I thought it would be fun to share some books I’ve been wanting to bake from. Just some of the sweet reads sitting on my shelf. Well, actually they are on my mantle and on my floor because I am in desperate need of a bookshelf to house them all and keep them cozy.
They pretty much stay stacked to save space. I can get more stacks on my mantle that way. But you know – the book I want to pull down is always the one on the bottom. Of course. But do I unstack them to get to the one I need? Of course not. I strain and push and wiggle to lift the ones on top and try to inch the one I want out.
It’s never pretty.
Thank goodness all of these books are.
Let’s take a quick peek at them and hopefully you can help me decide which one to use first.
Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson
Photographs by Eric Wolfinger
This is a big, beautiful book of bread. And it scares me a little. I haven’t worked with dough or yeast a lot. But I want to learn. I want to make bread! And this book from the legendary Tartine Bakery in San Francisco is gonna help me. One day.
Ultimate Cookies by Julia Usher
Photographs by Steve Adams
Let me just say that this book could just as easily be placed in the art section as it is in the cookbook section. Julia’s cookie designs and attention to detail are absolutely amazing. Her piping work is impeccable and a little intimidating too. But she has lots of pictures and instructions to help you along the way.
Sugarlicious by Meaghan Mountford
Cute treats and fun sweets. This book is full of whimsical projects to that are easy to make and decorate for any occasion. And many of them kids can make, too.
Handheld Pies by Sarah Billingsley and Rachel Wharton
Photographs by Ellen Silverman
Umm… Pies? In my hand? Sold. Tiny treats in any form are hard for me to resist. And so was this cover. The book is divided into freeform pies, structured pies and jar pies. Too cute.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier by Ree Drummond
Hey Ree – Thank you for including so many sweets in your beautiful cookbook. The Coffee Cream Cake is calling me. But so are all the other recipes. Maybe I should just start at the top and check each one off. If they are as good as the Chocolate Sheet Cake in your first book, I am in trouble.
Sweet Auburn Desserts by Sonya Jones
Photographs by Deborah Llewellyn
That’s a cover, huh. Completely captivating. I can’t stop looking at it and I think my heart just started racing.
Sweet Auburn Bakery is located in Atlanta and I can’t believe I haven’t visited yet. I must correct that immediately. Oh and stack cakes just moved up on the to-bake list. Oh my. Oh! My!
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook by Cheryl Day and Griffith Day
Look how adorable these two are. This book is from another Southern bakery and it makes me want to jump in the car and head straight to Savannah, GA to visit their charming shop. Turning the pages, each dessert is more tempting than the next. And there’s savories inside, too. Bacon Jam empanadas and the ham and cheese pastry puffs have my name all over them.
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book by Jake Godby, Sean Vahey and Paolo Lucchesi
Photographs by Frankie Frankeny
With ice cream flavors like Secret Breakfast, Rosemary’s Baby and Fat Elvis … and more than 300K twitter followers, I want to know more about this little ice cream shop in San Francisco. When they say ice cream with attitude, they mean it.
Joy the Baker Cookbook by Joy Wilson
Oh Joy. Your book is a total biggie. I remember when we chatted at the book signing I had in Santa Monica and you were just starting it. Can you believe? Look at the amazingness you made. So happy for you! Oh… and those Baked Chili Cheese Fries… help me. P.S. Great arms!
Milk & Cookies by Tina Casaceli
Photographs by Antonis Achilleos
With a title like that, how can you go wrong. Divided by vanilla cookies, double chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, special cookies, family favorites, brownies and bars … milk is definitely mandatory.
Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever
Photographs by Leigh Beisch
I love this cover!!! Love it. I want to wallpaper my kitchen in it! All I know is marshmallows will be happening soon. I just need a better candy thermometer first and then look out.
Pie it Forward by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Photographs by Tina Rupp
Pies, tarts, tortes and galettes. Yes, yes, yes and yes! Filled with tons of recipes and a passion to pie it forward, Gesine’s book should make any pie lover happy.
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook by Lori Sandler
I’ve had this book for a little while now and have meant to bake from it way before now. All the recipes are vegan and some are gluten free, too. If you have a need for egg, nut or dairy free, you might want to check it out. You can order online from them, too.
