The Cookiepedia : Mixing, Baking, and Reinventing the Classics by Stacy Adimando is absolutely a must have cookie book.
The author sets out to create and recreate classic cookies, and has 50 recipes total and probably has your favorite. My favorite are Snickerdoodles and they are in the section with spicy cookies.

This is a great little cookie cookbook full of classic recipes, updated and tweaked and with suggestions for variations. It is well-designed--lays flat when using, colorful pictures and drawings, tips and space for cook's notes on each recipe. I made the Blondies with Browned Butter for review and loved them--so much that I had to get them out of the house. I took them to some friend and co-workers and they were promptly devoured. here's the link to my full review, recipe and pictures:

Simple recipes.
Easy to mix things up with the numerous tips given throughout the book.
Love the spiral bound.
I can't wait to actually cook some of them! :D
I won a copy on Twitter from the publisher.

Loved the binding on this book. It is perfect for baking. The receipes are easy and delicious. If you are looking for a great starter cookie book for a young or new baker, you should consider this book.
Sort of redefines the meaning of "cookie" but I'm going to try some of these!
looks so good, i want to make them all :)
Cool binding & presentation.
Great recipes that my family enjoyed.

(Review copy from publisher.)
The design of this cookie recipe book is pleasing, the illustrations and pictures are attractive, and the book lies flat for ease of use. The ingredients are mostly readily available and the instructions are easy to follow. However, none of the content made me view this book as a cookie encyclopedia, which is implied in the title, nor did I see very much "reinventing" of classic recipes.
