Summary: Five Stars Just on Diversity and Variety of Recipes!
Comment: Colorful and diverse. This book was published in New York, but feels British to me. There are really great explanatory steps and photographs showing techniques along with a finished photo of how every cookie, scone and brownie appears when done. It's a big book as well, I mean tall. There are also muffin recipes, and savory baked goods recipes. Let me give you a brief sampling of some of the diverse recipes: Coconut Oatmeal Cookies, Buttermilk Cookies, Snickerdoodles, Churros, Chocolate Marzipan Cookies,Morvarian Tarts, Lace Cookies, Amaretti,Bacon Twists,Cheddar and Chive Biscuits, Popovers,Sticky Date and Apple Squares, and on and on. There are over 200 illustrated recipes.
This would be a great gift for someone who is starting to bake or for anyone who likes baking cookies and enjoys the unusual recipe.

Summary: Not sure if it's me or the book...
Comment: Every recipe I have tried from The Great Big Cookie Book has been an utter failure. It's not obvious if I did something wrong, or if they are just bad recipes. I made snickerdoodles, and they came out like little scones. My mom pointed out later that their recipe is missing a key snickerdoodle ingredient - cream of tartar. In fact, all of the cookies I have tried from this book have the consistency of cake rather than what I consider cookie texture. And they are very bland - whatever you do don't make the peanut butter cookies if you are craving a sweet treat! I have had much better results with other baking books, so keep searching!

Summary: THE GREAT BIG COOKIE BOOK
Comment: I JUST LOVE THIS BOOK. THE ILLISTRANTIONS ARE GOOD FOR A BEGINNER AS I AM. I HAVE TRIED THE CHEESE CAKE AND IT TURNED OUT PERFECT. I AM HAVING A BABY SHOWER AND WANTED TO MAKE THE CHEDDER PENNIES SO I TRIED THE RECIPE AND IT WAS HORRIBLE. THE CHEESE AND BUTTER MELTED AND THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT AFTER 8 MINUTES IN THE OVEN. I AM GLAD I TRIED THE RECIPE PRIOR TO THE SHOWER.
