Cookies Unlimited

I get requests from friends to make them cookies! The recipes are great

Nick Malgieri is just fabulous. He has been at the pastry business so long, and he's been teaching for so long, that he knows just what to tell us, and simply, so that we make a superb cookie every time.He also has great taste. The selection of cookies ranges from down-home and familiar to slightly exotic. None of these recipes is very difficult, but there is a little bit of variation in skill level required throughout the book. This will satisfy a craving to try something new and that will stretch your pastry skills. But there are plenty of quick cookies, too, for when you need a cookie NOW.Try these wonderful cookies: golden coconut macaroons, Syrian & Lebanese date-filled cookies, cheesecake brownies, Venetian carnival fritters and chocolate chocolate sandwich cookies.The full-color photographs are beautiful, too!

I've tried several of the recipes in this book, and most of them were very successful. A couple of the recipes were too sweet for my family's taste, but I made the chocolate chip cookies for my husband's office around the holidays, and two people said they were, hands down, the best chocolate chip cookies they'd ever had. The book is divided into cookie category sections (e.g., refrigerator, drop, bars, etc.) and there are many, many recipes with interesting backgrounds on all of them. There's also a great reference section in the back for ordering specialty items, cookie presses, and other things you might not find locally (although most of the recipes can be made with everyday ingredients & equipment).Overall, I think this is a wonderful cookbook and it's by far the best cookie book I've ever used. I turn to it again and again not only when I'm planning on making cookies, but when I just want to read about them and drool over the pictures, too.

I attended a cooking class, taught by Nick Malgieri, where he made one of the recipes in this book. The class was a bit quick and geared to more experienced cooks, however the cookies I have made from Cookies Unlimited were not difficult at all. The recipes are written with enough detail and background that everything I've made so far was easy and turned out delicious.

This is a fantastic assortment of Cookie recipes all in one place. I've tired the "Supernatural Brownies", Blondies, Gingerbread People, "W" piped cookies, Cinnamon piped cookies and Cream Cookie(Rolled) ALL with GREAT results! This is a true cookie resource as the assortment of cookies covered is amazing... fried, molded, rolled, bar, dropped, shaped, piped and filled. The ingredient list and instructions are clear and precise. The paper/binding of this book is high quality.There are beautiful color photos that show you most of the mouthwatering cookies too. If you're looking for the ultimate cookbook on cookies, you've found it.

I love to make cookies, but even though there are lots of cookie books out there, there are not lots of GOOD ones. Well, this is the ONLY one you'll ever need. I have only had the book a few days, but have made 12 of the recipes and all were outstanding. Nick Malgieri is the one person I would choose to spend a day with, if I could choose only one(aside from present family & friends!).Think of all the baking knowledge I could soak up.I guess I will have to be content with his books, this cookie one being my FAVORITE!
