Ever wonder where chocolate came from? We have the Mayan king Kukulkбn to thank. Kukulkбn is more than a king—he is also a god. One day he brings his people an amazing gift: a chocolate tree! But there is just one problem. Kukulkбn’s brother, Night Jaguar, doesn’t want regular people to have chocolate. He thinks only gods should eat the tempting treat. Will Night Jaguar prevail? Or will the Mayans get to keep their chocolate tree?

This is a great book. It has so many unusual recipes with the most beautiful pictures, the only downside is deciding which to make first!
As a warning, each recipe makes LOADS of cookies so it might be worth halving the recipe so you don't end up using all your butter and eggs, or eating the whole lot in one sitting!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially if you need ideas for edible gifts, there's something for everyone and these are not your average cookies :-)
My personal top five:
1.- Cream-filled Chocolate Sanwiches
2.- Lime Meltaways
3.- Chocolate-Almond-Marsala Cookies
4.- Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk Cookies
5.- Pear, Pistachio and Ginger Blondies
 
Embark on a delicious journey of discovery and find your own top five!