The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando
Photographs by Tara Striano
An encyclopedia of cookies. Oh yes. Buttery, chocolaty, fancy, fruity, spicy and nutty cookies fill the pages of this super cute book. It lays flat, too. Love that.
Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw
Photographs by Eric Wolfinger
I’ve baked from this book before but I couldn’t help showing it again. It’s really beautiful and one of the few books that I want to make almost everything inside. P.S. I have a recipe in the book, too. Fun!
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts by Mark and Michael Klebeck with Jess Thomson
Photographs by Scott Pitts
I didn’t make it to Top Pot Doughnuts when I was in Seattle, but hopefully I can fix that one day soon. I love cake doughnuts and old fashioned doughnuts. Okay, I love any doughnuts. Except filled. Can’t do filled so much.
Les Petits Macarons by Kathryn Gordon and Anne McBride
Photographs by Steve Legato
I love these little cookie confections. I’ve made them a couple of times, but not enough to feel confident with them, so I scooped up this cute book for inspiration.
Push-Up Pops from Courtney Dial Whitmore
Photographs Kyle Dreier
Hey Courtney! Thanks for sending me your book. I have my push-up pop containers and I’m ready to go. Can’t wait to play with them.
The Sugar Cube by Kir Jensen with Danielle Centoni
Photographs by Lisa Warninger
Twisted treats from the heart of this sweet little food cart in Portland. And yes, those are chocolate chips drizzed in caramel on top of that cupcake. This one looks like it will be fun to dive in to.
Sugar Baby by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Photographs by Tina Rupp
This book is mostly about cooking with sugar instead of baking with it. Working on the stove instead of the oven. And yes, you can make your own rock candy at home. Super excited about that one. The recipes are divided by temperature so a good candy thermometer would be helpful.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton Bauer
Photographs by Stacy Newgent
I love everything about this book. The topic, the design, the unique flavors, the way the ice cream recipes are photographed. And I would love it more if I owned an ice cream machine so I could make some too. In the meantime, I just read that Jeni started selling some of her flavors at The Fresh Market last week – Yay for us! And you can also order them online.
Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson
Photographs by Keller + Keller
Spectacular recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery fill the pages of this mouth-watering book. Nutella tarts, chocolate brioche, and brown sugar popovers sound like a good place to start.

Giveaway sponsored by me.
Marshmallow Madness! I actually own this book as well, haven’t made any yet. On my to-do list…
They are all inspiring but I would choose “Flour”. I am craving some custard filled eclairs! This week I am making my first wedding cake – covering it in ivory fondant and painting it with Spring scenes. Hooboy – that 16″ bottom tier is a monster!
I never win but here goes it…
My mother passed me her bread as hard as rocks genes so Tartine could teach me a thing or more. Definitely more.I took a pie making atelier last weekend praising its breads.
Handheld pies reminds me of Fiadones my family makes. Top Forged Donuts too.
I saw Milk and Cookies on sale on liquidation section and I still kick myself for not buying it.
I never bought from the net but giftcard is safer and easier I surmise.
The Back In The Day Bakery Cookbook looks so fun!
I’m pretty sure it’s a tie between…Sweet Auburn Desserts and Handheld Pies!! Yum…You just filled up my Amazon wishlist!
I would dive into Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts first, but I think you should go for The Divvies Bakery Cookbook since you’ve wanted to for so long…and I want the low down on some of those vegan recipes!
sweet auburn deserts <3
Definitely Flour! I’ve made a few items from that book and they were wonderful!
I would really like to go for the push pops :) I’ve never seen those before and would love to give it a try.
Milk and Cookies to start for sure…but really all of them look amazing!
OMG…Pioneer Woman Cooks, Joy the Baker and Sweet Auburn Desserts all look Fantastic!!
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook for sure!!! It looks amazing!!!
I would say Tartine BRead. I haven’t made bread at home in so long!
Cookiepedia!
The pioneer woman!
The Pioneer Woman book has been on my wish list for a while now. These books all look fantastic, thanks for introducing me to a few I’ve never seen before!
Pie it Forward looks like so much fun! New ideas for turning the regular old slice of pie into a miniature portable dessert is really intriguing… Thanks!
