Inventive and inspiring...The recipes in this cookie collection are so well written that even the beginner can tackle them with confidence. -- Helen Witty, author of Mrs. Witty's Monster Cookies

Marie Simmons has done all of us brownie, blondie and shortbread fans a huge favor. A to Z Bar Cookies is the best collection of them I've ever seen. Bar none! -- Jean Anderson, author of Jean Anderson's Sin-Free Desserts

4.0 out of 5 stars Bar Many, May 16, 2000

By A Customer

This book is absolutely beautiful to look at. The pictures are so pretty that they make you want to bake everything immediately. I made the applesauce bars, and the praline topping was so delicious that even though I am not ordinarily excited by apple desserts, I wanted to eat the whole pan. I took the pan to work instead and people offered to fall on their knees and worship me. I also made the chocolate chip bars, which I found to be unexciting. However, after the great first experience and the great pictures, I look forward to trying more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yum, Yum: I get hungry just looking at the pictures, July 14, 2003

I own about 100 baking books (ok, maybe 50) and this is my favorite. It has great color photgraphs (just about every recipe has a photo.) I especially like the Island Bar (coconut, nuts, chocolate: what's not to like?) The Utterly Delicious Bars (caramel and brownies) are also good. I highly recommend this book.
