Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

It's out there somewhere--the ultimate chocolate chip cookie, perfectly baked, perfectly formed, heaped with divine chocolate pieces. In fact, the recipe for that dream cookie may well be found nestled in the pages of The Search for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie. The story behind this cookbook is intriguing. A small guest house in western Massachusetts (well known for its own home-cooked cookies) sponsored a competition to find the best cookie recipe in America. More than 2,600 recipes flooded in, and over 100 of the best grace the pages of this book. Every imaginable cookie variation is here--yogurt, ice cream, honey, pumpkin--even potato chips! Undoubtedly, many of these recipes are family secrets; others have been concocted through experimentation and chocolate chip innovation. Yet the beauty of all of these tasty treats is their simplicity. All that's required is basic cookie dough, mixed with that extra-special ingredient--be it shredded apple for Apple Orchard Chocolate Chippers, or a small cup of Kahlua for the tempting Kahlua Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Some recipes are strange to say the least. How about Zesty Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies for a truly distinctive cookie? Aside from wonderful recipes, the book also provides handy hints for the storing, mixing, and baking of this favorite indulgence food. --Naomi Gesinger --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From Library Journal

Robbins, author of books on prize-winning pies and pickles and preserves, has gathered cookie recipes from regional, state, and county fairs all over the country. Most are for familiar, all-American favoritesbut there are some unusual recipes here too. Nothing special, but this is a handy collection of homey, quickly prepared sweets. Steege's book presents the best cookies from a contest that generated 2600 recipes: traditional chocolate chip cookies, variations on the traditional, healthy cookies, double chocolate chips, special occasion cookies, cookies made with macadamia nuts, apricots, potato chips, pumpkin, coconut, and lots of chocolate. Chocolate chip cookies are an enduring addiction; most collections will want this. JS

5.0 out of 5 stars THE VERY BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPES!, January 18, 1999
By Lisa Goss (lmgoss@aol.com) (Ann Arbor, Michigan) - See all my reviews
If you are picky about baking and eating the best chocolate chip cookies, this is for you. The book goes far beyond the regular Toll House recipe to include many versions of the traditional chocolate chip cookie as well as numerous other varieties. My husband and I have made several of the recipes and we can't wait to try all the others. You may not consider every cookie awesome, but this book contains too many fantastic recipes to pass up. Plus, it's a great deal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, August 4, 2008
By Obigrrl "Jen" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
I already knew how great this book is. My fiancè's mother had given to him before she died, and it recently got sent to Goodwill in a mix-up. He was very upset about losing it, so I came here to find a replacement and I was so glad I found another copy! He was too! :) He's tried several of the recipes and they are yummy! Very good book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes!
You will love the recipes in this book! A little disappointing because there aren't any pictures, but it's all about the recipes anyway! A great collection that's worth the money.
