Making Cookies with Dorie Greenspan

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, Amanda and Merrill are in the kitchen with Dorie Greenspan.

Dorie Greenspan is one very busy lady -- between cookbook writing, hopping planes to and from Paris, and opening a new cookie shop in New York, we're amazed she had the time to stop by our test kitchen.

Not only did she make time to visit us, she showed up with a special cookie recipe, port, and some exciting news about a cookie contest she's judging. Big prizes await, so take a look at the video and check out the details below.
