Summary: Great recipes in this tiny little gem
Comment: If you love peanut butter cookies and want to make them, then buy this book for that recipe alone -- they are heavenly. I plan to bake my way through this little book over the next few months. As usual the Cook's Illustrated team provides excellent recipes and explain the how's and why
s of their testing in order to achieve this excellence. My one disappointment is the brevity of the book, but I would still recommend it because the recipes are wonderful.

Summary: Can not dispute the recipes ...
Comment: Quite honestly dessert recipes from the people at Cooks Illustrated are my flat out favorite. What ever they do, I believe they are some of the best that you will try. Their chocolate chip cookies are delicious and about as close as to a wonderful bakery as you are going to get. This series of books disappoints me. Think the size of a large postcard, that is going to be the size of this book, its not thick either. The Dessert Bible would be a better choice many more recipes than what this has at not a great increse in price. I am disappointed at the lack of content in this boo. Great recipes, but not a great price.

Summary: No really, these are seriously great recipes.
Comment: When I was growing up, my mom made the BEST chocolate chip cookies. Yes, every adult thinks that his mom's recipe was the best, but I've now found a recipe that tops even my mom's. I loved hers because they came out really thick and chewy. I'm not a fan of the traditional tollhouse cookies which I find are too flat and boring. Mom said she makes hers with vegetable shortening because butter spreads too much. But butter DOES taste better, and in this book is a recipe that uses butter AND results in a thick, chewy, gorgeous cookie. Sorry Ma, but they got you beat! The book is worth it for this recipe alone. But the Sugar Cookie recipe is also a winner. I ate half the batch as soon as they were cool. YUM! My one criticism is rather ungenerous number of recipes. But I'll take quality over quantity any day.
