User Reviews about Betty Crocker's Cooky Book

[[ASIN:0764566377 Betty Crocker's Cooky Book]

This is the best cookie book--ever. Nothing like those processed phoney cookie mixes that all taste
the same. My kids & i had so much fun making cookies from this book in the '60's & i wanted to
hand down the tradition to my granddaughter. i was
thrilled to find it on Amazon.com. We had a blast
making cookies--the hardest part was choosing which
ones to make the first! -- The Best Cookie Book Ever!

I loved this cookbook as a child. Loved looking at all the cookies and helping choose the ones to make for special occasions. Now, as an adult, I find that this old cookbook is in some ways better than newer ones. For traditional, seasonal and old-world inspired cookies and bars, this is a great book to have. Simple to make recipes and comfortingly consistent results, using simple ingredients that never go out of style. Lacking the on-trend low-fat substitutions and fusion creativity of newer recipes, it is classy and transporting to make these classics.

Outstanding book for young and aspiring bakers of all ages and skill levels. -- It was great when I was 8-it's still great 30 years later

I own an original copy of this book. When my daughter found it on your website I ordered one for each of my three daughters for Christmas. They were thrilled. The recipes are a lot of old favorites, easy and fun to make. My children and now my granddaughters have fun making and decorating cut-out Christmas cookies. -- Betty Crocker Cooky Book

I love this cook book. We grew up with all these cookies. My mom has an original Betty Crocker Cooky Book that she still uses. She copied a few of my childhood favorites for me but it's not the same as having your own copy. This has so many great recipes. They are not lowfat or healthy so if that is what you are looking for, keep looking. A few of the recipies call for shorting which I never use, but most seem to be butter recipes. This is a great book for those of us who are nostalgic about Mom's cookies. -- Finally I have my own copy!

Unlike many of the reviewers, I did not grow up with this book, although I did grow up in the 60's. My Mother was a fan of the Red Plaid Better Homes and Gardens Cookbooks. There are some good recipes there, but seriously, the woman did not know what she was missing! I bought this book because I have an interest in old cookbooks, but I was delighted to discover that the recipes were nothing short of fantastic. The snickerdoodles recipe alone is worth the price of the book -- sheer perfection. I've tried quite a few of the recipes, and I've had no failures. None. Even the pumpkin cookies were devoured by my daughter's fellow elementary students. When you add great recipes to pure nostalgia you have a perfect winner. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to bake and eat cookies. Yum! -- Best Cookie Cookbook
