Book Reviews of Betty Crocker's Cooky Book
Book Review: My mom and I fought over this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up with this cookie cookbook, and when I first left home many years ago, my mom and I battled over who would get this book. She finally had the entire book color photo copied for me because she couldn't bear to part with it.
All I can say is, thank god it is back in print for new generations, and for family peace. The cookies are perfection and then some. The photos are terrific.
I now have a new copy, my beloved photo copy, and after I gave my mom a new copy, she finally turned over the original.
This is the definitive cookie cookbook of all time. Never leave home without one. Seriously.
Book Review: Best Cooky Book for mom and kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my first edition of this book in 1968 from a student. It has become a "staple" of our household ever since and my children were raised on making these beloved cookie treats. This Christmas I gave the book to my adult children and step children to carry on the tradition especially our Christmas faves which we still after all these years continue to bake. Never too old to cut out, frost and decorate Christmas cookies. The book has many old favorites, lots of illustrations and easy to follow recipes. The full size pages make it easy for all the kids to gather around and follow the recipe with Mom. It's a part of our family legacy!Book Review: This book created a monster...a cookie monster!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was six years old, I told everyone who would listen that I wanted this book for my birthday. My Nana got it for me with Green Stamps (remember those?). This started a cookie cookbook collection that is embarrassingly large and spans over forty-four years. I still love to get this book out and look at the pictures. I remember making the Tiny Fudge Tarts and Candy Cane Cookies with my mother. My Aunt Mary and I made the Holiday Apricot Balls ( she preferred no-bake cookies). Just recently I made the Banana Jumbos and they were heavenly! This book is a classic and anyone who loves cookies should own it.Book Review: Walk down memory lane!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited to see that this book has been reprinted! My brothers and I used to hover over this book, salivating over the bright photos of cookies and planning what to make next. I have searched for a comperable book all my adult life and not found one that matched the excellent recipies and brilliant photos in this book. We became avid cookie bakers at a relatively young age; each of us with our favorite and specialty. Definetly something that the whole family can share!Such a classic! I recently gave it to my brother for his 40th birthday, so he wouldnt forget the skills we had as kids. ENJOY!
Book Review: Wonderful Cookies!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love to make cookies (and eat the dough) but I could never really find any cookbook that gave me a fun recipe. Chocolate chip was the only kind I really knew how to make. Then I was given this book! It is cute, retro, and I probably gained twenty pounds because of all the cookies I ate (that came from this book!).

This book brings back all those wonderful memories! Can't wait to give my daughters the same ones! A must have for all cooks young and old! Also I purchased 6 copies for my daughters and my brothers families so they may use the same recipes and remember. Thanks.
