On The Today Show with "Martha Stewart's Cookie Perfection"
I am so excited about my latest book, “Martha Stewart's Cookie Perfection: 100+ Recipes to Take Your Sweet Treats to the Next Level” from Clarkson Potter. Do you have your copy? With the holidays coming up, this book is sure to come in very handy.
This week, during my appearance on The Today Show, I showed Andy Cohen, Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker, several recipes from the book - Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies, Halloween Spiderweb Cookies, and Potato Chip Cookies. I also showed them my White Chocolate Swiss Meringue Kisses, Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies, and my pretty Linzer Flower Cookies. In addition, our set was decorated with pieces from my Martha Stewart Collection “Harvest Gold” exclusively at Macy’s. Among them - my Ceramic Figural Squirrel, Harvest Gold Acorn Box, Harvest Pumpkin Berry Artificial Garland, and more. It was such a fun segment filled with ideas and inspirations.

Here are some photos.

- The table was set up with stations to show the recipe details for three cookies from “Martha Stewart’s Cookie Perfection.” All the cookies in the book are so fun to make and really add a tasty twist to some of your traditional cookie favorites.
- Here I am with Andy Cohen just before my segment began.
- These are my Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies. These cookies are full of maple flavor – maple sugar for the buttery shortbread dough and maple syrup to sweeten the cream filling.
- I love these Halloween Spiderweb Cookies – perfect for all your little trick-or-treaters. I showed everyone my trick for dipping, dripping, drying and decorating – it makes perfect cookies every time.
- The cookies look great arranged on a large platter showing the spiderweb design.
- Next, I showed everyone how to make my Potato Chip Cookies – watch the segment to find out who inspired this recipe.
- These cookies add just the right amount of sweet and salty to every bite.
- On the table – my White Chocolate Swiss Meringue Cookies. I provide three different kinds in the book – all using the same base with varying ingredients and important tips for making the most beautiful meringue.
- Underneath these meringues is my Harvest Wood Pumpkin Charger. Serve everything from cookies to fruit to cheese and crackers on this handsome autumn piece. https://mcys.co/2J5buj2
- Here I am with Al Roker. He loved my Linzer Flower Cookies. These flavorful cookies combine the taste of buttery hazelnuts and fruity jams and then dusted with Confectioner’s sugar.
- After the segment, I stopped for this quick photo with three of The Today Show food stylists – Kristen Little, Ashley Holt, and Katie Stilo.
- And if you haven’t already, please get a copy of “Martha Stewart’s Cookie Perfection” – you will absolutely love every cookie in the book. (Photo by Armando Rafael)
