Favorite Cookie Cookbook!

My favorite cookie cookbook! My favorites are the "Soft Molasses Cookie" and the "Lighter than Air Sugar Cookie" Recipes. Everything I make out of this cookbook is an automatic hit. Great for beginning bakers as a teaching tool.

I first read this cookbook when it came out in 2005, checking it out of the library back to back times until I reached the limit! I loved how Eckhardt's few simple rules "standardized" baking, and turned out excellent flavor each time! Time passed, and I forgot all about this cookbook until last year when I was making my Christmas list. Reading it now, 12 years later, has been like catching up with a long lost friend. Just yesterday I tried out the Tunnel of Fudge cake recipe- scrumptious. Can't wait to bake my way through the rest of the book!

I have had this book so many years that I've forgotten when and where I purchased it.  I only know that it has the best assortment of cookie recipes I ever found in one book.  I have picked up other cookie cook books over the years and none compare.  The book gives a great overview of making and storing cookies and then the recipes are broken into sections that help you choose the types of cookies you want to make.  My favorite recipes are; Peanut Butter Pinwheels, Pecan Drops and Hazelnut Balls.  My book is starting to fall apart so I need to buy another!
Enjoy.

One of my favorite, favorite cookbooks!  I love making desserts from this cookbook and bringing them in to work for people to sample.  The cover dessert is 100% my favorite, aesthetically speaking.  The artful disarray is very appealing!

These recipes are great! I have made everyone in the book and there was not a "crumbler" in there! I ended up buying more of the books to give away as presents because everyone kept asking for the recipes. The one thing I really love about this book is all the pictures, you get to see what the cookies should look like when they are done. Buy it .. you won't be sorry.
Enjoy!

I bought this cookbook when I was a pre-teen and able to eat giant portions of cookies.  Now, as a not-so-young adult with a much slower metabolism, this cookbook has a treasured place on my shelf, and it's not due to nostalgia, ALL the recipes in here are excellent!  Many of them have a permanent place in my Christmas cookie rotation, and I get a lot of requests for recipes, which is my hallmark of a good cookie.  And I'll never forget how quickly the peanut butter and jelly pillows, a sublime recipe, disappeared at my high school bake sales.

This cookbook is far better than Maida Heatter's cookie cookbook. I was thrilled to discover that the author, Helen Witty, had published two other cookbooks and bought both without hesitation.

Yummy...Cookies by Royce Anderson has whet my appetite for homemade cookies.  My only problem with the book is deciding which recipe I'll bake first!  There are old standbys  like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and brownies all the way to a type of "pecan candies" and "milano" that I am anxious to try.  All of the recipes seemed worth the effort and easy to accomplish.  I would definitely buy this book to have easy delicious sounding cookie recipes on hand.

I originally borrowed this book amoungst others from the library to make cookies one weekend. I am buying this book! It is jam packed with cookie recipes, it has everyone imaginable. There are 547 pages of cookie baking items. You want drop cookies, it has them, bars, cut-outs, no bake, frostings, glazes, etc. They also include general baking information. The pictures are vivid and colorful and there are a lot of them. The pages are glossy coated so they do not get ruined when I spill melted butter on them. The copy I had was a hard bound book. A MUST HAVE and a great gift for your favorite baker!

This recipe book has been great, and greatly used within our household.  Our son has an egg allergy and I found it so difficult to find yummy desserts that he could eat.  This book delivers!  The chocolate chip cookies NEVER last in our home and the cheesecake is to-die-for!  The only downside is that there are no pictures, otherwise - BUY THIS BOOK!

I previously had this book, lent it out and it never came back.  I was sooo happy to find a copy on Amazon!  The book arrived in perfect condition and it came really fast. The Angel cookies are so great, the Chocolate Crackle cookies made with a chocolate cake mix are so delicious and stay moist and chewy, we make them every year at Christmas. Every  recipe that I've made from this cookbook is a winner!

This is my default cookbook for cookie recipes. These are not Martha Stewart recipes (i.e no ridiculous amount of steps or cookies that have to be refrigerated and eaten in 3 days. Sorry, but I have spent money on Martha cookie recipes and that was a huge waste of money). The recipes in this book are easy, delicious, and time-tested. You know that they have been enjoyed by generations.

My one word of caution is that the recipes often have really large yields (like 5-7 dozen), and I think you will find that you will want to make the cookies a little larger, so your yield will be smaller. My favorite cookies are: Peanut Butter (p. 262), Sugar Cookies (so delicious - you don't need icing on these. We always decorated ours with colored sugar; p. 275); Molasses Crinkles (p. 260); and Sour Cream cookies (delicious - trust me; p. 266).

I must admit I have not tried too many of the other recipes (veggies; meats), although the Scalloped Sweet Potatoes & Apples (p. 166) has been a hit at Thanksgiving.  Still, this is one of my most treasured cookbook because I know that the baking recipes are wonderful.

Sally has always had a fantastic baking blog filled with gorgeous photography, and now shes combined those talents with tons of delicious cookie recipes! Ive never had a bad experience with one of Sallys recipes. Every page has tips and tricks, passed along from her trial and error in the kitchen. Shes so relatable and talented. Buy this book and her others as well - and then make the Brown Butter Snickerdoodles! You won't be disappointed!

Everytime I make cookies from this cookbook people ask for the recipes. I have started to buy them as Christmas gifts and put a batch of cookies from the book with the book. If you bake any of the cookies people will ask for the recipe. Make sure you have the book handy. The Holiday Lime cookies are a big hit every time. The Almond Bonbons are as pretty as they are yummy.  The Double Chocolate Cherry cookies were a big hit. I substituted dark chocolate and pretend they are heart healthy. The Candy Bar Brownies are good for those who love a really sweet gooey cookie. If you like cookies this is the book for you. If you don't love cookies then buy the book and make the cookies for a friend.

I have been a fan of the Cookie + Kate blog for many years, and I didn't think the book could top the blog, but it does! I have made 8 or 9 things already and every single one was delicious. I like the way Kate writes recipes with clear, specific instructions and extra tips to help you avoid common mistakes. She also gives great advice on how long leftovers last, what you can freeze, etc. as well as adapting recipes for various diets. If you like to cook vegetarian or are thinking about trying more veggie recipes, this would be my No. 1 cookbook recommendation (and I own dozens). It's worth it for the creative hearty salads and dressings alone!
