Nancy Silverton’s The Cookie That Changed My Life is a heartfelt return to the roots of American baking, inspired by the perfect peanut butter cookie that sparked her mission to make every baked good taste just as unforgettable. Drawing on her reputation as the original pastry chef at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, Silverton shares recipes that represent the very best of classic American desserts, from Lattice-Topped Apple Pie and Carrot Cake with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting—where carrot puree is the secret—to true-to-flavor Cornbread. Alongside timeless favorites like Lemon Bars, Key Lime Pie, and Layered Buttermilk Biscuits, she adds her own inventive twists, including Double-Decker Chocolate Cookies, Iced Raisin Bars, and a rich Chocolate Brandy Cake. This book is a celebration of baking’s beloved classics, all perfected and sure to become new staples in your kitchen.
