Customer Reviews

Great Book!

This is a wonderful cookie book. I like it that there are several recipes for just one type of cookie. It offers lots of international cookies as well, and includes a picture of each cookie.

Delicious

Honestly, I am shocked at all these bad reviews. I received this book a few years ago as a gift and have tried several of the recipes. I have tried baking the cookies with vegetable shortening, butter, vegan butter, regular eggs, and vegan egg replacer and the cookies turn out delicious and beautiful every single time. Every time I have ever made cookies from this book I get tons of rave reviews from everyone that tries them, even when they had no idea I baked them. I am by no means an experienced baker or cook. So, I don't understand what on earth these people are doing that make them think this book is horrible. Not to mention, if you don't like the cookies with vegetable shortening and prefer it with butter, here's a solution: don't use it--use butter instead. It's not that difficult of a concept to understand. Yes, there are a lot of different recipes for the same cookie, for example there might be five different chocolate chip cookie recipes, but I think that's the whole point of the book. There are TONS of different varieties of cookies even when there are five different recipes of the same type of cookie. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure you'll never ever get around to baking every type of cookie in this book. So, I don't see what the big deal is if there are a variety of different recipes for the same cookie. Actually, I recently went through all my baking books and got rid of every single one except this book because it's the only one I ever use. I think it's a wonderful book, so I hope the bad reviews don't sway you if you're looking for a good cookie book.

A Great Cookie Book!

I was surprised at some of the reviews on this book, I have had good result with it so I can't say anything bad about it. :) This book has so many recipes it is insane (in a good way though). It is a great reference and a wonderful book to pull out when you just want to try something new. I am always looking for something new and interesting to try and boy does this book have it. On many occasions this book has saved me when I needed a last min cookie idea for office parties or my daughters classroom parties. Over all I give it 4 Stars, the book covers everything under the sun and all the recipes I have tried out have come out good.

Move over cookie monster!!

I was getting bored eating the same old cookies I would buy at the store. With this book it would take years to try them all. 1001 recipes on making cookies of every type, texture, and way you could imagine. It is impossible to get bored with this book. I spent hours just trying to decide which cookie to make today and which tomorrow. I can't eat them fast enough to bake another style. You can never be to old or to young for cookies. Get this book, you won't be sorry.

Heaven has got to be 1001 cookie recipes....

This cookie book is the best general cookie cook book on the market. The sheer number of cookies included in the book is marvelous, but even better is that the recipes come with photos as well. If you are looking for an almond cookie with a certain shape and texture, you can find it instantly. This book is perfect for the holiday season and for anyone who enjoys making cookies. Most of the recipes are simple and easy to follow. This book makes a wonderful gift and is a necessary addition to the collection of any serious cook.
