How devoted are you to your favourite cookie? Meet Emelia Jackson, whose dedication to perfection knows no bounds. Consider this book an invitation to make a whole group of new best friends, including:

The Basic B*kkies - think choc chip, thumbprints, shortbreads. Perfect for baking with kids, for the unconfident baker and for when you want to master the simple pleasures in life. They're called classic for a reason!

The Quirky Cookie - boutique flavours a go-go. Express yourself. Think cookimisu, apple crumble in cookie format, skillet action.

The Classy Gal - she's a perfect sandwich, a little bit fancy, and often gluten free.

The World Traveller - crostoli to Pfeffernuesse and everything in between. The finest finds from all corners of the globe. Treats to gift or just to bake and gobble yourself.

More than 80 fully photographed recipes you'll come back to time and again. For bakers and people who don't yet think of themselves as bakers - welcome to the cookie club.
