Brooklyn's very own purveyors of delicious desserts (and our soon-to-be next-door neighbors!!) come to the store to talk about their new cookbook, and share some of their tasty baked goods.

About One Girl Cookies:

The One Girl Cookies bakery in Brooklyn, NY, started as just that: one girl making cookies. Dawn Casale left her job as a women's accessories manager at Barney's New York to dive into the sweeter side of life—and her beautifully made seasonal cookie collections were an instant hit. One Girl Cookies shares the delectable cookies, cakes, whoopie pies, and more from this beloved Brooklyn bakery with a devoted following.

One Girl Cookies will resonate with dessert lovers looking for something unique. Deeply invested in family, Dawn incorporates heirloom recipes and stories into her selection of baked goods. Many cookies are named for someone special: Lucia (Espresso Caramel Squares with White & Dark Chocolate Swirl) is in honor of Dawn's beloved grandmother; and Lana (Bittersweet Chocolate Sandwiches Filled with Raspberry Preserves) is named after Dawn's favorite teacher, who was a little bitter, but mostly sweet. Dawn's family life and bakery are inseparable; it is only fitting that when she hired David Crofton, a professional baker, to expand the business, she found the love of her life—a sweet side story in this charming book.

Together in One Girl Cookies, Dawn and Dave share the shop's most popular recipes, from cookies, cakes, pies, and tarts to the best from the cafè's breakfast menu—,and of course their famous whoopie pies (even the coveted pumpkin ones with maple spice filling) are also included. Known for her beautiful, personal gift packaging incorporating old family photos and grosgrain ribbon, Dawn also gives tips and ideas for making and wrapping custom presents for any occasion. With 70 recipes and 50 color photographs, One Girl Cookies will inspire enthusiastic home bakers who want old-fashioned family heirlooms and modern recipes to add to their favorites.
