Summary: Over a hundred recipes pair with bright color photos
Comment: Over a hundred recipes pair with bright color photos to provide only the best results from the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen - but this book doesn't stop with recipes alone, as most do: it offers up over fifty ideas for packaging cookies to give as gifts, and includes complete patterns for four gingerbread houses.

Summary: Pictures are great, but recipes not as easy as they appear
Comment: I was really excited to add some new christmas cookie recipes when I bought this book. My husband and I narrowed our choices down to four of the recipes in this book.
So far, the two that we made have not gone well.
For the Orange Snowballs, they tell you to roll the cookies in the orange sugar mixture AFTER you bake them. Well, the sugar doesn't stick. We ended up having to baste them in a little butter to get the sugar to stick. They look ugly now. PLUS, the recipe says that they make 48 balls. I made my snowballs the exact size they specified, and only got 29!
Then, we made the pinwheel snickerdoodles. The cookie dough is not made for rolling, no matter how long you chill it!
So far, I wouldn't recommend this book. The pretty pictures of the cookies are very decieving.

Summary: Christmas Cookies (Better Homes & Gardens)-paperback
Comment: I was pleasantly surprised by the number of good and different
recipes in this book. I was interested in adding some new cookies to my Christmas baking. Actually I thought I had most likely seen about all the recipes on cookies, but thought I'd check this book out. Am so glad I did! I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in purchasing this book.

Summary: Good book
Comment: Great recipes, good pictures. Fun to make, but time consuming. A few need special equipment that is hard to find, but over all a great book for christmas cookies.
