Sarah Kieffer is the blogger behind The Vanilla Bean Blog and a contributor to major food publications. Her recipe for bang-the-pan cookies went viral after she introduced it in the New York Times (it’s delicious and ingenious!). She takes all her own photographs for the blog and shoots photography for other cookbooks, including Breadin5. She lives in Minnesota.
"It is absolutely safe to declare Sarah Kieffer the Queen of
Cookies, and once you bake from this over-the-top collection of
cookie perfection, you will see why the crown is hers to wear! My
favorite chapter has to be Pan-Banging Cookies, because why stop
with chocolate chip? Now there is a flavor for any time the mood
strikes to bang that pan. This is a 'buy at least two copies' kind
of book--keep one, give one. The world needs this!" --Brian Hart
Hoffman, editor-in-chief, Bake from Scratch
"Sarah is one of my most trusted baking resources, and I was
thrilled to see that she poured her infinite cookie wisdom into
this spectacular book. It is full of fool-proof recipes to fit
every possible cookie craving and cookie cravings I didn't even
know I had. I cannot wait to bake my way through the whole thing,
starting with the Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies!" - Yossi Arefi,
baker and author of Sweeter off the Vine
"Sarah Kieffer has the innate ability to create recipes that
capture a sense of culinary nostalgia--both real and imagined--and
are remarkably better than any memory could be. She takes every
whim and amplifies its magic, creating sweets that never
disappoint. She is one of the talents I rely upon when I need the
platonic ideal of a recipe. This book is a treasure trove of
sure-to-be favorites."--Tara O'Brady, food writer and author of
Seven Spoons
"Sarah Kieffer is living her dream. She turned a childhood
obsession for baking into the most joyful cookie book ever. I love
her writing, her recipes, and the way she guides you through every
step. Start with her Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are famous for a
reason!" - Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and
television
"Sarah's pan-banging cookies are the gold standard of chocolate
chip cookies. Yet she's managed to set the bar even higher with her
new book, 100 Cookies. Sarah bakes with all the passion and soul of
a poet, so it is no wonder her recipes have captured the hearts of
bakers all over the world. Her gorgeous photography makes it
impossible to flip through the book without wanting to bake every
single recipe. I am starting with the Marshmallow Peanut Butter
Brownies because they are the most glorious pan of brownies I have
ever seen. Well, until I turned the page to yet another beautiful
creation. Sarah is nothing short of a cookie goddess! You need this
book and a large glass of milk."--Zoë François, pastry chef and
coauthor of the bestselling Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
series
"This is a cookie gold mine! I've been waiting years for all of
Sarah's cookie wisdom to transfer from her brain to my kitchen, and
here it is! Sarah's recipes are reliable, approachable, and just
plain crave-able. This world has reached peak cookie deliciousness
thanks to Sarah."--Molly Yeh, blogger, author of Molly on the
Range, and star of Girl Meets Farm
