Hi everybody! Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday. I know you’re not used to me popping in on the weekend, but I have something special to share with you.

As you know, my new book, Cookie Queen, comes out on November 3rd. I am so proud of this book, and I am pretty sure you’re going to love it if you love cookies. And if you don’t love cookies, who are you even? Of all the books I’ve written, this one is the most personal to me. Somehow, baking cookies has always been a thread in my life since the time I was very young, and the recipes in this book are all delicious and unique—and as Martha says, “the recipes really work.”

I know it gets tiring hearing every cookbook author pleading with you to preorder their books, and believe me, it’s hard to keep pleading! BUT, I can’t stress how important it is to a book’s success to have strong preorder sales numbers. It shows the publisher and booksellers how much interest there is in the book, which in turn gets more people interested in selling it. I know many of you would rather wait until the book is out to buy it, but if you have any interest in it, I am practically begging you to order it now. And while you’re at it, buy a few extra for the bakers in your life, because it makes a great gift too! Don’t forget, if you hate it (you won’t) you can return it! If you order it now, you’ll have it on pub day, just in time to plan your holiday cookie baking.

If you like my work (and I know you do, because you are here), this is the best way to support me, so I can keep bringing you fresh ideas and great recipes.

These Chocolate Chunk, Date, and Pecan cookies have a caramelly undertone that is so good. Make sure you chop the dates really well for the best results. You don’t want chunks here, as they'll spread and bake unevenly.
These Lemon Poppyseed Sandwiches were one of the recipes I worked on early in the process. I abandoned them when my grandson puckered up when tasting them, but then I realized how good they were when I resurrected them. They are soft and chewy like a snickerdoodle, thanks to the addition of cream of tartar, and are really good straight from the freezer (where we keep our surplus of cookies).

When putting together a book like Cookie Queen, I tend to end up with more recipes than I need. A few fall out for one reason or another. Here are FOUR fantastic recipes that did not make the first cut. One of them was developed especially for you, the Matcha Mint Thumbprints with Chocolate Ganache. You won’t find these recipes anywhere else, and we’ve put them together in a pretty e-book, so you can start baking right away. This will give you a feel for what Cookie Queen is all about, and you’ll have cookies!

I was inspired to create these Matcha-Mint Thumbprints with Ganache when my herb garden started coming in. It was a flavor combo I thought might work really well, and guess what? It did!
Very Vanilla Meltaway Snowflakes is a long name for a short cookie! These really do melt in your mouth and have the subtle but wonderful flavor of vanilla throughout. These make a fun family decorating project! Use all your white and silver sprinkles here.

Your support means the world to me. Thanks for being here!
