This is the comprehensive-yet-charming cookbook every cookie lover (or those who love to bake cookies) needs. There are times when a store-bought or bakery cookie is fine, but homemade cookies are the right choice for lazy summer afternoons, unexpected snow days or that holiday party that just wouldn't be the same without these beauties on the cookie tray. These recipes in the book are reliable enough that you can use them as a base for a little experimentation-try different kinds of chips and nuts for easy flavor twists. You'll find more creative ideas in 23 cookies recipes collection.
