The BEST cookie book

I own more than a dozen cookie-specific cookbooks and have found that this is by far the best. There are no pictures, but if you blindly pick a recipe at random, you will not be disappointed. The print is a good size so that you don't need to necessarily squint to see the steps. Particularly good are the Pecan Puffs, Coconut Macaroons, Madeleines, Double and Triple Chocolate Chocolate Chips. I entered them in a company cookie cook-off and won 2 of the 3 prizes (Pecan Puffs and Coconut Macaroons won). I only wish that the book were still in print.

A treasure trove of cookies

Excellent assortment of cookies ranging in difficulty from simple drop cookies to more complex Tuiles. Included are American favorites like chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies and brownies and traditional cookies of foreign parentage like(Viennese) Ischler Hearts, (Austrian) Linzer cookies, (Greek) Kourambiedes and Mexican Wedding Cakes. It's pleasantly surprising to find Hermits and Springerle in a book this brief. Although I have a number of books on baking, this is the one I turn to for melt-in-your-mouth, delicious-beyond-belief shortbread cookies.
