Review Quotes

The Good Housekeeping kitchen team offers up their aptly named collection of sublime cookie recipes, featuring "fresh-from-the-oven" favorites oozing with ingenuity and flavor. Organized by method--from drop and "slice and bake" to bars and brownies and beyond--there are treats for every occasion and palate, explained in thorough but not overwhelming detail.... This is sure to raise the bar for bake sales, cookie swaps, and holiday baking.
