"Elinor Klivans's Big Fat Cookies opens up a whole universe of giants, including chocolate chip whoppers and king-sized raisin pillows. If you're going to go blow 400 calories on a cookie, do it here." -Boston Globe
Product Description
Bigger is better, right? No one will be able to resist these recipes for giant, cafe-style cookies! Nobody's ever made baking history with a scrawny, cookie. No matter what the occasion, nothing beats the big, fat, homemade kind. With this deliciously fun cookbook and a few simple ingredients, anyone can whip up a quick batch of one of 50 different gigantic crispy, chewy, or fancy-pants sandwich cookies. From classic Super Chocolate Chip to colossal Mocha Mud Mountains, Jumbo Coconut Macaroons to Lemon Whoopie Pies, this is total cookie satisfaction. Introductory material includes tips on buying the best ingredients, techniques such as mixing and forming the perfect round, baking ahead and storing, and - for those who actually like to share their cookies - how to pack them up safely so they won't break on the way to the party. So, get that sweet tooth ready and bite into a Big Fat Cookie.

Great recipes! Bit difficult for UK bakers though,
By Steffi M (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Fat Cookies (Paperback)
I love the recipes in this book - I always make the best cookies from it. Only problem is the measurements are in US units, which can be a pain to convert to metric (if you favour that system). Although I've always managed!
The book also lacks pictures for each recipe. Not a big thing, but it's nice to have a picture for reference sometimes! A must for cookie lovers :)

Disappointing,
By Mumma Flashroy (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Fat Cookies (Paperback)
Bigger is not neccessarily better. Well presented and beautifully, mouthwateringly illustrated, sadly the cookies made from these recipes not only seemed overwhelmingly sweet and sickly to me, but also to my teenagers! I am a seasoned home baker, but these recipes did not live up to their expectations and the resulting cookies did not always turn out as good as they looked in the book(in contrast to those we have tried from Delia or Nigella!).I am giving my copy to the local charity shop.

Big, soft, and delicious.,
By G. Recipient "Emli" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Fat Cookies (Paperback)
What I love about this book is it creates big, soft, and delicious cookies. The sweetness is just right, so that it never feels like you're being overpowered by sweetness. If you bake it right, it turns out quite chewy on the outside and very soft and gooey in the middle. Surprisingly enough, I have baked ALL her recipes, from natural cookies to sandwich cookies to dipped cookies and they were all delicious! I have tried cooking with The All-American Cookie Book and BIG FAT COOKIES book had far less fats and oils and more pure ingredients - butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. The other recipes from different cookbooks were more complicated and seemed to detach from the home-made style of fresh ingredients.
I started out as a beginning cook with absolutely no experience in baking cookies, and a month later using her cookbook, I am able to make awesome cookies that have been a hit between my friends, family, and relatives. This is a great book! 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful:

Lives up to its name!,
By Tina M. Mancuso - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Fat Cookies (Paperback)
Every cookie I've made from this book has been incredibly yummy and gotten rave reviews. I have only two complaints that caused me to give 4 stars rather than 5. First, though the pictures are very good, not every cookie is shown -- and I like to have some idea of what they're supposed to look like, especially with unfamiliar recipes. And second, some of the cookies are supposed to be like sandwiches -- two cookies with a filling between -- and these are not nearly so easy to achieve as the book seems to imply. It's really hard (at least for me!) to get two cookies to be exactly the same size and shape! However, those two small things aside, the recipes are excellent, and the book also has a couple things many cookbooks don't, such as summaries of prep and cooking time at the bottom of each page, and storage instructions for every recipe.

Fun and easy cookie recipies,
By J. Siewers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Fat Cookies (Paperback)
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.
