Martha Stewart Makes Life Better

Martha Stewart Makes Cookies.

I love the simplicity and straightforwardness of this app's name. And, of course, I love Martha Stewart. So naturally I'm already a big fan of this app which I've never even tried. You begin with a cookie search wheel that allows you to mix flavors until you find the perfect cookie for your soon-to-be-grateful loved one. You see full-color photos of each cookie, you use the built-in timers and when you're stumped at a step, take advantage of the embedded video so that Martha can lovingly and confidently walk you through it. Really, it's like she's right there in the kitchen with you! And once your cookies are ready to come out of the oven, Martha would never just leave you to your own amateurish devices, so of course there's tips on presentation as well.

The layout and design are as clean and visually-appealing as everything in her empire. I'm sure Martha Stewart Makes Cakes, Martha Stewart Makes Chicken, Martha Stewart Makes Omelettes, etc., etc. can't be too far behind. Maybe even Martha Stewart Makes Cupcakes AND Cookies :

Because, really, Martha Stewart DOES Make Life Better.
