Timed perfectly for holiday
baking, the latest cookbook
from the editors of Martha
Stewart Living is “Cookie
Perfection.”
The 100-plus recipes are
loosely organized into catego-
ries; there are chapters titled
“All Dressed Up,” “Classics
With a Twist” and “Some
Assembly Required.” The
editors also included glos-
saries of essential tools and
ingredients, plus their Golden
Rules for cookie baking, such
as knowing your oven, lining
baking sheets, chilling dough
and proper storage.
These cookies are billed as
“a ginger-lover’s treat, if ever
there was one,” and are said to
be one of Martha Stewart’s fa-
vorites. The recipe uses three
kinds of ginger — ground,
crystallized and fresh grated.
