Klivans’s creations, however, give cookies the size they need to hold their own at the end of a meal (or anytime) . . . Even those who spend very little time in the kitchen will be inspired to break out their baking sheets after thumbing through this enticing book.” —Publishers Weekly “A former pastry chef and author of several baking books, Klivans draws heavily on the classics—chocolate chip, oatmeal, shortbread, gingerbread—but she always manages to interject an unusual twist . . . a book that any cookie-loving reader will want to use over and over again.” —East Bay Times
