Summary: Nostalgic yet still awesome cook book
Review: I grew up with this cook book, making snickerdoodles and candy
cane cookies with my sisters and friends for Christmas. My Mom
still has her original copy, loose pages, notations on favorite
recipes and clippings inserted everywhere. I think we even used
it to help earn our Girl Scout cooking badge! I have always
told my mom if she ever sees it available for sale, get me one!
Mom, my search is done!

Summary: Betty Crocker's Cooky Book
Review: I have the 7th printing of the First Edition of Betty Crocker's Cooky Book. I have been using it for 35 years, and many of the pages have come unglued, but all the recipes are still great, and include many of my favorites. I've been baking cookies for more than fifty years, and this is by far my favorite book of cookie recipes.

Summary: This book has served me well!!
Review: I have the original version of this book and thru almost 28 years of marriage it has served me well! Early on, my copy got wet. The cover is warped and it isn't very pretty, but it's still the one I use time after time. Every kitchen needs a copy of this classic, especially if there are little ones around! There is no better book to use to teach them the basics of cookie baking......and all Moms need to take time to make cookies with their kids!

Summary: The Best Cookie Book Ever!!!
Review: I have used this book for over 35 years. My daughter was so excited to see it back in print, now she can have her own copy rather than borrowing mine. We have a long history of cookies especially at Christmas. We have also run into other people that go crazy when they see this book again, it brings back such wonderful memories. My daughter use to go through the book and pick out what cookies we would make from the pictures of each of them. It is a truly wonderful book and the Cream Wafers, page 40, are fantastic.

Summary: a little update!
Review: I just received my book after ordering it shortly below my last review and I have to say I am not dissappointed. This is the best book out there with so many of the cherished recipes from the past. Lot's of the old German cookie favorites too that I had forgetton and aren't as popular anymore, at least not with their original names. I am impressed with the fact that it appears to be a reprint also and not a repackaged and changed newer book. I love the recipes in their original form, the pictures as I remember them with the old dated wallpaper in them(I did not have this books, but there were similar pics in my mom's '69 red and white BC book):-) The cookies aren't perfect like today's magazines, but they are as they come out which makes you feel better when yours come out the same as the books. Why even the historical recollections in the book were as they would have been in 1963(the history section and favorite cookie only goes up until 1962). It truly is as if time stood still. I like the reprint so much because I know the recipes are untouched and original.
Well, I am off to make a list now of what we will be baking just for Christmas so I can get some supplies. I can't tell you all how giddy I am--Anyone who wishes to relive their past and remembers this book, or the recipes in it, it is money well spent, even if you only plan to flip through it and stroll down memory lane.

Summary: Wonderful Cookies!
Review: I love to make cookies (and eat the dough) but I could never really find any cookbook that gave me a fun recipe. Chocolate chip was the only kind I really knew how to make. Then I was given this book! It is cute, retro, and I probably gained twenty pounds because of all the cookies I ate (that came from this book!).

This book brings back all those wonderful memories! Can't wait to give my daughters the same ones! A must have for all cooks young and old! Also I purchased 6 copies for my daughters and my brothers families so they may use the same recipes and remember. Thanks.

Summary: A Blast from the Past!
Review: I nearly fell over when I spied this book on the shelf at the local bookstore. What a wave of fragrant christmas cookie dough memories! My mother has the original 1963 book. Its pages are marked with baking stains and a green felt tip marker that indicates favorite recipes with "good" and "great". As children, my siblings and i would gather around this book, much like the Sears Christmas Wishbook, and choose the cookies we would help my mother bake that year. We also daydreamed about how this cookie and that bar would taste... and who could forget the sight of that gingerbread house with its gumdrop decorations and gobs of frosting. This year, I am ordering four copies of this book [as gifts from my mother] to us four kids who were swept away each of our childhood years by its spell and the magical aroma of an oven full of holiday treats.
