5.0 out of 5 stars 101 Reasons to love this book!, February 2, 2008

By	AM Coleman "Anne" (Bethlehem, Pa) - See all my reviews

I could easily give 101 reasons why I love this book; each and every recipe. Mother- daughter team Lucinda and Heather Wallace have put together the most amazing little book of cookie recipes.

There's no fluff, no history, no extras (which I miss a little) just recipes - delicious recipes!

I made four different batches of cookies from this book. I set out to make one from each section, but settled on one each. I made Caramel Apple Crisps from the Bar Cookies chapter and made a huge mistake - I thought I'd have time "later" to get a photo, but the cookies were gone before "later" came. We were all crazy about them, even my brother-in- law who stopped in for a visit.

Next was Oranges and Cream Cookies from the Drop Cookies chapter. Man, were these GOOD! If you've ever bought those canned orange rolls for breakfast, you know - the kind you make at home - these taste nearly identical to those.

Then I tried Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies from the No-Bake chapter. My daughter, Megan, loves maraschino cherries and she was in Heaven with this one. Even my husband, who hates no-bake type cookies, really enjoyed these.

Lastly is the Shaped Cookies chapter from which I made Shortbread Raspberry Kisses. Truly delectable.

I have to say, I have a cookie cookbook form a very big-name baker and I have yet to make a recipe from it that actually turned out well. It was a huge disappointment for a book full of colorful photos. 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes, on the other hand, hasn't let me down one bit. None of the ingredients are exotic or hard-to-find. The baking methods are easy to follow, and the results are absolutely perfect!

My 6 year-old said it best. When asking why I was making all these cookies, I explained to her a book review and what went with that and then she said, "They make good cookies! I mean, they have good recipes!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and Easy Peasy!, February 27, 2008

By	Squid "baker chick" (Greater Southwest) - See all my reviews

We make cookies at home and as a pastry arts instructor, I am always looking for a new recipe for a fantastic cookie. For my students I baked off a fast batch of the Cherry Coconut Cookies, needless to say they all passed the book around the room to write the recipe(and devoured the cookies.)

Every single cookie we have produced out of this no-nonsense cookie book has not only been easy peasy but really good! Great fun to make with the kids and a nice way to enjoy an evening with friends baking and talking; even the most inexperienced baker can have delicious success.

I lost the book for about a week when a friend saw it and took it. Lucky for me he presented me with a beautiful platter of easy peasy cookies. From the Choco Trio Cookies to the Blueberry Crumble Bars each recipe fast, easy and understandable.

While cook books come and go, this little gem will be the one that stays in the kitchen, close at hand. Whatever your cookie emergency, there is a cure! Lucinda and Heather have compiled a collection of down home goodies ranging from bars to drop cookies, cut-outs and no-bake.

So much better than store bought cookies, you can whip up a fast batch or make up some dough and freeze for a rainy day!
