Summary: My FAVORITE cookie cookbook
Comment: As a cookbook collector, and an avid baker, I can tell you that this book is worth it's weight in gold. Each and every recipe I've tried, in all the years I've had it (I have the original book), has never produced even one failure. The CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES are by far the best recipe I've ever found. The recipes are very easy to follow, and there are many unique cookies in this book.
To the reviewer who "wasn't impressed", perhaps your oven's temperature needs to be checked.

Summary: favorite cookies
Comment: I absolutely love the recipes in this book (I have the original edition). To get the truly chewy effect on some of them, you really have to follow the recipe on the size. It seems odd to use so much dough for one cookie, but they really turn out better that way (instead of 3/4 or 1 inch balls, the recipes generally use 1.5 inches). I highly recommend the snickerdoodles recipe. I've tried many of the other recipes as well over the years and enjoyed them all. I'm looking forward to trying the recipes in the new edition.

Summary: not impressed
Comment: I tried 2 recipes from this book and was sufficiently disappointed that I will probably not use this book again. The "Four-Spice Fantasies" were completely bland and puffy/cakey in texture rather than chewy, while the "Oatmeal Cinnamon" cookies, though better than the former, were nothing to write home about. People should let me know if any of her other ones are worth trying. Otherwise I now only go to allrecipes.com for user-rated recipes.