First choice would be Ree’s…..I’m a Pioneer Woman-aholic! Second choice would be The Divvies…..my vegan, gluten free self would love a sweet treat!
Flour! I bought this cookbook for my sister last year, and drooled over the pages, but never got the chance to bake anything from it. Would love to have a copy for myself :)
Les Petits Macarons. Yum!
Definitely Sugar Baby! I have a thing for rock candy.
I would say Joy the Baker Cookbook, hands down!
Definitely Milk & Cookies! Classic!
My picks would be Joy the Baker, Hand-Forged Doughnuts and Back in the Day Bakery. And of course, you can never EVER go wrong with anything that Ree Drummond makes! Thanks, Bakerella!
I would try the ‘pie it forward’ I love the title :)
The Pioneer Woman or Flour. Hard choice!
I have Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams – can’t say enough good things about it. Seriously. The Salted Caramel Ice Cream is to die for. Tartine is high on my list. DItto with the Marshmallow cookbook. LOVE. What a great selection! I’m just jazzed for such great recommendations! Thank you!!
Either the sugerlicous or ultimate cookies, cause I love to bake food and be an artist at the same time :) it brings out the creative side of me!!
I’m going to have to go with the Hand-Forged Doughnuts. My husband’s Canadian and boy do Canadians love their doughnuts!
I would love to try my hand at making macaroons, but really all of the books look amazing! :) The push pop book looks fun too- lots of possibilities there!
Marshmallow Madness! sounds delicious! ;)
ooooh Milk and Cookies for sure!!! Cookies are my favorite :)
I’ll pick up The Divvies Bakery Cookbook.
Cookiepedia for sure…mostly because it’s a great word!
I’d have to choose either PW’s book or the Cookiepedia. I love cookies! And PW. Hmmm.
I’d like to try some recipes from Milk and Cookies. Sounds like my kind of book!!
Wow, you have several books that are on my wish list. Since I have to make everything dairy free I would start with Divvies however Flour is a very close second.
Top Pot Top Pot Top Pot!!!!!! I LOVE their doughnuts!! Its terrible because there are two of them within walking distance of my office! When you’re out here again I’ll take you! You’re definatly miss out!!
My choice is Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson. The pictures look scrumcious– baking is therapy!
Marshmallow Madness!
All that fluffy puffy goodness :)
Sweet Auburn Desserts!
Pie it Forward!
I’m very interested in Pie Pops!
Les Petits Macarons…my sister’s boyfriend just had one for the first time & had no idea what they were. He called them “mini burger bites!”
The “Back In the Day Bakery Cookbook” would be my first one. Why? Because I love trying out “older” recipes in hopes of finding that special one. I have tons of baking cookbooks and was surprised to see so many different ones here!
Pioneer Woman or Push up Pops!!
Milk and cookies and handheld pies.. I also love anything mini or handheld! Its like having a pie made just for you! Plus you can try more and not feel as bad :)
I would love to have Joy the Bakers cookbook!
I would pick the Home Baked Comfort book by Williams-Sonoma. I have their Baking cookbook and love it.
Pioneer Woman, of course! I don’t have her books but those would be at the top of my list to purchase with that gift card! ;)
It would be Petit Macarons…
I am really loving making ice cream! I have several of these books! But you should also get the 2 “baked” books–they are my favorites!
I would love to take a peek inside Flour!
Marshmellows! UltimateCookies! Push-up Pops! or, or, Pies!
Oh…I don’t…know!! I want them all! I collect them and absorb them over and over. You decide for me!
I want to get my hands on all of these now! I had to take my copy of Joy’s book back to the library today and will be ordering one for myself ASAP! I’d like to check out Tartine Bread next because I’m working on my bread skills!
Mmmmmm… pie please! And Ree’s too!
I vote for sweet auburn desserts. Love the cover!
Handheld Pies for me….yummy!
Sweet Auburn Desserts looks amazing!! I would love to bake anything out of this!!
I think I’d pick Ultimate Cookies (looks beautiful) or Marshmallow Madness (I’ve looked at it but didn’t buy it).
Tarting bread. There is nothing like the smell of fresh bread in the oven.
definitely pioneer woman ( i have the sugarlicious and marshmallow ones, highly recommend both too!)
