Having bought this book as a present for my daughter , I have had the pleasure of sampling the results. I can honestly say that the soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the nicest I have every had. The photographs are superb and the recipes very easy to follow. Go on treat yourself!

Good basic recipes and some unusual ones too. It can be quite a pain using 'cups' to measure everything though. Lots of American terms used (Canola Oil is Rapeseed Oil) but once you get your head around that, there are some amazing cookies in this book (Oatmeal & Raisin are the best you'll taste) and some lovely ideas for how to present them as gifts.

Like all the Martha Stewart Books I own this is a great one. It has so many unusual recipes with the most beautiful pictures, the only downside is deciding which to make first!
As a warning, each recipe makes LOADS of cookies so it might be worth halving the recipe so you don't end up using all your butter and eggs, or eating the whole lot in one sitting!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially if you need ideas for edible gifts, there's something for everyone and these are not your average cookies :-)
