I love how this book is broken down by types of cookies and how the cookies have pictures and written discriptions about almost every cookie in the book. While I love to bake, cookies are generally not among my favorites, but these recipes either sound so quick and easy or the cookies so yummy that I can't wait to start my way through the book!
I love the layout and organization of this book. ALL cookies have a corresponding picture. It is always nice to see what the end result should look like. The cookies are organized by type and are listed with pictures at the beginning.
For people that love Martha Stewart or collect cookbooks, this is a great book to add to your collection.
I, personally, am not a big fan of Martha Stewart, but after looking through a copy that my Mom had and trying out a couple of the recipes, it was a cookbook that I just had to add to my collection.
Martha's books are always good. They're descriptive, very user friendly and the photography is top notch. I bought this book because I rented a DVD about Martha's cookies and wanted the recipes without having to go to the website and track them all down. They were (mostly) all here in this book. My only complaint is that using the book as an actual cookbook is tricky because it won't lay flat and must be "propped open" in some way to keep track of where you are. For that reason alone, I rated it good and not excellent. Overall, a very nice, useful, attractive book.
Had seen it advertised on her show and thought it would be a good addition to my cook books. Very pleased with the book and the ebay price was better than in the major book stores.
I love Martha Stewart! I heard her talk about this book everyday on her show. I have several of her other cookbooks but I love baking so I knew this book would come in handy. She has great photos of every cookie which helps me when I bake. I am so glad I bought it and I will use it the rest of my life.
I love this book. Most of the cookie recipes are great and easy to make. I love Martha Stewart so of course I love anything she puts in a cookbook. I think anyone would find it an asset to add this book to their collection.
Martha Stewart's Cookies has some great recipes in it and is a must have for any cookie lover. I was very excited that I found it on eBay right after I saw it on TV and decided to try it.
Great book - my wife loves it. Book has illustrations for each recipe and a thumbnail view in the table of contents which is handy. I would highly recommend as a gift for all cookie lovers - who isn't??!!
I love Martha Stewart and her cooks books are easy to follow and the pictures are outstanding. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes to bake or love Marth Stewart as I do
I love Martha, and I can't get enough of her recipes. This cookie book is full of beautiful pictures and delicious recipes. I love having such a variety of recipes at my fingertips!
This book is full of great cookie and brownie recipes! Some are only good for decoration rather than eating, but most the recipes from this book that I have tried come out very tasty! There are certainly better cookie books out there for the price you'll pay for this one, but it is a pretty good addition to a cook book lovers collection.
This book if filled with recipies for cookies that you would bake for everyday after school treats or to serve with tea with the queen to a black tie formal event.
I LOVE this cookbook! One, it's Martha Stewart- how could you go wrong? Two, all of the cookies look fabulous, and each one comes with a full color picture, so you know how the cookie is supposed to turn out. Miracles of miracles- if you follow the reciepe, thay turn out just as pictured. And they taste even better. The only thing I would change about the book, is to have it in hardcover- but I guess this way if it gets a little messy, who cares? There is a cookie for every occassion and you could try out a new cookie reciepe each week and still not have baked your way through this cookbook at the end of a year. Happy baking!
We haven't had the book for very long and have already made several great tasting cookies. One thing that I like about the book is that every cookie is illustrated so that you have an idea of what you are going to bake. Also, the index is very clever in that the cookies are arranged by type and there is a photo of each there. This is an excellent book.
I find it difficult to focus on the product when the transaction with the seller was so difficult. I felt that the wait time for the product was too long and the lack of communication with the sellerwas nil. This is not a seller I would deal with again.
Especially like the divisions of chapters of cookies - soft and chewy, thin and crispy, etc. Pictures are a nice addition to see how the end result should look.
This cookie is the most comprehensive cookie collection ever! The way it is separated by consistancy is the way I will be able to decie faster which speeds up the time for making my cookies. I had collected several of these cookies from her TV show and website, but now all of those plus many more are all in one book. It is beautiful, Martha, as usual for you. Thank you so much for your wonderful TV show that I watch everyday, appointments permitting. Elaine
Martha Stewart is a perfectionist, as we all know, so why wouldn't the cookies she bakes be perfect also? I had this book on pre-order and absolutely love it!
Whether you bake cookies for your family, a party or even a picnic, they never fail to please....well,if they are Martha's Cookies they never fail! The editors of Martha Stewart Living has put 175 recipes with variations that cover everything from plain to fancy...including the traditional cookies we all grew up with and special cookies to enjoy as an adult! I have always loved the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Raisin and now I can try her Rum Raisin Shortbread, Lime Meltaways, Cherry Tuiles and Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti among so many others. The book is organized by texture of cookies....clever! Most important....every recipe has a photo that is good enough to cut out and eat. Lots of tips and techniques for baking and storing and as always, Martha shows you how to show-case those cookies after they are baked if you want to give them as gifts.
