Watermark Books and Cafe

  Cookies are perfect, straight out of the oven to the nearly empty cookie jar; from macaroons and meringues to pizzettes and spice cookies.  A graceful book, "One Sweet Cookie: Celebrated Chefs Share Favorite Recipes," is the ultimate collection of cookie recipes from the best bakers, chefs and pastry chefs.  

  Tracey Zabar has compiled original recipes from seventy-five of the very best.  These recipes include signature creations at top restaurants while others are from personal kitchens.  This extensive array of more than ninety recipes include Pistachio-Cherry Oatmeal Cookies from Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park; a chocolate chip cookie devised by Chef Todd English of Olives that combines the flavors of chocolate with walnuts; and a celebration of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo's Sighs and Juliet's Kisses from Tracey Zabar, that sandwich chocolate and almond cookies with a sweet filling.  There are also international cookies from England and Austria to Puerto Rico and Australia.  And many many more.
