Celebrating Season-9 of "Martha Bakes" on Facebook LIVE
I’m so thrilled - the ninth season of my television series, "Martha Bakes" premieres this weekend on PBS!
“Martha Bakes” is a half-hour show where I get to share my best tips and techniques for making all your favorite baked goods right at home. For this season, we decided to feature cookies from around the world. We taped “Martha Bakes” over the course of several days in the kitchen of one of the houses at my Bedford, New York farm. We also invited experts to join me and to share their baking expertise and well-loved cookie making ingredients. Yesterday, during my Facebook LIVE, I made two cookie recipes to celebrate the new season. We got lots of wonderful responses from our friends on Facebook - it was a very fun broadcast.
Big thanks to our wonderful sponsors, Domino Sugar, and Pyrex, who help make this show so successful. If you missed our Facebook LIVE, just click on this highlighted link. And, be sure to watch "Martha Bakes" on PBS - check your local listings for times. Enjoy these photos.

- I also made Iranian Rice Cookies. These crumbly rice flour cookies are made using a sugar syrup infused with rose water, a classic ingredient in Middle Eastern sweets. Watch the video to see how I made the decorative grid pattern top of the cookie. (Photo by Mike Krautter)

- These are called Goose Feet Cookies, which is pronounced in Russian as ‘gusinie lapki’. The name comes from the triangle shaped cookie which looks like a webbed goose foot. (Photo by Mike Krautter)

- In my Flower Room, our test chefs watch the television shoot from a computer laptop. This lets them know when cookie swaps are needed on set – we make everything fresh for all my television shows.

- I am fortunate to have multiple stove burners and ovens at my home. There is always plenty of room to cook and bake.
