Sweets and Stories: The Cookies and Claws Bonus Book

Step back into the world of Cookies and Claws—where dwarves bicker like old married couples, ancient magic hums beneath the mountains, and unexpected guests change the course of a journey—one sweet, chaotic step at a time.

Sweets and Stories is the ultimate companion for fans of Cookies and Claws. Packed with exclusive fiction, behind-the-scenes worldbuilding, and character-driven adventures, this bonus book gives you a deeper look at Theo and the eclectic cast who make the world feel wonderfully alive.

INCLUDED INSIDE

The Short-Story Prequel: Bells and Beasts

When your best friend insists that a legendary bell is “definitely, probably, maybe” in some random cave, you say no. When your friend starts showing symptoms of the plague you’re trying to cure, you grab your axe and pray the monsters are feeling friendly (hint: they’re not).

Guest Stories: Stir Yourself In

During the Kickstarter for Cookies and Claws, there was an exclusive tier of creating a character that would be part of a short story set around Cookies and Claws. There are four short stories in total,  celebrating the unexpected characters who wander into the heroes’ lives and change them in small—but meaningful—ways. From tailors to rogues to quiet maids, these are the people who remind us that stories are shaped by more than chosen heroes.

The recipes of Cookies and Claws: Dough and Delights

Packed with recipes for every kind of quest, from warm herbed focaccia to carrot cakes worthy of a royal feast—and of course, chocolate chip cookies and cookie dough. Includes notes from Theo and the gang, baking tips that may or may not be practical, and enough sweetness to keep even the grumpiest dwarf smiling (briefly). And a short story about cookie dough, because cookie dough deserves it.

And more…

There are mini-bonus stories, Freya’s Code of Conduct with her friends’ comments, Bruni’s version of the map of the realm (expect sarcasm) and more.
