My mom got this book for my daughter in 2003. We've had great times over the years making cookies. I've uploaded many photos as proof! Buy it for yourself and as a gift. Classic.

This is an excellent resource for old and new favorites. The recipes are easy to follow and we’ve had great success with them. Also love the pictures are included for every cookie, which display well on my Kindle.

Great gift item. This book was much better than it appeared in the photo and at under $6 bucks it was a great deal. Got it for someone who is a really good baker and she was impressed with the recipes and the quality of the book.

This book is very complete. The recipes are well organized and the book is put together to be cook-friendly. The spiral binding makes it very easy to see and use the book. Dede Wilson's recipes are an excellent addition to any baker's collection. The recipes are especially great for the Christmas season, but can certainly be used year-round. I really enjoy using this cook book. : )

Lots of pics and back stories of each cookie. A couple of new recipes that I had not known about. I purchased it both in book form and Kindle. I travel for a living and work on Naval ships as a Baker so this book comes in handy when I want a reference on International cookies.

I bought this book because I had browsed it before as a libarary copy. Thus I knew I really wanted it - because of the types of recipes and format. Well written and lots of useful info.

Well...I chose four recipes for my yearly Christmas cookie baking and only two turned out good (after following the instructions to a "T"). I will continue to explore the other recipes and hope that the majority will justify my spending on this book.
