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

This review is from: 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes (Paperback)

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!"

This review is from: 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes (Paperback)

There's a reason this book is called "101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes". All the cookie recipes are really that EASY!
Mother and daughter, Lucinda and Heather Wallace, have combined their talents and created an awesome cookbook just for cookie lovers like us. Everyone loves warm, homemade cookies right from the oven and these are just like the ones Grandma used to make.

I recently conducted an interview with this dynamic duo for the Baking & Desserts topic on [...]. I wanted to know everything about them. How they got into baking, why they wrote the book, are there any other books in their future and what is their favorite cookie? They graciously answered all my questions. They were also kind enough to include a bunch of photos and two scrumptious cookie recipes that were knock-your-socks-off fantastic!

As a former caterer with a wholesale cookie business, I was always on the lookout for not just easy cookies, but delicious cookies as well. I wanted cookies that would melt in my mouth and bring lots of "oohs and aahs" from my customers. I know how many hours, weeks and months were put into each of these recipes. Lucinda and Heather have done all the hard work for us. All we have to do is crank up our ovens and have fun baking!

As Lucinda told me in her interview: "They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and my husband has been walking around with a bigger smile than usual lately." They eat their own cookies, that should say it all!

Simply put, these cookies are To-Die-For! The fact that they're easy is just more icing on the cake! This is one cookbook you need to have in your collection!
