Small Batch Cookies - Edd Kimber - Pick-Up at Bakehouse

We’re over the (super)moon excited for the launch of Edd Kimber's—the very first winner of The Great British Bake Off (you might know it as The Great British Baking Show on Netflix) new book Small Batch Cookies!

Edd has been a part of the Supermoon family since day one! He was actually among the first to walk through our doors when we opened, and he’s been sprinkling his magic ever since. Remember that video he made while spending a day with us six years ago? 

Not only is Edd a maestro in the kitchen, but he’s also one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet and we're so excited to be partnering with him to launch his new book! 

Trust us, you’re going to love his book just as much as we do! (We’ve already baked a bunch of cookies from it, and they’re absolutely delicious!)

There are times when nothing other than a warm chocolate chip cookie will hit the spot. Bad day at work? Chocolate chip cookie. A great day at work? Chocolate chip cookie.

The need for an emergency solitary cookie or two can strike at any time, but baking recipes typically serve large groups, which is perfect for a party, a celebration or a crowd, but not when there's just one (or two) of you and you would rather not spend the money on making a big batch or be faced with eating the same thing all week.  Edd created these recipes to satisfy the emergencies, embrace the solo cookie eater, and save you from cookie binging!

In Small Batch Cookies, Edd shows that good things really can come in small packages. Cookies are probably the easiest - and arguably most popular - kind of baking there is. Nothing has quite the allure of a cookie straight out of the oven! The classic cookie is chocolate chip, but there is no one single perfect version - the variations are endless and range from double and triple chocolate to dark chocolate and cherry, and white chocolate and lemon. Other less familiar but no less delicious types of cookies include vanilla, peanut butter, ginger, oat and raisin, and coconut. The recipes also include vegan cookies and cookies for those with allergies and intolerances.

Cookies recipes are divided into chapters on Soft & Sumptuous, Crispy & Crunchy, Ooey Gooey, Sandwich Cookies, Chocolate Heaven, and Chewy. Along with his flawless, delish, no-fail recipes, Edd supplies his Cookie Manifesto (including information on shaping and scooting), the Boring but Important Bit (ingredients and how best to use them) and tips on equipment, especially pieces pertinent to small batch baking.  Some recipes can even be made in air fryers, and of course, recipes can always be doubled if you crave a bigger batch.
