Just putting the final touches on my own baking therapy blog before it goes live in a week or so (virtualgoodyplate.blogspot.com.) I found your blog perusing links on other baking blogs and I love this post because I'm the same way about Martha. I find her snooty and way too pretentious but spent 1/2 hour drooling over the cookie book last time I was at Border's. I didn't buy it based on principle, but I came home and looked up about 10 of the recipes on her website, then a few more off her cookie-a-day feature. I don't think we could be friends, like you said, but we could bake together. Mhm. I just tried her pink grapefruit sandwich cookies tonight. Wow. These carrot cake ones look great - thanks!Disco Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102319958554597698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-73302700895086738982009-02-26T06:07:00.000-08:002009-02-26T06:07:00.000-08:00Thank you for writing this post!

Mine were a little dry but that didn't stop 'em from being gobbled up. The cookie book is addicting, right? I think I put a "must try" post-in on every other page.

I have a couple of her cookie magazines (which is where most of the recipes from that cookbook came from) and have made probably around 7 recipes from them and have loved them.
