forewordAs this new edition of The Ultimate Cake Mix Cookie Book heads to theprinter, I’ve been musing about the exciting developments that have occurredsince it was first published in 2005.Topping the list is the sheer popularity of the book, something I merely hopedand dreamed of back in the early days of testing and writing recipes. I knew thenhow much I loved making cookies with cake mix, but it has been a thrill to sharethe joy with others.I’ve especially reveled in the notes and letters from fans, letting me knowwhich recipes are loved most, and what kinds of recipes they would still love tosee. After chatting with countless home bakers across the country, I know thatit’s the simplest recipes with an innovative twist that everyone’s after. It has totaste terrific, first and foremost, but if it’s versatile, can be made in minutes, hasan especially short list of ingredients, and looks gorgeous, all the better.So, in addition to the familiar favorites from the first edition, you’ll find heremore than two hundred brand-new recipes, all of which reflect feedback fromfellow cake-mix-cookie-aficionados. I am confident you’ll love each and everyoffering, from the ease of baking the cookie to the subsequently stellar results.Think Hazelnut and Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies, Deluxe Nut Jumbles,Chocolate-Covered Marshmallow Pillows, and Vanilla Malt Gooey Bars; it justgets better and better.And if those new options don’t have your mouth watering, just wait until youtry two of the hottest new trends for using cake mix: cake balls and whoopiepies.Cake balls are tiny cookie-like confections made from mixing crumbled,
baked cake with frosting, molding the mixture into tiny balls, then coating allwith chocolate. Yum! I’ve created eighteen scrumptious varieties for you to try,such as German Chocolate, Cinnamon Roll, Berries-and-Cream, Key Lime, andCheesecake. Be forewarned: they are highly addictive to make and eat (andabsolutely adorable, to boot).Second, whoopie pies. The oversized, soft cookie sandwiches, stuffed with avariety of creamy frostings, are nothing short of cookie nirvana. Think RedVelvet Whoopies, Caramel Latte Whoopies, and Lemon Buttermilk Whoopies,to name but a few. Forget the cupcakes: make whoopie pies for your next partyto score an excess of points.Beyond the new recipes, I am compelled to mention that with this newedition, what ultimately excites me above all else is that it further celebratesAmerican home cooks’ enduring embrace of home baking in general, and homebakedcookies in particular. No matter how many cookies in our repertoire, wehave a boundless zeal for new ideas, from techniques to flavor combinations,and we cannot wait to share them. That’s the real story of American homecooking and baking.That being said, I hope you’ll experience as much delight in creating thesecookies in your home as I have had crafting them in mine. Few things gratify meas much as sharing a plate of cookies with friends, including the conversationand camaraderie that typically coincide. If this book helps you do the same, Iwill be truly pleased.
