Book Reviews of Betty Crocker's Cooky BookBook Review: Phenomenal! Summary: 5 Stars
I am an amateur cookie baker and was hesitant to even attempt turning on the oven. These old style recipes and short directions put my mind at ease and have been unable to STOP baking these cookies!! The chocolate chip cookies are absolutely to die for!!! There's a lot of information in this book-- so it ranges from a beginner (very easy directions) to professional (ways to adapt the recipe, etc.) I showed my mother this book and she was blown away. It's setup just like it would have been in the 60's. Just overall a really wonderful cookie book. You won't be disappointed!!
Book Review: Childhood holidays Summary: 5 Stars
This cookie cook book represents all the happy holiday memories of my childhood. You always knew Christmas was coming when my mother took this book out and we would all get to decide how many varieties of cookies we would all bake together. There was a receipe for a rainy day cookie or a good/bad day at school cookie. With the birth of my first child my mother gave me this book and I have continued the same traditions. I purchased this book for my daughter who just set up her first household and she was thrilled to have her own. I just has great receipes and great memories!
Book Review: A Wedding gift to my Daughter Summary: 5 Stars
As my Daughter gets married I can't think of a better gift than this wounderful book because 30 yrs ago, as a newly wed I moved a fridge in our first apt only to discover this book behind it in the frame. It looks like it has been through the wringer now. I have used it once a week when the kids were little to teach them how to make cookies their favorate (snickerdoodles)mine vermont maple and the little History boxes on the side of the pages are so cool now it is time for my daughter to have one so she can enjoy it as much as I do ...
Book Review: Cookie Heaven Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this book in the 1960's and used it for years to bake cookies for my 7 children- Chocolate Crinkles, Spritz, Chocolate Chip Cookies,Snickerdoodles, brownies and many more favorites. But after 40 years the pages were grease-stained and I hoped to pick up a used copy in better condition. I was so excited to see I could buy a brand-new copy of my favorite cooky cook book. I bought extra copies to give as gifts. The directions are easy to follow and many of the recipes have variations listed as well. Put on your apron and get ready for some fun baking.
Book Review: Memories of my childhood Summary: 5 Stars
I have been making cookies since I was 8, and my mother's 1960's era Betty Crocker cookbook was my bible. This book has all the recipes in her original cookbook, plus more. The Snickerdoodle recipe is the all-time classic - and by far the recipe I get asked for the most. The Oatmeal cookie recipe is by far the best one out there. If you enjoy baking cookies - this is a must-have for your cookbook collection. On a functional note, the book is spiral-bound - which is my preferred method of binding. What I wouldn't give for all reference books to be bound this way!
