Meredith Goad’s article in today’s Press Herald catalogs the 3 types of cookie bakers and interviews Julia Usher, author of Cookie Swap: Creative Treats to Share Throughout the Year.
When it comes to holiday cookies, there are three types of bakers.
The first type sticks to an old family recipe like Taylor Swift trying to hold onto the microphone at the VMA Awards.
The second type is more like Adam Lambert at the American Music Awards — always pushing the envelope with something new and more, um, challenging.
The third type is like a karaoke performer. These folks buy pre-mixed, pre-sliced cookies in the grocer’s freezer, pop them in the oven, and they’re done. They like to call themselves singers, but they’re not fooling anyone but themselves.
