Zoë's Baking Academy: Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

For this round, TEN participants will win a signed copy of Zoë Bakes Cookies!

It’s Zoë Bakes Cookies publishing day and I am currently en route to my book tour! First stop: NYC. I can’t wait to meet so many of you and chat all things cookies.

If you’re looking for a signed copy of my book, I’ve listed several options on my Zoë Bakes Cookies page. Locally in the Twin Cities, I just signed some copies at Moon Palace Books (they also ship). Snag one while you can!

Tickets are now on sale for my Minneapolis Zoë Bakes Cookies launch party at The Lynhall on Sept. 18! I’ll be in conversation with my friend Stephanie March. Tickets are $5 general admission or $30 with a copy of my book. Come eat cookies and celebrate with us!

Zoë’s Baking Academy: Chocolate Chip Cookies Edition

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who tuned in to my YouTube Live yesterday. We had people join all the way from Germany, South Africa, and all across North America. It was lovely to bake with you!

If you missed it, no problem! Below is the replay and following that are all the details for how to join this month’s Zoë’s Baking Academy challenge.

I started Zoë’s Baking Academy to share my tips & techniques for successful baking that can apply to all recipes, even the ones from your grandma. This month I’m challenging you to bake my chocolate chip cookie recipe exactly the way it’s written (that’s how I love it) or you can create a chocolate chip cookie exactly the way YOU like it. I love that a recipe like this can vary based on your tastes. Check out my recipe for all the ways you can make it your own.

Helpful Resources

There were some excellent questions during our YouTube Live on Sunday, so I wanted to share the resources with you here.

• How to Use a Kitchen Scale

• Measuring Cups vs. Kitchen Scale for Measuring Flour

• How to Make Homemade Vanilla

• Types of Flour and Differences in Baking

• Where to Buy my Zoë Bakes Cookies T-Shirt