I would love to add The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier to my collection. Ree’s recipes are fantastic and usually pretty manageable for a not experienced cook.
I’d love Sugarlicious . . . just love the flamingo’s on the cover!!!
Have heard good things about Les Petits Macarons and would like to try them. Wolfgang Puck raved about the coffee flavored ones.
Joyyyyyyy’s! I love her and her bright, quirky blog! I have Ree’s first cookbook already, so I can’t wait to get my paws on Joy’s first baby. :)
Milk & Cookies!! Yum!!
I’d love them all! I’ve been wanting to make macarons forever, so I’d probably start with Les Petits Macarons.
I would love to make some cute cookies with the “Ultimate Cookie” book. Looks so sute!
Pie it Forward!
Marshmallow Madness first and then closely followed by all the rest! Totally inspired to go book shopping!
I agree with all the other posts, soooo hard to pick, but seeing its close to mothers day, I think the adorable antique looking jewlery cookies in the ultimate cookie book, by Ultimate Julia Usher. they would look adorable in a clear top jewlery box all tied up with a bow. or mixed in with an assortment of cake pops . all tied up with a pretty bow. That is my next cookie book for sure.
My go – to recipe for banana bread is from Flour .. so I’d have to go with Flour
That is hard – but it would be Flour!
Probably Flour. I made Joanne Chang’s Yellow Cake from a recipe on the internet and it was quite possibly the best cake I’ve ever had. I’d love to try more of her recipes.
I would go with Pioneer Woman Cooks and then Ultimate Cookies. These books look like SO much fun! Good luck everyone!
Les Petits Macarons!
I will buy that book if I win!
Flour looks like it contains a lot of delicious treats. Thanks for the chance to win!
So many of these cookbooks look amazing! I would want to start wit Marshmallow Madness since I have wanted to try to make marshmallows for a very long time.
We have Tartine Bread and Flour, and they are wonderful cookbooks!
I really want to dive into Pie it Forward.
Back in the day Bakery cookbook! Would love to check that book out!
I’d like to try something from Push Up Pops but all thebooks look like fun!
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home and The Cookiepedia are the perfect combination. Yumm.
It is sooooo hard to choose!! However, I really have been wanting to try Push-up Pops! They look cute, elegant, & yummy!
Joy the Baker- I’ve seen her website and her items look ALMOST as scrumptious as yours! Happy Baking!
Wow I would love to have a collection like you. I’m a stay at home mom so I’ve been printing recipes from online. I even made my own folder in order from keeping my disaster under control. I would love to get my hands on “Joy the Baker.” It looks like it has everything! Thanks a Bunch!
Handheld Pies or Marshmallow Madness
handheld pies! :)
I want you to do the marshmallow one because it seems like a fresh medium. I really want to see how they turn out!
Handheld pies for sure! I love to make and give away little finger-sized treats!
P-Dubs! Love her home cookin’ style…and then? Maybe the Macaron one…they look so tasty and cute, I’d love to give them a shot!
I want them all! I want to bake like a goddess, eat like a queen, and look like a supermodel! lol.
Handheld Pies! Two hands…two pies!
I’ve wanted Marshmallow madness for a while!
Les Petits Macarons. Ooo-la-la!!
ha! I already ordered two after reading this post, so I guess my first pick would be my third choice – the Home Baked Comfort book!!
Oh, I really want them all! and then the time to try them! But JOY THE BAKER would have to be first.
Push up pops looks awesome! Id also like to improve my cookie skills so one of the cookiepedia would be on my list too.
They all look great! I think I’d go for the Back in the Day one, it looks intriguing!
Milk and Cookies, please!
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook…or Pioneer Woman! Why choose?? :)
Ultimate Cookies!
I am not sure I could pick just one of those. Definitely need the macarons and doughnut ones, two of my favorite things in the whole wide world. :) Great list, now to go to the book store.
milk and cookies, yes please!
Joy the Baker’s book is at the top of my list right now!!
I’m interested in Pie it Forward or Sweet Auburn Desserts. Thanks for the ‘light’ review!
Wow, a tough decision, but I think I’d pick Flour. Looks amazing.
push up pops-looks FUN!
Pie it Forward! There is just something about pie!
I would buy and cook from “Back In The Day”. I have ten of the books in your stack…wow you have good taste!
