Add This Cookbook To Your Collection

If you're looking for new and innovative cookie recipes, with easy to following directions, this cookbook is for you. I like it because it's one of those cookbooks you pretty much have to read from beginning to end in one sitting. Between the very intriguing recipe names like Monkey Bars and Moo Cow Cookies, and the ease of the written directions, the almost 150 page cookbook makes it an easy read. The hardest part is deciding which cookie to try next. (I'm leaning toward the Key West Cookies as they are like having a cheesecake only in bite-sized pieces.) I like that the recipes, although innovative, don't have a lot of bizarre ingredients in them. I can make almost of the recipes without having to go to the grocery store first.

The Drawbacks Are Few

If you're an experienced cookie baker, this cookbook is perfect. It's just the recipes and nothing else. If you're someone new to baking cookies or you're a visual baker, you may not like this cookbook. It lacks photos and basic baking instructions. Plus there's not an index.

This Cookbook is For You

You have only had to bake cookies a few times to appreciate this cookbook. It takes our everyday favorite cookies like Chocolate Chip and makes them into Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies. Every cookie baker needs a copy of this cookbook.
