4.0 out of 5 stars Charming and Delicious Fun, July 12, 1998

By A Customer

A delightfully refreshing take on the traditional art of cookie making. Whenever I bake these cookie for friends or for a function they always draw rave reviews. Good for either an afternoon project with a child or baking a fancy treat for a party. I especially love the Cactus Cookies and Devon Cream Sugar Cookies. An all around great book, it even includes insruction for packing cookies to ship to childen at college! Beautiful photography!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Cookies with Fabulous Instructions, December 12, 1998

By A Customer

This cookbook is filled with mouth-watering cookies that are as luscious to look at as they are to eat. Better still, even a neophyte baker such as myself can follow the clear, easy to understand instructions that accompany each recipe. Peanut butter lovers should not miss the peanut butter cookies in this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars i have loved to use this book for 10 years, October 13, 2007

By	troglodistes - See all my reviews

this really is a good book filled with many cookie ideas. every recipe that i have tried has come out nicely. she incorporates some nifty ingredients like vanilla bean seeds, maple flavoring and devon cream, which helps to expand one's knowledge base. i recommend the following of hers in particular: peanut butter cookie, shortbread, vanilla bean butter cookie, and linzertorte. the photos are also nice. i have a lot of really good cookbooks that i have accumulated over the years, but this one was a lucky find that i like to have on hand.
