Customer Reviews

Beautiful book--eye candy (eye cookies?)

I love this book. I wanted to make beautiful sugar cookies. This book is just wonderful. I got it as a gift for my friends and we just can't stop looking at it. The photos are beautiful-one cookie per page and a description of how that cookie is decorated on the opposite page. I also recommend the companion book that covers cookie decorating for all seasons. There are not a lot of different recipes in this cookie book, but if that is what you are looking for try "Cookie Swap" by Julia Usher. We were absolutely thrilled with how our cookies turned out this year. Our friends and neighbors were so impressed!

NOT decorating ideas

I bought this book online thinking it was going to be cute cookie decorating ideas. The recipes are solid and it is still a good cookbook, just be wary that it is NOT like the Whimsical Bakehouse cake book.

The BEST cookies!!!

I think this is the best Christmas cookie cookbook - ever! Normally I might like one or two recipes out of a cookbook but with this one, you CAN'T go wrong! I did all my Christmas baking out of this book this year and they were ALL keepers! My husband took a bite of the pecan cream cheese pastry crescents (basically Rugelach) and immediately said, "Homerun!" The lemon crumble bars are the best I have EVER had ... the rainbow cookies will be made in my house every Christmas from here on out. I wasn't looking for a cookbook with ton of fancy decorating tips b/c there is no way I would have time for that. The rainbow cookies took a ton of time but where worth the effort. Most of the other cookies/bars were assembled/baked very quickly. Nothing seemed overly complicated but every one of the cookies was simply AWESOME! I am buying several of these books and sending them to friends and family. If you are looking for the best cookie recipes you can find, buy this book! You won't be disappointed! I love that there is a huge variety of cookies in just this one book so I didn't have tons of computer print-outs or other cookbooks in my kitchen. Just this one slim book! It's perfect!
