Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Knipe, a cookbook editor, and Marks, a graphic designer, collected eight dozen of their favorite cookie recipes from family and friends. There are familiar Christmas classics as well as more unusual personal contributions here, and most are quickly and easily made (many are suitable for baking with children). Recommended.

"No frills, no silly writing, just clear, precise directions for such treats as lace cookies and chocolate-nut kisses. Eaten in the right spirit, they'll last a lifetime."

5.0 out of 5 stars Deliciously Easy, December 30, 2003

By	BAB (Huntington, CT USA) - See all my reviews

This is a terrific cookie cookbook. I got it out of the library had such good results that I bought it for myself and plan to give it as gifts.

I'm not much of a baker and prefer simple straight forward preparation rather than a lot of steps. There are plenty of recipes that are just that and the results are yummy and elegant cookies.

Readability of the directions is more important to me than photos and the recipes are laid out in an easy to follow format. I also like the introduction to each recipe which includes a description of the finished product that is more informative than a photo. It's also accurate that the recipes aren't just variations off a few basics but have their own uniqueness.

The info on ingredients and decorating are excellent and let you make cookies that look they were done professionally. You'll be a star next Christmas!!

4.0 out of 5 stars More than basics, August 15, 2002

By	Julie Peters Akey "kabuka1" (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for a book that has your basic Christmas cookie recipes. This one has some of those, but not as many as I was hoping for. It does have a good selection of cookies, however, and the recipes seem pretty easy to make.

5.0 out of 5 stars No pictures perhaps but full of flavour and variety, June 23, 2003

By	J. Sampogna "Tumnus_of_Narnia" (Beautiful British Columbia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is at the top of my cookie cook book list because of the originality, ease and sweet delectable taste of most of the cookies listed. I find most cookie books contain variations of the same thing, choc. chip, oatmeal, brownies, sickly sweet goop, etc. you get it. This one is different. Hasn't been one recipe to disappoint me yet. Recipes are well written with introductory descriptions/ history. Many old fashioned type cookies too. Many of the cookies turn out quite elegant as well. Great for parties and bringing to work functions.

You just can't go wrong with this book despite the other reviewer's complaint that it has no photos, only illustrations. The jam and the cream-cheese ones are my favourites. This is the Cookie Monster's "I'd take it with me to a dessert island" type of book!
