Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An avid baker from Vienna, VA.
Review: I was given this book as a young pre-teen from my grandmother who knew I loved to bake. Now, as a 42 year-old mother of two young boys, I am sharing the resumes and fun of baking with my children. Though the pages has become a little tattered, our favorite cookie recipes are right in this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Walk down memory lane!
Review: I was so excited to see that this book has been reprinted! My brothers and I used to hover over this book, salivating over the bright photos of cookies and planning what to make next. I have searched for a comperable book all my adult life and not found one that matched the excellent recipies and brilliant photos in this book. We became avid cookie bakers at a relatively young age; each of us with our favorite and specialty. Definetly something that the whole family can share!

Such a classic! I recently gave it to my brother for his 40th birthday, so he wouldnt forget the skills we had as kids. ENJOY!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of times
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Cooky Book Ever
Review: I've been trying to find this one for my grown-up kids for 30 years! We always baked many, many recipes from this book every Christmas season. The newer cooky books by Betty Crocker just didn't "add up", so now I can send each daughter one of the originals so they can enjoy for my grand kids. THANKS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An old favorite coming back!
Review: I've had a copy of the original Betty Crocker's Cooky Book, 3rd printing since 1966. I use it almost exclusively when baking cookies - it has all the favorites we grew up with! Pictures of each cookie are included and all recipes are fast and easy. An exact copy (same printing) went for big $$ on e-Bay. I wouldn't trade mine for anything. I highly recommend this cookbook to all cookie lovers, especially now when it's back in print and you can get your own new "original."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Packed with hundreds of recipes
Review: If it's that old-fashioned Betty rocker touch you seek in a cookbook, look no further than the gorgeous reprint of her Cooky Book complete with its bright red cookie-filled cover from the 1963 edition and lay-flat handy binding for the cook. This authentic facsimilie is packed with hundreds of recipes paired with color photos and comments. An inviting, basics guide.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ultimate Cookie Collection
Review: In my opinion, this is by far the most complete cookie collection. These are the classic homemade cookies. The recipes are very basic and easy to follow. The maple cookies with maple icing are dreamy! Have had excellent success with all of the recipes I have tried.

The book also contains many color photographs. It is also nice that the cookbook is spiral bound - very handy when baking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only Cookie Book You Should Own!
Review: My Grandmother had this cooky cookbook when I was growing up and I have eagerly anticipated a reproduction of this cookbook. I cannot tell you how estatic I was to find it! This book has EVERY recipe you could hope. I'm glad this is a reproduction and not a "updated" version of this classic cooky cookbook. What makes this book absolutely charming is the whimsical pictures and drawings throughout the recipes, reminding us of a wonderful era. Thank you to the publishers for choosing to reproduce this book!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only One You'll Need
Review: My mom gave me her copy of Betty Crocker's Cooky Book when I got married. The book is literally falling apart -- the back cover is no longer attached, but still sits in the bookshelf next to the rest of the book.

This would make a wonderful gift for anyone who likes to bake. It's full of great recipes, some of which I've made so many times that I know them by heart.

If you like to bake cookies, buy this book. You won't be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love this cook book!
Review: My mom has an original copy of this, and I inherited my grandmother's copy when she died. You can tell how good it is by the condition of the books- both are covered in flour and have lost their covers. All our favorite Christmas cookies are from this book. And now that they have reprinted it, I know what Mom and I will be getting each other for Christmas!
