Stuffed is a wonderful collection of tutorials and 65 mix-and-match recipes for sandwich cookies by Heather Mubarak. Due out 4th April 2023 from Chronicle Books, it's a comprehensive 272 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
The concept is quite simple. There are lots (and LOTS) of cookie recipes as well as mix and match fillings to turn them into sandwich cookies. There are basic classic recipes (chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter) as well as gorgeous up-to-the-minute insta-perfect recipes (lavender shortbread with meyer lemon curd, rosemary pine nut sablés with whipped goat cheese and more).
The recipes include an introduction, ingredients in a bullet list sidebar, and step-by-step preparation and cooking instructions. Ingredient measurements are given in imperial (American) units with metric in parentheses (yay!). The author goes into a great deal of detail with specific ingredients, especially different types of flour and sugar, some of which might require a specialist grocery with a good selection of baking goods. Nutritional information is not included, thank goodness.
The photography is stellar, clear and in color.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
