The Great Minnesota Cookie Book
October 20, 2018 by JennyLast weekend, I wrote that there were two cookie books that bakers needed this year. Today, I’m here to tell you about the second: The Great Minnesota Cookie Book: Award-Winning Recipes from the Star Tribune’s Holiday Cookie Contest by Lee Svitak Dean and Rick Nelson. This book is one of our Eat Your Book Cookbook Club titles later this year.
There is something magical about the holiday season
when even the baking challenged feel the call to don aprons
and pull out cookie sheets. Personally, I scour newspaper sites for
their annual cookie contests looking for the one.
You know, the one cookie that no one else will have
on their cookie trays. That unique cookie will make me the star of
the cookie exchange. Folks share some incredible recipes that they
have perfected or that were handed down for ages for these
contests. Thankfully, bakers sell out their family secret recipes
for the chance to win a contest!
The Star Tribune has been running a cookie
contest every year for the last fifteen and have compiled eighty of
the best of the best cookies chosen by the contest’s judges. (Note
to self, apply to be a cookie judge). One can never have too many
cookie recipes and particularly contest winning recipes.
Thankfully, The Great
Minnesota Cookie Book is filled with unique, one-of-a-kind
recipes as well as twists on the classics that everyone needs in
their arsenal. The book’s index
provides a listing of the variety of these tasty morsels. I
recommend starting with the Ricotta cheese cookies, my
favorite.
