Not all the recipes are winners, but for the most part they're yummy. The book changed the way I look at cookie-baking - Mrs. Fields bakes her cookies at a low temperature for longer (17 minutes at 300 degrees, rather than 9 minutes at 350 or 375), which makes them softer, and harder to burn. Love it!
Great recipes, and a really nice, egg-free chocolate chip cookie recipe to make with kids. The only thing I found when I first started using this book, was that I did not have all of the ingredients readily on hand for some of the more advanced cookies. Now that I've stocked up, I can make just about any when the urge hits me. :)
This is the best cookie cookbook that I have every come across. I love to bake cookies and every recipe that I have tried from this book has been amazing. My family loves when I pull it out and try another one. I have tried about 7 recipes so far. I also buy this book for friends and family because it is so awesome.
I have only made 1 of the cookie recipes, the lacy oatmeal cookies. My son loves them. if you make them , please invest in an silcon cookie pad, that goes on top of a cookie sheet. or you will have a disaster .
I used these cookie recipes when I was young and my interest in baking was just beginning. My Mom recently gave me the book. Includes a to-die-for chocolate chip cookie recipe. Makes me feel 12 years old again.
