The Perfect Cookie
Bake better cookies.
America’s Test Kitchen has almost 25 years of experience in the pursuit of the perfect cookie recipes. We’ve baked thousands of batches to make the all-time best versions of American cookie jar classics, as well as foolproof recipes for favorite cookies from around the world, and some original recipes all our own.
Now we’ve aggregated all that cookie-baking expertise into The Perfect Cookie, the definitive hardbound go-to resource for any cookie or bar you could imagine making. We’ve included photographed steps, ingredient information, essential science, and timesaving tips that keep you in control of every batch you bake.
"Worth its weight in gold for the practical cook who wants to feel confident about putting good food on the table."
