This recipe for chocolate cookies was sent to The New York Times several years ago by Mari Pfeiffer, a reader in California; it’s from the cookbook “Great Cookies,” published in 2003 by the author and teacher Carole Walter. The cookies are filled with deep flavor from the combination of cocoa powder, unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder. Decorate them with royal icing. “Other icings would spoil the cookie’s simple yet amazing flavor,” said Ms. Pfeiffer, who often cuts the dough into letters to spell out seasonal messages.

Resolução comentada
Origem da receita de biscoitos publicada pelo NYT.
O texto diz que a receita foi enviada ao The New York Times por Mari Pfeiffer, uma leitora da Califórnia. Logo, o jornal recebeu a receita de uma leitora, o que torna C correta.
Análise das alternativas
A) Errada: a receita vem do livro de Carole Walter, e Pfeiffer apenas a enviou ao jornal. B) Errada: o livro foi publicado pela autora e professora, e o texto não diz que foi o NYT quem o publicou. D) Errada: 'Great Cookies' é o nome do livro, não da receita.
