Cookies come in an enormous variety of shapes, textures, and flavors. But they all have certain universal qualities in common from filling the kitchen and the home with a delicious aroma as they bake in the oven to rapidly disappearing from the table as they please palates and satisfy appetites. Cookbook author, food writer and culinary instructor Bev Shaffer has compiled a colorfully illustrated compendium of thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes for cookies of all kinds in "Cookies To Die For!: The Complete Guide For Cookie Lovers". Here are assembled step-by-step instructions for making such exotic cookies as biscotti, wafers, kilfli, rugelach, shortbreads, Florentines, as well as traditional recipes for butter, sugar, chocolate, peanut butter cookies and more! From Hearty Gingerbread Cookies; Cranberry-Orange Oatmeal Cookies; Mexican Wedding Cookies with a Twist; and Sour Cream Lemon Drops; to Zucchini Lemon Bars; Swedish Filbert Cookies; Orange Madeleines with White Chocolate Glaze and Bev's Raspberry Dust; and Crumb-Topped Pineapple Bars, "Cookies To Die For!" clearly and completely lives up to its title and would enhance any family or community library cookbook collection.

Good collection of cookie recipes...you'll be satisfied with this book. However, there aren't many pictures of the cookies...for those of you who like a picture of every recipe.

Love the pictures in this cook book. Could not wait to get this book after enjoying the Brownies to Die For! I have always been interested in trying the hungarian kiflis. Now I can venture into an ethnic treat. This is not your ordinary cookbook. I enjoy the author's sense of humor and even if you don't bake this is still a treat for the eyes.

If you want your friends to be envious of your baking skills, this is the book. New or old, just so you can read the print and follow directions, give it a look.
