5.0 out of 5 stars yummy soft chewy cookies, August 8, 1999

By	Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is an essential guide for lovers of soft, chewy cookies. It contains a wide variety of melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious cookies. The recipes are easy to follow & use mostly common ingredients.

The author does a nice job of explaining the basics as well as offering hints on the ingredients & supplies. She even gives instructions on storing & freezing the cookies properly.

There are sections for elegant, tea-time, kid-style, chocolate & holiday cookies as well as popular favorites like chocolate chip, bars-style, & macaroons. Healthy ideas with whole-wheat, oats, granola & vegetables are here too.

Some of my favorite cookies are the maple walnut bars & chocolate peppermint patties. My friends raved about the butterscotch meringue squares. You must also try the macadamia & white chocolate-chunk drops.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soft, chewy and, most importantly, DELICIOUS cookies, August 16, 2002

By	K. Corn "reviewer" (Indianapolis,, IN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Cookie lovers are often divided into two types - those who like them crisp and those who like them chewy. Because my husband won't touch crisp cookies (no matter how delicious), I bought this book, hoping I'd find at least a few recipes to add to his favorites. I was delighted to find plenty that satisfied his sweet tooth, from classics such as Oatmeal cookies to more unusual selections like Hazelnut Macaroon Brownies. An added bonus- the author offers special tips for making sure cookies come out their softest and chewiest. There are also sections on Cookies for the holidays, cookies for chocolate lovers, cookies kids love (although my kids loved cookies from nearly every section in this book), layered bars, etc. This has become a book I turn to again and again!
