Celebrating rich, buttery, over-the-top treats, award-winning baker and author Judy Rosenberg shares 150 inspired but easy-to-make cookie recipes that never stint on the good stuff. Think chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, mounds of jam and heaps of nuts, the butter crunch of real shortbread and the tender chew of a gooey bar.
Cookies and milk will never taste the same again. Among the old favorites and new classics: Noah's Chocolate Chocolatey Chocolate Chips, Hazelnut Crisps, Banana-Nut Chocolate Chunks, Almond Biscotti (low-fat, but don't tell anyone), Coconut Dainties, Pucker-Your-Lips Apricot Linzer Bars, and adorable little custard-filled Boston Cream Pies.
76,000 copies in print.

Summary: Amazing consistency
Comment: Usually if you read through a whole cookbook and find a couple of winners, you consider yourself ahead. Here, recipe after recipe is both practical (readily available ingredients, standard kitchenware, basic techniques) and delicious. My favorites are the chocolate-dipped coconut drops, the snickerdoodles and the brownie recipe, but there's nary a recipe in there that I'd be reluctant to make, eat or serve.
My one gripe is that the binding does not lay flat at all. It would be annoying in a novel, but is completely inappropriate for a cookbook.

Summary: a family tradition
Comment: I had to purchase Rosie's cookbook for my daughter who turned 21--now everyone in my family has one--It is one of the best cookbooks I have ever bought! I still use my copy all the time
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great cookies!
Comment: I haven't made a recipe from this book yet that wasn't extremely tasty. I go to it first for recipes when I feel like baking cookies. I also like that Rosie only uses butter in her recipes - no trans fat to worry about. I suspect the precision of her measurements is overkill, but I can't complain about the results!

Summary: Drooling, as I read
Comment: This is one of those satisfying recipe books that includes the reader in. The dialogue is chatty and warm and the recipes all sound delicious. Just as her original Baking Book is. A winner !
Customer Rating:
Summary: Quantity over quality . . .
Comment: I'll give her credit, Rosie has a large selection of recipes to choose from, but the basic layout of this cookbook is not ideal, and her measurements are a bit freaky. You'll see 1 cup + 6 tablespoons of flour(isn't that a third of a cup?) Or 12 tablespoons of butter, or 6 tablespoons of milk . . . Again, couldn't that be converted to something more mainstream, like liquid ounces? And the recipes are frequently not all on one page, so you get to flip back and forth from the ingredients to the directions. Her writing is very chatty and comforting, but the recipies I've tried (and there have been several) have only been OK - not memorable.
