In this book our favorite cookie baker gets some competition both of the professional and romantic kinds. When hottie Shawna Lee has her sister Vanessa move into town and they open their own bakery, business falls off at the Cookie Jar. But then, to add insult to injury, Shawna Lee starts dating one of Hannah's boyfriends. So one night, seeing a light on at the Magnolia Blossom Bakery, Hannah sneaks over to peek in the window. Instead of finding Shawna Lee's baking secrets she sees Shawna Lee dead on the floor of the bakery. Hannah has just become the prime suspect. 

Did the women have trouble follow them into town or was it someone Hannah knows who committed the crime? Does Hannah ever choose between Mike and Norman? And just what is it that makes Shawna Lee's Peach Cobbler so yummy?

I am waiting for strawberry season so I can use fresh strawberries to make the Strawberry Flip cookies. The Desperation Cookies recipe makes a really big batch, 10 dozen! I believe this recipe would be easy to halve. This looks to be a really good basic cookie dough recipe to use as a starting point to create your own special treat. Instead of using nuts and chips try crushed pretzels and M&M candies or crushed cereal and chopped dried fruit. You would only be limited by your imagination and pantry ingredients. I did try the recipe for the Chocolate Overload Cookie Bars. Check back for that recipe, my review, and pictures.
