Chocolate Chips Galore

This book contaian so many different recipes for chocolate chip cookies. It's wonderful. So far the recipes that I have tried are great. Some are a little too sweet with the full amount of sugar, for my buds. I scale back when baking a batch for myself. Even people with sweet tooth extremes like most of the ladies in my family, like the cookies better without all of the sugar. The flavors come through, it is a highly rewarding chocolaty experience. Enjoy.

Cant wait

I cant wait to try these recipes. They are all so different when you read the descriptions of the ingredients. She has the book very organized and tells you what cookies can be mailed as gifts and how long they will last. There are also some great recipes for dark chocolate 70% cocoa cookies, which I love. Have fun eating!!!

Great little book!

I was pleased with clear recipes, and that they were laid out so you could lay the book flat and see all the ingredients and directions at once. And the results were delish, too!!!
