The Cookie Bible

I'm so glad I bought this. So much better than the other cookie books out there and I've researched a lot before buying. This one surpassd my expectations. It has lots of pictures and all the cookies actually look really, really yummy and makes you want to make them all. These are the cookies that I want to bake. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. If you want a cookie book, get this one!

This book is absolutely wonderful! The best part about it is the pictures of most of the cookies. I actually got one for a present for the Church secretary as a joke, but then I was looking through it and decided to get me one too. She & I both love it!

This book gets its name for a reason! There are hundreds of delicious-sounding cookie recipes in this book, including everything from no-bake bars to drop cookies to elaborately shaped cookies. A wide variety of ingredients are used. The recipes are clearly written, easy to follow, and wonderfully, inticingly illustrated. They are organized by type of cookie (drop, shaped, slice and bake, etc.), and there is a great, easy-to-use index in the back to help you find just the recipe you need. There are also hints for making your cookies come out great, for storing and shipping, and packaging cookies for gift-giving. Every recipe I've tried out of this book has been a huge hit!

This was one of my first cookbooks and I love it. So far I've only been able to try a handful of recipes but the recipes are very easy to follow and I haven't been disappointed yet! There are great tips in the begining, such as what to substitute for certain ingredients (ex: pancake syrup for corn syrup) also has plenty of baking tips. The recipes are broken up into logical chapters (kid's favorites, pinwheels, drops, etc). Tons of full page color photos add a lot to the book as well!!!!

When it comes to baking, everyone needs good cookie receipes, and this book lives up to its ambitious name. The highlights are large photos of every cookie, easy to read recipes, basic ingredients, and an introduction discussing baking in general and how to avoid cookie pitfalls. All of the cookies I've made from this book have been spectacular, and the choices are endless. From regular cookies, to bars, to no-bakes to holiday selections, you will never lack for delicious treats and your friends will love you. Go ahead, buy the cookie bible. On top of everything else, its as cheap as cookbooks come. Enjoy
