Thank You!

It has been more than ten years since our last book on cookies—a long time, considering how much we at Martha Stewart love baking, decorating, and eating them. Thank you to the editorial team of Susanne Ruppert, Sanaë Lemoine, and Nanette Maxim, who happily produced what we hope is your next favorite cookbook. Invaluable was Michael McCormick, who brilliantly created the beautiful design—from the colorful palette to the fresh, playful layouts. Food stylist Jason Schreiber skillfully took each cookie to the next level, and was ably assisted by the tireless Caitlin Haught Brown, Jess Damuck, and Molly Wenk. We were thrilled to be joined by photographer Lennart Weibull, who with the remarkable Lorie Reilly, effortlessly shot so many of the delicious-looking images. Prop stylist Carla Gonzalez-Hart helped ensure that the shots looked inviting. Thank you to the photographers listed below, whose work also graces these pages. Heartfelt thanks to Thomas Joseph, Kavita Thirupuvanam, and our colleagues and friends at Living, who were always ready to develop a new recipe, debate over baking techniques, or taste-test the latest batch of cookies. As always, special thanks to Kevin Sharkey and Carolyn D’Angelo. Other key players include Laura Wallis, Bridget Fitzgerald, Mike Varrassi, Stacey Tyrell, Gertrude Porter, and Josefa Palacios. We are pleased to be making books (and baking cookies) with our Clarkson Potter family, namely Jennifer Sit, Mark McCauslin, Linnea Knollmueller, Kim Tyner, Marysarah Quinn, Stephanie Huntwork, Jennifer Wang, Aaron Wehner, Doris Cooper, Kate Tyler, Stephanie Davis, and Jana Branson.
