Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Too soon for Christmas baking? Yes, but not for deliberating. This little book, almost literally a handful of recipes, trots out the expected with a simple flourish, making a compact contribution to the holidays. Robbins ( The Dumpling Cookbook ) includes gingerbread menageries, springerle cookies, chocolate madeleines, brownies, ginger snaps, shortbread, lace cookies, meringues, linzer cookies, macaroons and various candies. Her directions are brief, reasonable and personable, but not indulgent. And they are interspersed, occasionally, with appropriate quotes from writers like Bette Pesetsky, May Sarton, William Shakespeare and Dylan Thomas. Robbins is aware of the uses of cookies as decorations, too. The cookies are divided into two kinds: one-step and two-step, requiring less or more preparation. While the book will undoubtedly answer pre-season needs, it would also make an appropriate Christmas gift: small, sweet and serviceable.

Little book chock full of goodies,

This review is from: Cookies for Christmas: Fifty of the Best Cookie Recipes for Holiday Gift Giving, Decorating, and Eating (Paperback)
First of all, I hadn't read the dimensions of this book so if you order it, don't be surprised when this tiny little book (5" square) arrives!!! There are also no elaborate, beautiful glossy photos of the finished products inside. At first I was thinking I wasn't even going to keep it, being it wasn't the typical kind of recipe book I tend to steer towards. Well.....I started glancing through it, and found myself reading the different recipes, saying things like "hmmm", and "oooh", and "yum"! So...I guess before I get rid of it I should try out some of these recipes. From reading what others said about it, they rave about the wonderful recipes, so I guess it's time for me to get busy baking!
