Customer Reviews

A wonderful collection of inventive cookies

I really enjoyed this book. Put together by the folks at Better Homes and Gardens you know it is a recipe book that is filled with quality recipes that turn out well. I enjoyed this book because of its variety. Some cookie cookbooks are just a collection of a bunch of similar recipes. This book has many recipes for all sorts of different kinds of cookies. This book features pecan balls, shortbread, mascarpone creams, brown sugar balls, and so much more. The book gives in dept instructions on decorating. If you are looking for something off the beaten path, and a book that actually features pictures of all of the recipes, well this is the book for you.

If You Are A Baker, You'll LOVE This book!

As someone who bakes at least 15 different types of cookies each Christmas to give away to friends and neighbors, I am always on the lookout for a good cookie cookbook. This one definitely fits the bill with page after page of great recipes and color photographs galore. As the Italian Food Host @ BellaOnline, I must have 25 cookie cookbooks in my collection, but I think this one will become a favorite.If you love love bake cookies, you'll thoroughly enjoy this cookbook!

Cookies for all Year Round

This book was a visual feast with a color photo of each recipie. My mouth watered while looking for cookies to make for an annual cookie exchange. There were a variety of cookie recipes: bar, cut-out, shaped, and dropped with easy to follow instructions. There were a few unusual as well as some old stand by recipies. What a beautiful gift for someone who loves to bake.

Wonderfuly Unique Book

This is by far the best "cookie" book I have read. The recipes are easy to follow, and the book has gorgeous photos of what the cookies look like when all finished, as well as tips on how to package them for a gift-giving. The recipes are basically fool proof and dont require a whole lot of different gimicks to make them. I would strongly urge anyone who loves to cook, but doesent like the hassle of shopping for thousands of hard to find ingredients,to buy this book. After trying out some of these cookies you will see that the book pays for itself after seeing the reactions of family and friends when you give these cookies away as gifts.

How wonderfully complete!

Don't be confused about the title of this book: there are many more cookie recipes here than just for Christmas! A picture of some size is included with each recipe, and some recipes have tips on preparation, technique, adornment, or decoration with them. A joy to read, this cookbook puts the fun back in Christmas cookies!
