Big Fat Cookies

Summary: Fun and easy cookie recipies
Review: Elinor Kivans's new cookie book is filled with new ideas and variations on old favorites. Check out the Celebration Sugar Cookies on page 76 -- the snowman decorations are wonderfully fanciful. The book has crisp graphics and great photos, which are always a motivation to try something new. I also like how easy the recipies are. The recipies don't require any fancy equipment or a lot of time. This book is great for both the novice and experienced baker.

Summary: Loved this book
Review: Elinor Klivans has once again created a cookbook that is practical and beautiful. "Big Fat Cookies" is full of impress-your-friends cookies that are easy to make. We made Chocolate Chip-Stuffed Cookies and Fudge-Filled Chocolate-Chip Cookie Sandwiches (pictured on the cover) for my toddler's recent birthday party and were besieged with compliments and requests for recipes from the parents of very happy two year olds. Once you master making these oversized cookies (and Klivans makes it easy for a non-baker like me to do so), you'll never go back to little ones.

Summary: very dissapointed
Review: I bought this book by the title, expecting a great book that would thrill my grandchildren with "big, fat cookies"....... what I got was the same old same old. I wouldn't even give this as a gift.

Summary: Best Cookie Book EVER!!!!
Review: I have been baking from this book since the day I received it as a gift. I then gave it to everyone on my list this holiday season. The ginger cookies alone are worth the price. Plus, the pictures are great!

Summary: Each of the recipes is quite simple and whips up in a flash
Review: What could be more appealing than thick, soft cookies - especially when paired with color photos throughout by Antonis Achilleos in Elinor Klivans' Big Fat Cookies? Positively packed with mouth-watering inventions and innovations, Big Fat Cookies focuses on soft cookies with plenty of appeal, from Super-Sized Ginger Chewies to the two-color glazed Big City Black and Whites. Another bonus: each of the recipes is quite simple and whips up in a flash.

Review: What fun these cookies are to make as well as eat! Most are easy to put together and hard to give away. Like Klivans' other books, there is a lot of extra helpful information about equipment and ingredients. A must for every cook, new or experienced!
