Best cookie book I have ever purchased

Three of the four cookie recipes I have tried from this book do not turn out. There are mistakes in this book (failure to mention usage of eggs in recipe though they are listed in ingredients).

The Maple Pecan cookies are awesome though.

I am throwing out this book so no one will make the same mistake.

Love the book and the way it's been set up. The format however... very unpractical, it's too small to lay flat. (Although the size makes it very easy to take with you while travelling hehe)
