100 favorite cookie recipes from legendary pastry chef Fran ois Payard's beloved patisseries and caf s
Third-generation pastry chef Fran ois Payard shares his favorite cookie recipes--the bestsellers at his popular New York City patisseries and caf s, the recipes he learned from his father, and the ones he makes at home. They range from the simplest sabl s (butter cookies) to the most picture-perfect macarons, with everything in between: unassuming spice cookies, jam-filled linzers and other sandwiches, elegantly fluted and scalloped cannel s and madeleines, cakelike financiers, and beautifully iced cutout cookies for every holiday. All adapted for home cooks and tested in a home kitchen, these treats are easy to make yet offer a taste of "Paris-meets-Upper East Side" luxury to anyone, anywhere.