My vote is The Divvies Bakery Cookbook! The cow and the chicken have been banned from my diet for two years now and my sweet tooth has been rebelling BIG time ever since!
It is so hard to find good desserts that don’t contain dairy or eggs. I would love to see what Lori Sandler has come up with. So for now, “Moooo”ve over, Humphry Slocome, although even the cover of your book is tempting me to cheat!!
Sugar Baby and Marshmallow Madness!! I love those!!!
I would pick Milk & Cookies! Two of my favorite things!
I’ve been curious about macarons for a while, but have been hesitant to try my hand at making them (they seem so complicated for some reason), so I think I would read Les Petits Macarons before the rest.
I would have to say The Pioneer woman’s book would be first, then Joy the Baker.
Wow all the books look amazing… I’d start with Divvies the vegan book.
Push-Up Pops! They look awesome!!!
It is a tie between “Handheld Pies” and “Sweet Auburn Desserts”. Actually, they all look so amazing…I’m not sure I can pick! :)
Milk and cookies!
I think I would bake from the Milk and Cookies book. I’m just a simple type of girl and would keep it pretty basic. Doesn’t take much to make me happy!!!
The Cookiepedia! It’s like my dream come true in cookbook form.
Flour looks absolutely magnificent!
Hand forged donuts, HANDS down! Can you imagine how good your house will smell?!
Marshmellow madness!!!
I have Julia Usher’s book but haven’t had a chance to try anything. I would LOVE to get my hands on Ree’s new cookibook. I’ve tried many things from her website, but am dying to see the book.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home – since summer is coming, I’d love to make home-made ice cream for my family!
Well, I have already started to dig in to PW’s new cookbook, and it is AMAZING! Besides that, I think the Back in the Day Bakery looks like so much fun :) I might have to get that one too!
well, by the time i made it to the end of the post i already had “the sugar cube” “top-pot forged donut,” “marshmallow madness,” and “sweet auburn” in my amazon cart :)
I’d love to see something exciting out of Milk & Cookies! I’m all about cookies lately :)
all of them!! but Sugarlicious by Meaghan Mountford first i think :)
It’s a tough choice, they all look so wonderful! I think I’d go with Top Pot Hand-forged Doughnuts, Sugarbaby, or Les Petit Macarons. Which one first? Whichever one I get my hands on first!
Jenis Splendid Ice Creams….I love exploring and trying new, interesting flavors.
Definitely Les Petits Macarons! Beautiful, delicious and gluten-free–what’s not to love?
Ultimate Cookies, if I had to choose only one. They all look fantastic!
Omg…. can’t pick one or two I choose all of them!! They all look so yummy……
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook…cute cover and it’s southern sweets!!
The macaroon book! I had my first macaroon from Bouchon bakery in New York this past Christmas… I am 33 so this is tragic that I spent my life without macaroons until now! Needless to say it was AMAZING and I want to start baking them.
I am a huge fan of Joy the Baker so that would be number one on my list, but the flour cookbook looks amazing as well!
hmmmmmmmmm……..I would have to say Push Up Pops, The Sugar Cube & sugarbaby =O)
flour would be my first pick!
Soooo interested in milk and cookies!!!!
Sugarlicious, Milk & Cookies, Push-up Pops, Sugar Baby , Hand Held Pies……and all the rest!
Oh my goodness, so many incredible books! I could never choose just one, but I definitely want the PW cookbook, Handheld Pies, Home Baked Comfort, The Back in the Day Cookbook, and the list goes on! I think I need to copy your list for my upcoming birthday wish list. :)
Marshmallow Madness!
the marshmallow one looks SO cool!
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook
Well that made me want to head straight to the bookstore and get baking!
The Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book looks fantastic! I’m moving to the Bay Area next fall and cannot wait to go there and try it for myself!
As I do have a lovely ice cream maker…I just might need to make some special flavors soon!
Thanks! :)
Would love the Cookiepedia book!
I’d want to bake from The Pioneer Woman’s book first. Every recipe that I have tried from her website has been FABULOUS!
Definetly push up pops!!! They look adorable,just like your cake pops!
What a great collection of books! I’m in middle of perfecting macarons so my first choice would be Les Petits Macarons then Flour.
