Book Reviews of Betty Crocker's Cooky BookBook Review: A Wedding gift to my Daughter Summary: 5 Stars
As my Daughter gets married I can't think of a better gift than this wounderful book because 30 yrs ago, as a newly wed I moved a fridge in our first apt only to discover this book behind it in the frame. It looks like it has been through the wringer now. I have used it once a week when the kids were little to teach them how to make cookies their favorate (snickerdoodles)mine vermont maple and the little History boxes on the side of the pages are so cool now it is time for my daughter to have one so she can enjoy it as much as I do ...
Book Review: Cookie Heaven Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this book in the 1960's and used it for years to bake cookies for my 7 children- Chocolate Crinkles, Spritz, Chocolate Chip Cookies,Snickerdoodles, brownies and many more favorites. But after 40 years the pages were grease-stained and I hoped to pick up a used copy in better condition. I was so excited to see I could buy a brand-new copy of my favorite cooky cook book. I bought extra copies to give as gifts. The directions are easy to follow and many of the recipes have variations listed as well. Put on your apron and get ready for some fun baking.
Book Review: Memories of my childhood Summary: 5 Stars
I have been making cookies since I was 8, and my mother's 1960's era Betty Crocker cookbook was my bible. This book has all the recipes in her original cookbook, plus more. The Snickerdoodle recipe is the all-time classic - and by far the recipe I get asked for the most. The Oatmeal cookie recipe is by far the best one out there. If you enjoy baking cookies - this is a must-have for your cookbook collection. On a functional note, the book is spiral-bound - which is my preferred method of binding. What I wouldn't give for all reference books to be bound this way!
Book Review: Favorite Memories Summary: 5 Stars
This book is full of precious memories for me. I can not remember a Christmas or occasion that my mother didn't pull this Cooky book out and flip threw it with me looking for the perfect cookies to bake. I'd spend days in the kitchen with my mother baking the most wonderful smelling and tasting cookies in the world to me. I'm now 33 and still flip threw this book finding cookies to bake for all occasions with my mother and friends. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants easy to make great cookies and great memories with family.
Book Review: The best of times Summary: 5 Stars
I was thrilled to recently receive this book as a gift from my mother. I didn't know it was reprinted! Her original was the cooky book used every Christmas, and she would make so many batches of all these delicious, colorful cookies. Snickerdoodles, thumbprints, Russian tea cakes, creme wafers, and on and on, much to the delight of our family and friends. The book brings back such fond memories of a happy time, and I am thrilled to see that it looks identical to my mom's. Same cover, same pictures, same everything. It's gorgeous.
