Dede Wilson is one of the best bakers out there. Her cookies are amazing! There are cookies you can make with kids, and very scrumptious cookies for adults. You have to try the Anytime S'mores Cappuccino Biscotti Dunkers, Chewy brownie Chip drops, and the chocolate polka-dot mint crackles. Also make sure to check out the chocolate chip peanut butter hills that her friend chelsea brown made- yum. All of the cookies in this book are amazing!

This book contaian so many different recipes for chocolate chip cookies. It's wonderful. So far the recipes that I have tried are great. Some are a little too sweet with the full amount of sugar, for my buds. I scale back when baking a batch for myself. Even people with sweet tooth extremes like most of the ladies in my family, like the cookies better without all of the sugar. The flavors come through, it is a highly rewarding chocolaty experience. Enjoy.

I cant wait to try these recipes. They are all so different when you read the descriptions of the ingredients. She has the book very organized and tells you what cookies can be mailed as gifts and how long they will last. There are also some great recipes for dark chocolate 70% cocoa cookies, which I love. Have fun eating!!!

I was pleased with clear recipes, and that they were laid out so you could lay the book flat and see all the ingredients and directions at once. And the results were delish, too!!!

The recipes in this book are amazing, and the introduction is very helpful and informative. She tells you flat out to use good quality ingredients, and not to use no/low-fat ingredients - these are meant to be savored and enjoyed. While I like to cook healthy, if you're going to eat a cookie, you might as well make it worth the splurge - just be sure not to eat too many (if you can!). She gives tips with each recipe, that are truly helpful, and even gives suggestions how to give a little variation to the recipe. I am determined to try most of these recipes, but have tried only about 7 so far. Out of those, only 1 didn't work out for me (the malted milk ball cookies), but I overcooked them so it was my fault. The buttermilk choc. chip brownies have become the requested dessert for my father and sister's birthdays (though I have to leave out the pecans since they're both allergic). The butterfinger brownies, caramel surprise cups (amazing out of the oven or warmed in the microwave), and pb cup cookies never last if my brothers find them, and my mom and I also love the chocolate chocolate chip shortbread cookies. The Holy Smokes Cranberry cookies are also amazing! ( I was also surprised to find out in her notes that they are served at a restaurant less than an hour from my parents house). To sum it all up, if you love cookies and chocolate, this book will not disappoint. These recipes run the gamut from the classic toll house cookies to white chocolate chip lemon pucker cookies all the way to cognac apricot rugelach w/mini chips - you're bound to find something different and special for everyone you know.

I love this book, it has photos of everything in it so you also have a great idea of what everything is supposed to look like. Also all the ideas are great and the instructions are very easy to understand.

This is an awesome cookbook. The first think that I love about it is that it has pictures for each of the recipes. The second thing I love about it is that it is spiral so that it will sit in a book holder or lay flat on the counter to read the recipes. The next thing is that there are no super difficult recipes in the book, it's all beginner friendly. And the last thing, the recipes are awesome. I have had the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookie which was AWSOME!! I would recommend this to anyone, novice to the expert. Great book!!

I thought it would be fun to change up the chocolate chip cookie, but I realize that the original is the best!

I love this cookbook! I've tried about half a dozen of the recipes, and loved each one. My favorites are "Cinnamon Oatmeal Chocolate Chip" and "Molasses Spice Chocolate Chip."
