A must have for cookie bakers 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I borrowed this book from a friend in December and I still haven't given it back! I use it so much, I got cookie dough all over it and I finally had to have one of my own! I have used many of the recipes in this book and each one has turned out better than the last! The butter cookies I baked for the holidays were so good my family couldn't believe they weren't from a bakery! I get alot of requests for the peanut butter cookies too! This is one of those rare cookbooks that I feel confident making any recipe from and bringing it to a party. I have yet to find one that doesn't taste great! You have to have this book! And such a low price, what do you have to lose?!?

This book has every imaginable kind of chocolate cookie that is worth making. So far, the recipes that I have tried make fantastic cookies. Perfect for both the everyday cookie baker and those who just need to make the occasional batch around the holidays.

I love this book, but would be absolutely enamored if there were pictures-my only complaint. I have tried several of the recipes and have had great results.

it's been fun trying these recipes 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Since chocolate chip cookies are about the only kind that my kids ask for or will eat, I figured this was the cookbook for us. So far I have tried 4 recipes from this book. The first two came out with a rating of 'acceptable, but not as good as Mom's', the third one I tried was on page 43, Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookies. At first glance, I thought they left out some ingredients, but I followed the recipe exactly, and to my surprise, the result was a very light, and very delicious NOT sweet cookie - no sugar 'high' after eating these (nice for a change). I thought this recipe made the book purchase worthwhile, although my friends still like my original recipe best. The fourth experiment, Mocha Dreams, did not appear to have any missing ingredients, so in good faith I proceeded with the recipe. I mixed and mixed and mixed with my little electric mixer, and the consistency of the batter never changed from being like sand. Finally, I broke down and added a forbidden egg white (these were supposed to be egg-less cookies) and enough vanilla to make a somewhat workable batter. Once these cookies were done, I served them to my family, and received these comments: 'wow!', 'great', 'very rich', 'delicious'. I gave this book a rating of 4 because my friends still like my original chocolate chip cookies better, and because I had to modify the Mocha Dreams recipe (I don't like having to modify baked goods recipes, it makes me nervous - it's not quite like modifying a soup or stew recipe). None-the-less, I appreciate the variety of ways that are presented in this book for making our family's favorite cookie. I will continue to try out the recipes from this book - one per week - so in two years I may be able to write a much more educated review!

Editorial Review:

The chocolate chip cookie is, without a doubt, North America's favorite cookie. Nothing beats a steaming, chewy cookie fresh from the oven, its chocolate still gooey and smooth -- perfection! But everyone has a different idea of what makes a perfect chocolate chip cookie, and the variations in this book provide something for everyone. From healthy to loaded with extras, the recipes are all fun and delicious. Try Kahlua Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies, Macadamia Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies, Melt-in-Your-Mouth Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies, Grandma Matthews' Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies, Kentucky Derby Chip Delights, and Apple-Kissed Chocolate Chip Cookies.

There are recipes for fancy cookies, such as Almond Spritz, and for treats like Apricot-Coconut Confections, which are so simple even the kids can help.

More than a collection of recipes, The Christmas Cookie Book is also a practical guide to the basics of cookie baking, equipment, and techniques. A special section called "Cookies to Go" is devoted to gift-giving, with charming ideas for packing and wrapping your cookies. A veritable feast of terrific recipes, gift ideas, and cookie-lore, The Christmas Cookie Book is sure to please cookie lovers of all ages.

Uninspirational. 1 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

The information contained in this book does not justify the price. With all due respect to the author, these cookie ideas are better suited in pamphlet form given at craft or cake decorating stores. I'm sure the author is qualified. However, with all the competition in the market, I'm afraid this book falls short.

I highly recommend Collette Peters Christmas book which contains breathtaking works of art in both the form of cakes and cookies that the average person can make. If your focus is cookies, Toba Garrett's "Creative Cookies" is the ultimate cookie treasure book!

Unsatisfied 2 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I was expecting more than the simple decorating ideas this book has offered but I found nothing new in the author's ideas. I am totally disappointed! This book is also overpriced! May be the pictures and the paper made up for the price but the content are not as inspirational as I expected. I gave it a 2 stars because I appreciate the author's confidence in publishing a mediocre decorating book.

Mediocre 2 out of 5 stars.

After reading "Creative Cookies" by Toba Garrett, this book was nothing spectacular. I even paid more for this book. Sorry!
