This is truly a great book for anyone, novice to expert, to use to create a wide variety of cookies following the clear, easy to follow instructions。 The illustrations are gorgeous and made me want to try so many of the recipes,

Call me the cookie monster。 I can pass on cake and some other treats。 But cookies? We all have room for a cookie, right? There are so many recipes in this book! There are classics like chocolate chip and oatmeal, and some that I can't wait to try like Pecan Freezer Squares and Brownie Doughnuts。 Some of the recipes require some pre-planning and are a little fancier than dump in a bowl and bake。 I am sure that anyone who reads this will find their new favorite cookie in these pages。 The pictures Call me the cookie monster。 I can pass on cake and some other treats。 But cookies?

I usually wait until closer to the publishing date to review books, but I just could not help reviewing The Cookie Bible。 With inspiring photos, though I wish there were more, the cookbook features excellent recipes with easy to follow instructions。 The author takes the time to introduce basic methods, great tips and hints for success, essential ingredients, and helpful equipment。 The recipes are divided into logical sections, which I have listed below with some of the standouts。Rolled by Hand: I usually wait until closer to the publishing date to review books, but I just could not help reviewing The Cookie Bible。 With inspiring photos, though I wish there were more, the cookbook features excellent recipes with easy to follow instructions。 The author takes the time to introduce basic methods, great tips and hints for success, essential ingredients, and helpful equipment。 The recipes are divided into logical sections, which I have listed below with some of the standouts。Rolled by Hand: Cranberry Chocolate Chippers; Jumbles; Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies; Tahini Crisps; Mexican Wedding Cake CookiesDropped or Piped: Chocolate Phantoms; Florentines; Churro NuggetsShaped by Hand: Cream Cheese Butter Dough for Rugelach; Apricot Walnut Rugelach; Strudel CookiesRolled and Cut: Coconut Crisps; Lemon Jammies; Chocolate Wafers; Turkish Ginger Lime CookiesHoliday Cookies: Gingerbread Folks; Spritz Cookies; PizzelleBar and Cake Cookies: Cocoa Brownies; Baby Cheesecakes; Brownie Doughnuts; Whoopie Pies; Lemon Cranberry SquaresMeringues and Candies: Meringue Mushrooms; Lacy Susans: Bandy SnapsExtra Specials: Dulce de Leche; Wicked Good Ganache; Lemon Curd; Raspberry JamI appreciated that the index was located in the front of the cookbook, for ease of use。 The instructions for the more specialized cookies were extremely helpful, as measuring and laying out certain cookies can be difficult。Overall, as someone who has baked many cookies over a number of years, I would recommend The Cookie Bible to anyone wanting to make delicious cookies and bars。Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy of The Cookie Bible by NetGalley and the publisher, Mariner Books。 The decision to read and review this cookbook was entirely my own。 。。。more

Good cookie recipes; I made the Oatmeal Cookies and was highly pleased with the results。 This would be an excellent cookbook for beginners。 June is upon us; this would make lovely shower gifts with cookie cutters, a few pretty tea towels in a basket, and there you are with the perfect gift!I highly recommend。 Thank you, #Netgalley #TheCookieBiblecarolintallahassee

The Cookie Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum is by far the best, most comprehensive cookie recipe book I have ever seen。 I have a library of over 200 cookbooks and several dedicated just to cookies。 I think every kind of cookie there is is in this book。 Beautifully illustrated with mouthwatering pictures。 Easy to understand directions assure you will bake great cookies。 I especially love the tips & tricks section for each cookie, I learned a lot of new things and I have been baking for 57 years!

I highly recommend the ginger snaps and the date crescents。 Thank you #NetGalley and #MarinerBooks for the ARC of #TheCookieBible。 。。。more

To me, this is what makes a great cookbook (or in this case。。。。COOKIE book) GREAT! It had recipes that made you want to try them (as in yummy!), it was a well organized book, and the photos were terrific。 I have recently tried a few of the recipes out for guests in my home and they brought rave reviews from family and friends。 I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review, but I will also be looking forward to my own hard copy at publication time!
