From the IACP award winner and bestselling cookbook
author comes a first-of-its-kind collection of irresistible cookie recipes
inspired by Asian flavors and techniques to excite home bakers.

Growing up as a Canadian-born Vietnamese Chinese American,
Kat Lieu sought comfort in the flavors of her youth like taro and black sesame.
But she struggled to find a home for herself as a third-culture baker in
American bakeries, online, or in cookbooks. In the auspiciously titled108
Asian CookiesLieu honors the varied and rich tapestry of Asian
cultures and ingredients that inspired these recipes. And along with members
from Subtle Asian Baking, the online baking group she founded, are a diverse
array of original and member-submitted drool-worthy recipes for cookies and
bakes incorporating ingredients from the diaspora including gochujang, ube,
miso, fish sauce, sambal, tahini, matcha, and MSG stirred into each batter and
dough.

Bakers will learn how to whip up both classics and entirely
new desserts such as:

• Spicy
  chai cookies

• Amaretti
  cookies with pandan and pistachios

• Taiwanese
  snowflake crisps

• Milk
  and cashew burfi

• Salted
  egg yolk corn flake haystacks

• Mochi
  brownies

• Matcha
  and wasabi drop cookies

• And
  even instant ramen and pho cookies!

At many Asian tables, “not too sweet” is the highest compliment one
can give–so whether these recipes are comfortingly familiar or new
discoveries,108 Asian Cookieswill be sure to delight even
the most discerning “not too sweet” kitchens for years to come.
