The editors of Gourmet delved deep into their archives and selected the most delicious cookie for each year of the magazine's sixty-eight-year existence. After winnowing from thousands of recipes they chose an amazing array, from the almond-scented French-style Cajun Macaroons, (1941) Mocha Toffee Bars (1971), to the contemporary Glittering Lemon Sandwich Cookies to include in this book. 

The Gourmet Cookie Book is a compendium of cookies of every description, from Aunt Sis's Strawberry Tart Cookies to Grand Marnier-Glazed Pain d'Epice Cookies.  The book includes balls, bars, refrigerator cookies, drop cookies.  Cookies from around the world: from Dutch Jan Hagel to Irish oatmeal sandwich cookies filled with cream and Irish whiskey.  Christmas cookies: Christmas Butter Cookies, Moravian White Cookies. Recipes are printed as they originally appeared in the magazine, with tips and recipe notes from Gourmet's test kitchen, and with headnotes describing their cultural context.
