Hmm. Shortbread are huge favorites here and your biscotti are always in demand. I’d love cookies that can be formed and frozen before baking so I can have fresh cookies ready to go.
So glad you’re home! Things have a way of working out!
I've got you! I'll be testing and labeling everything that works well GF, and there are a lot! I tested them out on a GF host at a dinner recently, and everyone loved them whether they were GF or not!
I think shortbread is the ultimate cookie. Swirled, striped, checkerboard, marbled with tahini (which BTW are addictive) appeal to my basic instincts. Jan Hagel was/is a family favorite
I'm experimenting with green and blue spirulina.. lovely color combo.
Good luck with your new kitchen. One door closes and another opens traumatic as it is...
Congratulations on getting your home back. It must be such a comfort for you.
As far as cookies go, I had just ordered another [famous] cookie book and to be honest, I am looking forward to your book more! Would it be right to ask for your version of a Dubai bar cookie? Trendy yes but the ingredients are not. Who if not you?!? Also love use of unexpected spices, glazes, toppings, finishes - like the sumac glaze, buckwheat groats, sour cream ganache etc. I have a pantry full of ingredients inspired by your cookie recipes!
Ooh I love hearing that! And yes, I've been very inspired by ingredients! I briefly thought about Dubai but hmm maybe too trendy? Will give it some more thoughts but I made the decision not to do any bars in this book because there was so much to explore in cookies in just 75 recipes! If this one does well maybe a book on bars to follow up?
Oh I think the trend is not waning - more like ramping up! I've been ordering Charles Chocolates (from SF) Dubai bars (see how they did it from scratch themselves) and it does deserve a well-thought out cookie, Dubai-style! Carpe kataifi!
yay for moving back home with a solid support system in place! enjoy getting reacquainted with your space.
re cookies: I second the request for cookies that can be frozen (in a roll or drop) to bake later. Also “grown up” cookies that have sophisticated flavors that might not appeal to kids but make a great dessert for dinner with friends.
Happy to hear you’re back home! 🩷. Can’t wait for the cookie book! Some favorite flavors……molasses, chocolate, almond! Cookies or dough that freeze well!
Like others, I love shortbread, gingerbread and bar cookies but would also like the thin Swedish gingerbread cookie version and those made by Biscoff. Great with coffee and tea! Also, I’ve eaten a thin cookie made with sesame seeds and maybe butter and brown sugar, not sure of the ingredients but they are addictive…if you know what I mean by this vague description, I would love that recipe in your new book!
I love your cookies and a few are on my annual cookie gift giving list. I'd love one with olive oil. I just tried Zezettes for the first time and it's such an interesting cookie it makes me think about the possibilities. And an unusual flavor is always welcome.

Thanks! That's great feedback!
And I agree with the lemon request 😁
Lemon! You can never have enough good lemon cookie recipes.
Agreed! I have a few great ones I think you'll love!
Cookies using apple sauce or ripe bananas in lieu of oil and butter! That would be GREAT!
That's a tougher one but I'll put it on the list!
🙏 I believe in you!
I would love some cookies using nut butters. Your cashew butter cookies are one of my favorite cookies!
I have one chilling right now! And there are a few! Thank you!
I’m obsessed with all manner of shortbread. I’d love a definitive explanation of and steps for making the best shortbread cookie.
There will be lots of shortbread! Thank you!
I would love to see options for Gluten Free cookies, my daughter has celiacs and I am always using AP flour substitutes. Looking forward to the book!

Me again,
Priscilla Martel.com Biscotti de Vino are really great. Loaded with redlwine, sesame and olive oil

Hmm 🤔
For not having a news letter this week, you write a hell if a news letter! Not surprised.
Congratulation on getting the house back and the floors!
Haha thanks Fernando!
Congrats on moving in back home.

Thank you Caitlin! I am the queen of cookies for grownups! You won't be disappointed!

Thanks Sandra- The sesame one sounds interesting!

oooh- not familiar with zezettes! However I have a few already with olive oil!
Very happy for some with olive oil!
Dorie Greenspan just posted a recipe and they are delicious! I've made them twice already 😁
Oooh I will check it out! I did some research, and interestingly, I do have an Italian cookie made with olive oil and white wine!
