695: Holiday Cookie Boot Camp with Vaughn Vreeland & Marissa Rothkopf

Vaughn Vreeland is a cookbook author, NYT Cooking writer, and longtime video personality—or, as he writes, “that guy from that thing I saw once.” His first book, Cookies: The Best Recipes for the Perfect Anytime Treat, was published in collaboration with NYT Cooking and includes 100 amazing cookie recipes from Vaughn along with a deep bench of recipe developers from the New York Times orbit. We had such a fun time talking with Vaughn about how to win your office holiday cookie competition and some of the creative recipes he’s included in this great book. Also, it's cookie week at the New York Times. Check it out.Also on the show we have more cookie talk. Marissa Rothkopf is the author of a great new book, The Secret Life of Chocolate Chip Cookies. We talk about writing a book dedicated to what might be the favorite (or possibly best) cookie, and go over some really helpful baking tips.    Subscribe to This Is TASTE: ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠, ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
