MEMORIES

I ordered this book because it included a recipe that I'd found in a Pillsbury Contest Winner's book in 1962 that became a family favorite. Pillsbury has a collection of "Best of the bake-off" recipes in this book and they all sound wonderful. My daughter and I enjoyed the colorful and well presented photos of the finished creations, a beautiful collection of baked cookies and bars. Can't wait to try them.

Great cookie book.

I first saw this book through my library and after looking through it, decided I had to have it. I have made 3 of the recipes and all are delicious and easy to make. I bought 2 more to give as gifts.

Awesome Cookbook

I purchased one of these for me and did not find the recipes difficult at all. Simple great instructions and the recipes I have tried are great. As a matter of fact, my staff has a pre Christmas cookie party every year and I was so impressed with this book, I purchased one for each of my staff as a special treat because they were always asking for my recipes.

Love to bake!

I first discovered this awesome new book at my public library and then decided I had to own it. The pictures are great! I love to see what the finished baked good will look like. Recipes are easy to follow, even for the novice baker! Great book! Give it a try!!!
