Soft grocery-store-style cookies get a makeover in food stylist and recipe developer Jesse Szewczyk’s book Cookies: The New Classics. “These sugar cookies are everything you love about the nostalgic lunchbox treat,” he writes, but “reimagined with the unexpected addition of pink grapefruit zest.” Citrus keeps the cookies zippy and offsets the sweetness of the fluffy frosting. Use a little gel food coloring (or a lot!) in the frosting to customize your shade.
