We are excited to share a new show from the baking experts over at King Arthur Baking Company, called Things Bakers Know! It is entirely family friendly, and is a great listen for passionate bakers of any age. Hosts Jessica and David are joined by best-selling cookbook author Zoë François, who talks about the extensive chocolate chip cookie testing she did for her latest book, Zoë Bakes Cookies, as well as the surprising role cookies played in her family history. Then, Jessica and David answer your burning cookie questions in Ask the Bakers, including tips on the best chocolate to use and the necessary tool you need for consistent cookie baking. They close out the episode with a detour into space, Jessica’s soapbox on why warm chocolate chip cookies are actually bad (!), and the recipes they’re baking this week. Recipes and other links from this episode: Find Zoë’s book here: Zoë Bakes CookiesFollow Zoë on Instagram and Substack Zoë’s Smash Cookies recipe (the cover star of her book!) Oatmeal-Date Smash Cookies recipeKing Arthur’s 2024 Recipe of the Year: Supersized, Super-Soft Chocolate Chip CookiesWhat David’s baking this week: Sesame Wheat recipeWhat Jessica’s baking this week: Roti Canai recipeOur favorite baking scale: Essential Digital ScaleShop all our chocolate, from chunks to chips Record your question for our Ask the Bakers segment here!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
