the deliciously decadent (her S’mores Fudge Bars will make you seriously reconsider everything you thought you knew about baked goods) to the deceptively simple (her Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie will become an instant staple in your baking repertoire), The Cookies & Cups Cookbook truly has something for everyone, from the cooking novice to the seasoned chef.
Now you can bring Shelly’s signature style into your own kitchen with more than 125 no-fail recipes, including some reader-approved favorites and a special bonus section dedicated to the quick and savory side of cooking. Authored in the witty, intimate style of the blog that draws more than three million monthly page views and a social following of more than seven hundred thousand fans, The Cookies & Cups Cookbook is the go-to source for all things flavorful, accessible, and irresistibly tasty.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jaronsky, the creator of the website Cookies & Cups, presents over 125 selections with sweets in the front. Her casual tone and concise recipes with numbered steps are inviting for those new to the kitchen. Readers won't find recipes making use of kale or quinoa here, but with the author's motto of "eat dessert first," that's not a surprise. Basics such as chocolate chip cookies and an all-butter pie dough are offset with her unique throw-caution-to-the-wind selections such as Junk Food Marshmallow Squares (complete with potato chips) and Fruity Pebbles Cake (which includes the popular cereal on top of creamy frosting). No-bake options, including chocolate-filled oat squares and mint chocolate bars, are great for easy cleanup. Sweets are the author's forte; savory selections (presented in "Part Two: Did you Save Room For Dinner?"), such as fresh tomato pasta and chipotle-lime chicken chopped salad with creamy avocado dressing, fizzle a bit. This is a fun selection and one for which it's probably best not to include nutritional breakdowns.