So many yummy choices…
Les Petits Macarons would definitely be my first pick!
I love pies of all kinds and would love to have ‘Handheld Pies’.
Sugar Baby…it looks beautiful.
Oh so many to choose from, I really want Pie it Forward!!!
definitely the macaroon one!!! yummy!
Such a difficult choice, but I think I’d start with ‘Les Petits Macarons’!
Push up Pops! I am very intrigued by these! They look so fun!
I am all about Back in the Day Bakery. Cutest couple ever and wow, the recipes! Whoo Hooo!
being the daughter of a baker who made the best pies in the world, i would have to go with “pie it forward”
i’m sure you will have fun with whatever book you choose to bake from first……..
I love the bread! I would love to make yummy bread for hubs!
I think I would have to say The Pioneer Woman Cooks. And I’m with you on the coffee cake, oh my!
Oh! Definitely Tartine Bread. I just got a KitchenAid mixer, and have really been in to breads!
Oh my goodness. I would have to go with cookies.
Oh I love all these books! I would choose Ultimate Cookies…or maybe Sugarlicious.
They all sound wonderful…would’t mind having a stack of books like that! I guess I would have to go for THE DIVVIES coobook first, since my daughter has a nut allergy & her bestfriend has a gluten/dairy allergy.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks I think would be my first choice. LOVE her recipes and love her blog. :)
I vote for Sweet Auburn. I apologize for not knowing much about you yet, but I thought that in one of your pictures I spied something from Cake Art. Love that store! I go in there and just need one thing and come out with two bags full!
Home Baked Comfort :) because it has a variety of yummy comfort food !
Definitely Marshmallow Madness!!!
Sweet Auburn Desserts – sign me up for that one! Stacked cakes makes my mouth water.
Milk & Cookies! :D
I just bought Ree’s new book and am very excited to to start cooking from it!! But what to cook first…..? I’m definately buying handheld pies next though!
mmmmm marshmallows! the cover caught my eye, and sugar cube!
Sugarlicious looks like a sweet one to me ! I’d start with that one.
Handheldpies!! cherry pie or blackberry pie, any pie yum!
They all look very good but I think I would start with Push-Up Pop book. Love anything delicious in cute wrappings. :) Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The Jeni’s Ice Cream one because summer is just around the corner!
Sugar Baby might be a bit too advanced for me, but I’d LOVE to give it a whirl!!
Push Up Pops – because love tiny desserts
The Sugar Cube
Too many to choose from, but I have had my eye on Joy the Baker!

I would love to take a look at that doughnut book. Yum!
I’d love to cook anything from Sugar Baby! I’ve been eyeing this book forever it’s so pretty! :)
Yum, yum. What I could bake from those books!
I’ve been dying to try my hand at macarons. They’re so cute. But I do so love me some pie!
Oh yikes…do I really need to pick just one?! This post was NOT good for me haha, as if I needed more cookbooks on my list of must have cookbooks! Ok…Milk and Cookies will prob be the next one I buy!
wow all the books look amazing! i would love to bake anything from Les Petits Macarons by Kathryn Gordon and Anne McBride
Definitely Ultimate Cookies! Or Handheld Pies….Or maybe Pushup Pops? Or all of the above? hahaha :)
Since I am on one of those lo-fat, lo-cal diets the Divvies Cookbook would be more than welcome on my shelf.
I’d love to bake from Ree’s cookbook. Her recipes are simple and delicious. And I love the photos of each step. Tomorrows my birthday (hint hint)! :)
Milk and Cookies — looks amazing!!!!!
Milk & Cookies or Pioneer Woman!
Oh my gosh. Cookiepedia! Or all of them.
The Sugarcube looks delish!!
tough choice…either “flour” or “joy the baker”! joy, because she has so many unique recipes, sometimes combining ingredients i never would’ve thought tasted so good together. flour, because i love sweets, the photos on the cover, and because i love the name of that bakery.
Although the cookie-based books are alluring – I’d have to read the Pioneer Woman Cooks first.
MARSHMALLOW MADNESS!!! =)
I have been dying for the Joy the Baker cookbook for months now but the hand pies one is so darling! I want them all!
Definitely Milk & Cookies! Mmmmm~
