Summary: A wonderful collection of inventive cookies
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. Put together by the folks at Better Homes and Gardens you know it is a recipe book that is filled with quality recipes that turn out well. I enjoyed this book because of its variety. Some cookie cookbooks are just a collection of a bunch of similar recipes. This book has many recipes for all sorts of different kinds of cookies. This book features pecan balls, shortbread, mascarpone creams, brown sugar balls, and so much more. The book gives in dept instructions on decorating. If you are looking for something off the beaten path, and a book that actually features pictures of all of the recipes, well this is the book for you.

Summary: Good, but not excellent
Comment: This is a beutilful book with some very good recipes. But what I do not like is that there are some recipes that call for cookie or cake mixes. If I want to make a brownie, I do not need to buy a book. Simply, I follow the instructions of the package. It is true that sometimes a mix can be enriched, but I find that many times a recipe changes as the brand of the cake mix changes. There are nice photos and ideas, and international cookies. That is why I put four stars.

Summary: Very disappointed
Comment: I found the doughs to be difficult to work with (they were very dry and crumbly, hard to roll out, etc...) and I took extra care to follow the recipe exactly. When it comes to holiday cookie making, I like it to be simple and straight forward. I do not want to start adjusting recipe's as I only do this once a year, so for me this book did not work.
I was also disappointed in the photo's. You never really got a clear look at what the cookie should look like, as they tended to blur the photo slightly (nice effect, but not in a cookbook!). They also did not always tell you how to decorate the cookie like it appeared in the picture (snowman cookies).
