Maida Heatter's Cookies

by Maida Heatter

DESCRIPTION
Inside 'Maida Heatter's Cookies' --now available for the first time in paperback--the "Queen of Desserts" offers 225 classic cookie recipes for drop cookies, bar cookies, icebox cookies, rolled cookies, hand-formed cookies, dessert crackers, ice creams, sauces, and more, accompanied by two-color, line-drawn illustrated pages. This classic cookie collection is certain to inspire a new generation of bakers with its timeless, flavorful recipes that are as delightful to create as they are to taste and enjoy.

REVIEW
I really like this book. I've done some of the recipes and they all came out great.  I'd just like to say that it's not a book for the novice baker. Doesn't have any pictures of the cookies featured here, nor general instructions on how to bake.  If it's your first time as a cookie baker, then you should buy other books like Betty Crocker or Pillsbury, with basic cookie recipes, great pictures and detailed instructions.
