PAT'S REVIEW


I am so late with this review and I know that I should have done this around the holidays but I got caught up with life. Now that is not to say that I did not enjoy this book, because I did! What a fantastic book with not only a great selection of cookies to add to anyone’s recipe box. The author gives you a step by step on each cookie, the dough and then a picture of how the finished product should look. Now for most people I hear that the dough is the most trouble and hear the author gives you help and tells you why it could be wrong. I must say for those you can’t call their grandmother or mother for help anymore this is a go-to book. Her molasses spice cookies remind me of my grandmothers’ which I was never able to get her recipe, she does have a little twist on the way I remember but hay close is close. There is also a recipe for gingerbread if you are into that during the holidays. Anyway you get her icing for different types and one for royal icing. You also are given a look at the different tips for a pastry bag and also how to use one. She also gives you packing ideas as well. You can see that this is a totally through book and should be on anyone’s shelf for cookies. An excellent book. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 5 star.
