Customer Reviews

Awesome!

This is a great cookie baking book - firstly, its very practical, the spiral bound feature makes it easy to follow the recipes whilst preserving the book's appearance [wish all cookbooks were that way]. The recipes are fun, and easy to make with lots of practical tips like melting the butter and allowing to cool to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. All in all, a cookie baker's delight and practical too!

A Great Variety

Both my roommate and I are avid bakers, and we are always looking for new cookie recipes. I saw this book and after flipping through it decided I needed to have it. Lauren Chattman includes recipes for classics such as chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, and slice-and-bake sugar cookies. Also included are some more interesting ideas, such as black forest chocolate chip cookies, cornmeal cranberry squares, after-dinner microwave brownies, and m & m biscotti. The black & white cookies were a big hit with my friends, and they were surprisingly easy to make. Tonight I'm making sour cream chocolate chip cookies, and I am so excited to taste them! I really recommend this book to anyone who has any interest in baking--no skill-level necessary!

My new favorite cookie book

I got this for Christmas from a knowing mom who said that now that my children are school age I will be making more cookies. This book is well organized, has a good broad spectrum of recipes, and is easy to use. The color photos make your mouth water. So far every thing I've tried from this book has turned out GREAT!

With kid-friendly recipes and plenty of baker's tips, it's not to be missed!

The 200-some cookie recipes in this title differ from competing cookie cookbooks: they've all been 'kid tested', decorations are done with kids in mind, and MOM'S BIG BOOK OF COOKIES: 200 FAMILY FAVORITES YOU'LL LOVE MAKING AND YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE EATING includes special tips on baking for kids. With kid-friendly recipes and plenty of baker's tips, it's not to be missed! Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

C is for Cookie - That's Good Enough for Me!

I love to bake, but sometimes faall into a rut of making the same things over and over. This huge collection of cooking inspires me to try new things that are still kid-friendly (esp. important for my picky kid!) Chattman sprinkles her recipes with charming antedotes about her childhood and family, it's like walking into a warn kitchen that smells of freshly baked cookies and chatting with a friend.
