I've owned this book for years, and though sadly it's now out of print, it is readily available from used booksellers right here ... . This book has some really wonderful recipes, many of them out-of-the-ordinary, and many traditional ethnic cookies (marked as Swedish or Finnish, and so-on) organized into sections such as bar cookies, drop cookies, refrigerator cookies, shaped cookies, holiday cookies and so on. There are full-color pictures of almost every cookie. The recipes are interspersed with illustrated instructions and tips, and there are sections of the book dedicated to decorating cookies, storing cookies, giving cookies as gifts and how best to pack each type, and a list of recipes in the book which are "good travelers." I highly recommend that anyone who loves making and giving cookies, especially during the holidays, pick up this book.

I have this book and ordered it for my son for Christmas. I have always loved Better Homes and Gardens magazines as well as their cook books.

As a child in the 80s my mom pulled this cookbook out every Christmas to do some of the baking. It has some really great recipes...including the best oatmeal cookies I have ever tasted, festive bars called Nutty Noels, and some awesome brownies. I highly recommend this cookie cookbook for the sweets lover. It might be out of print, but the recipes stand the test of time.

Bought book for my grandkids so they can make cookies as good as my wife does. We love this book cause it has a lot of great cookie recipes!!!!!!!!

I couldn't have been happier with the Better Homes and Gardens Homemade Cookies Cook Book. It came in the condition promised to me and will be a handy and useful reference for years to come. I haven't purchased many items through Amazon, but I plan to be much more of a customer in the future. Thank you, Amazon, for making the process so easy.

Considering this book was published in the 50's or 60's it looks new! Thankyou so much for the quick delivery, it helped make Christmas great!
