"An encyclopedia of cookies. Oh yes. Buttery, chocolaty, fancy, fruity, spicy and nutty cookies fill the pages of this super cute book. It lays flat, too. Love that."-Bakerella"A spiral-bound cookbook bursting with more than 50 inspired cookie recipes, it's set apart by fun extras: funky drawings, tips and tricks, copious room for recipe notes, and more."-Grandparents.com
"All cookie lovers will enjoy preparing and improvising on classic cookies with this scrumptious cookbook."-Library Journal
"For a decidedly fun, down-to-earth approach to baking, this one certainly looks the part: a notebook with a kraft paper cover, wire-bound pages, and simple line illustrations. But there's more to this than looks. While Adimando arms you with the basics, there's the intention and hope that you'll be inspired to create your own."-Epicurious
