What a great cookie cookbook! I really enjoyed the large variety of recipes along with the different options for those to make one focused on kids or even the holidays. I look forward to making all the recipes I saved in the future.

I bought this at a Re-sale shop. (25-cents. I think I overpaid)
I've flipped through it, and marked 2 recipes. (both of which I already have)
I'm not terribly impressed with this cookbook. It's not sure if it's a Coffee-table book or a cookbook. It has thick paper (like moisten your fingers to be sure you've not skipped a page)
There's some recipes in here that I wondered, "Why? Why would you do *that?*" For example, the Jam sandwich cookies on the front; inside the recipe calls to cover the jam in mini-M&M chocolate candies.
The positive is it's large-print writing, and colourful pictures. It might be okay for 9 or 10 year olds, just beginning to bake; that's about it.
Most of the recipes you can find in any other cookie/squares book, or on the back of a can, box, or package.
In all honesty, it's a book that's trying too hard to be something special. (So, I've donated it to the local library)

Best recipes? Almond Orange Cookies and the pecan cookies with chocolate. Do NOT try the 3 types of Ginger cookies; they are terrible.
Easy to follow directions and beautiful pictures. Three and a half stars because of those ginger nightmares!
