User Reviews about Betty Crocker's Cooky Book

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. -- This book created a monster...a cookie monster!

I received this as a wedding gift 3 years ago and LOVE it. It's the same "cooky" book my mom had me look through to pick out recipes to make together, only this one doesn't have pages falling out... yet. Many of the recipes are dates and sometimes ingredients aren't as available as they were in the 1960's, but it adds to the fun. It's a great resource and while there are some recipes I would never make it's nice to know I'm making them the same way now as I did with my mom many years ago. :) -- mom's cooky book!

I haven't baked any of the recipes yet, but I do love to read the whimisical comments scattered throughout. I plan to make several recipes...just need to find the time. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique cookie recipe. -- Classic cooky recipes!

This is a wonderful cookbook of classic cookie recipes and it includes many photos. The cookies are delicious and easy to make. There are recipes from many countries and a section on the best cookies of different decades. Three generations of our family have enjoyed the original edition and we are thrilled to be able to buy copies of the new edition for our grown children. -- Great classic cookies

I have had this cookbook for many years and mine looks very worn. I like to buy this for young brides as they begin their marriage as a cookbook easy to use and loaded with favorite cookie recipes. Highly recommend this cookbook. -- Betty Crocker Cooky Book
