The Good Cookie: Over 250 Delicious Recipes from Simple to Sublime

The Good Cookie is the best cookbook I own because every recipe I have tried has been fantastic! (I agree with another reviewer - the chocolate chip cookie recipe is the best ever; I just made another batch today). There is a marvellously wide range of types (bar, refrigerator, decorator, drop, cut-out, etc) and flavors. And there are even cookies from around the world, from fortune cookies to hamentaschen to biscotti (several flavors) to ANZAC cookies to various British cookies. The recipe layout is visually pleasing and easy to follow. There are several pages of color photos to get your saliva glands and desire to bake really going. And every cookie I have tried has been perfectly delectable. I really love this cookbook and couldn't give it enough praise. Comprehensive, easy to use, nice to look at, and delicious. It is the best cookbook I've ever bought!

This cookie book has the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried. And believe me I have tried several! The variety of cookies and brownies in this book are amazing! Chocolate, fruity, savory, and even cookies for the special furry pet in your life. I collect cookbooks and have been searching for a great chocolate chip recipe for a long time. This is the best I've found!

Maida Heatter, a long-trusted name in baking, said "Happiness is baking cookies -- especially when they are as delicious as all these are." I cannot agree with her more. Because of time constraints, I tend toward the easier recipes in this book, and there are so many to choose from. My pregnant cousin does not allow me to visit her anymore without Tish's Chocolate Chunk Cookies; my children finish a dish before I can even get to them. For fans of wonderfully rich, chocolate-y cookies, make sure you try this recipe first! For a great after school treat, be sure to try the Classic Vanilla Sugar Cookies. You can taste each of the simple ingredients that is part of this recipe, and your children will gladly help you sprinkle the coarse sugar. There are many, many more recipes to try, and they range from simple to sophisticated and sweet to savory. In the end, one needs only one good cookie. But it is nice to know that, with this book, you will have many more favorites from which to choose!

I love to bake. I am so glad that I ordered this cookbook! I have made the white chocolate key lime bars and the peanut butter cookies. The bars were delicious and everyone told me that the peanut butter cookies were the best they had ever had. I brought some to work and people said "I can't believe you made these, these are something you get at a really good bakery or deli". I can't wait to bake my way through this book. Thank you Trish!

This book is perfect for everyone. It provides lovely recipes that turn out exactly as they're supposed to. My cookies were a hit at a recent function that I attended. The instructions were straight-forward and so easy I thought I had made a mistake along the way. Truly a wonderful book!!
