The Colossal Cookie Cookbook

This is a wonderful collection of Cookies - definitely as nice on the eyes as it is for the belly! Beautiful pictures and lots of clear instructions are included in this book. My 6 year old daughter and I have made a few recipes from this book and they have been very tasty, easy to make and "keepers". It's now the book I'll turn to first if I want to discover a new tasty treasure - and I have over 150 cookbooks! Very good cookbook, can't go wrong!

I don't know if you noticed, but this cookbook has 425 RECIPES in it. Some of them, I've never EVER seen before. The savory cookie section in the back was a wonderful surprise for me. The Soft bake Artichoke and olive fingers went over huge at the last family gathering. The Monkey Puzzle cookies were so simple to do and yet so impressive. There are lots of pictures, instructions, choices, and varieties. Seriously... This will not dissapoint you.

This book is really amazing...I have tried many of the recipes and have been thrilled with all of them (particularly Grantham Gingerbread Cookies- I never liked gingerbread until I tried these). I also liked the fact that there are recipes for savory cookies as well as dessert cookies. The recipes are easy to follow and prepare (two four year olds helped me with a couple recipes), with all the ingredients, preparation times, etc. neatly displayed. There are so many recipes that you can go festive, exotic, or traditional. DEFINITELY worth the money...happy baking!

I have been making recipes from this book for a few months now, and all of them have been delicious! I take the cookies to work when I make them, and every time I get numerous requests for the recipes. Not only does the book have a very wide range of cookie recipes, it gives great tips on making your recipes work, what equipment to use, etc. Definitely recommended.
