Martha Stewart's Cookies: The Very Best Treats to Bake and to Share: A Baking Book

Great book, the cookies on the cover are the best. There is a photo for most cookies. I love to see them, not just read the recipe.

Martha Stewart’s clean look - detailed processes and recipes - lovely pictures! It’s a must have to add to your own baking cookbook collection!

I have bought 4 copies of this book to give to friends because I love it. It is the perfect gift for anyone who likes to bake. I have been baking one new cookie every week with my son and daughter since we got this book in the summer. What I love is that there are all types of recipes, simple ones and more complex, with a wide variety of flavors. The book is divided by cookie categories: Light and Delicate, Soft and Chewy, Crumbly and Sandy, Chunky and Nutty, Cakey and Tender, Crisp and Crunchy and Rich and Dense. Each category is accompanied with beautiful photos of the cookies, which are all shown in the table of contents. The book has beautiful layout (as always for martha books) and easy to follow recipes. Enjoy!

I am not a huge fan of Martha Stewart but when I wanted a cookbook on cookies, I purchased this based on the many positive recipes. I was prepared to just like the book but I love it. I love how the recipes are organized as light and delicate, soft and chewy, crispy and crunchy etc. The list of recipes in the first few pages is really neat, including not just the name of the cookie and page number but also a small photograph of the cookie. There are enough recipes, about 175 of them, to suit every taste with beautiful photographs that entice you to try them. This book was put to good use over the holidays when I purchased it. I have tried well over 25 recipes since I purchased the book last month even modifying some of them. Turned out great each time. Nice tips at the end with a very typical Martha type write up on how to package cookie as gifts. Very neat!

I checked this book out at my local library and made a few cookies before ordering it. (I have too many cookbooks as it is). The recipes and photos are divine! The only complaint I have about this book is that I wish the publisher had included measurements by weight. Most home cooks use volume to measure out ingredients, but those of us who use weight have a hard and tedious time going back to volume. That being said, I want to tell you that the most delicious Palmiers and Chocolate Crackle cookies I have ever eaten, came out of this book. During Christmas I bake LOTS of cookies to give away, and this year I received many compliments on the cookies from this book. So next year I will use some of the same recipes plus a few new ones. Besides the great photos and recipes, the Table of Contents is a pictorial of the 175 cookie recipes. All the cookies are right there, in front of you to choose from without having to peruse the entire book to choose what you are going to bake. This to me is a great time saver. The cookies are divided into the following sections: Light and Delicate Soft and Chewy Crumbly and Sandy Chunky and Nutty Cakey and Tender Crisp and Crunchy Rich and Dense Tools and Techniques Packaging and Giving Sources This is a great book to own, but be careful.....those cookies have a way of jumping out of the page, make you bake them, and then insist on following you everywhere by sitting on your hips, thighs, belly, etc. If you are not a cookie monster now, you will be one if you have this book.

Martha is always on point when it comes to baking. This isn’t just a recipe book, it actually teaches you technique and how to make good cookies. This book includes the classics (as Martha always includes unlike some other books). I’ve looked at other books and the organization is too confusing and it assumes that I already know everything about cookies. There’s also ideas on how to gift wrap cookies in the back of this book too. I got this cookie book because I have Martha’s pie book and it makes wonderful pies. Up next on my radar is her cake book. One thing at a time though Edit: so I made the chocolate chip cookies first. They’re AMAZING! They are soft the next day. I’ve always wanted to make good chocolate chip cookies and online recipes have always been a disaster. This recipe rocks!

Love my Martha Stewart cookbook lots of cookies!

This has some exotic recipes for making treats. Have tried one so far and only got an ok for that experiment. Need to "leave the raisins out" was the advice. I will write this on that page. Also, was looking for some of the recipes from Martha Stewart's Magazine but did not find those. :-( A molasses cookie with oatmeal. Adding to this review in 2024 there are some yummy cookie recipes in this book. It is a paper cover book and mine is coming apart. This is the best of Martha Stewart's cookie books. Chocolate ginger bread and white chocolate with gold raisins are both yummy make double batches. Now I am getting asked to make the cookies with all the fruit and nuts in them or anything with gold raisins. Who knew back in "You purchased this edition on April 1, 2017. "

Maravilhoso! Super completo, lindo e bem explicativo

Wirklich sehr tolles Backbuch für Kekse und sonstige süße Backwaren! Ich war schon lange auf der Suche nach einem Backbuch in dem man außergewöhnliche Rezepte findet, in den Standard-Backbüchern findet man niemals so viel Auswahl wie bei Martha Stewart! Nachdem ich das Buch durchgeblättert habe, wollte ich sofort loslegen! Es gibt sehr viele verschiedene Rezepte, eingeteilt in die unterschiedlichsten Kategorien. Von normalen Chocolate-Chip-Cookies bis hin zu verschiedenen Brownies-Rezepten, Sandwichcookies, Schokolade-Makronen und noch viele andere Rezepte findet man im Buch. Alle Kekse die ich bisher aus dem Buch nachgebacken habe, sind suuuper geworden! Das Buch ist schön gestaltet, die Rezepte sind gut und einfach erklärt und man will sofort alle tollen Cookies nachbacken! Was ich persönlich noch super finde, sind die letzten paar Seiten im Buch, in denen Backtechniken und andere wissenswerte Dinge erklärt werden. Für knapp 16 Euro bekommt man hier einen wahren Küchenschatz!

Finally a cookie book which is set out how you want to find cookies - soft, gooey. crunchy. Recipees are really easy and havent had a problem yet. Pictures for every recipe as well!

A BIG fan of her, and i loooooove her recipes

I have tried one recipe of this book, but I have others of this series and are real good too. Not disappointed at all. The only thing it's that almost all the ingredients are in cups and spoons, great for beginners, but I prefer to weight the ingredients to get better results. It has a variety of recipes too.
