Book Reviews of Betty Crocker Cookie Book
Book Review: A great basic cookie book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great basic cookie book filled with more than 200 recipes for all kinds of cookies, from the tried and true classics (chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, molasses) to more trendy treats (tiramisu cheesecake bars, amaretto brownies, orange almond biscotti, cappuccino pistachio biscotti).
The Betty Crocker Cookie book begins with lots of helpful information on the "doughs" and "doughn'ts" of cookie baking, which is important for those new to cookie baking. Detailed explanations for how to measure ingredients, the effects of different fats on cookie texture, melting chocolate, common baking equivalents and substitutions, and the effects different kinds of equipment, such as cookie sheets can have on your cookies. There are also helpful tips and hints for rolling dough evenly, lining baking pans, cooling, storing, and freezing cookies.
There are chapters devoted to:
Easy Drop Cookies
Bars and Brownies
Cookies for Kids
Cookies Made from a Mix
Hand Shaped and Pressed Cookies
Rolled Cut Out Cookies
Fancy Cookies for Celebrations
Cookies for Special Diets
Pictures for many of the cookies are scattered throughout the book. Most pages include additional tips and hints for cookie baking success in the sidebar.
If you are an experienced cookie baker, you may find this cookbook too basic. If you prefer to bake only from scratch this may not be the best book for you either, since there is a whole chapter devoted to using mixes. This is also not the Betty Crocker Cookie Book from 1963. It has been updated significantly to reflect current baking trends.
If you are new to cookie baking and/or prefer easy home style cookies that don't take all day or a require a culinary degree, this is definitely a book you'll want for your collection. I've made more than a dozen recipes from this book that have all turned out well and have many more pages with recipes I want to try tagged.
