The full color photographs of the finished cookies are very helpful. Each recipe includes "smart cookie" tips and information about how to store the cookies and how long each type of cookie keeps. The book is divided into 6 types of cookies: Tree & Mantelpiece Cookies, Cookies to Make for and/or with Kids, Cookies for Giving, Cookies for Sending, Cookies for an Open House, and Cookies for Holiday Dinner Parties. Includes classic recipes such as Christmas Wreaths made from corn flakes. The back of the book includes a template for a gingerbread cathedral as well as information on weights and measures, equivalencies and subsititutions, ingredients, equipment, and an index. A true classic! (  ) aya.herron | Aug 8, 2009 |  I use this one every Christmas too. One strong point for me is that Rose explains how to store each variety and tells whether or not I can mail them. Plus the cookie recipes are classics! ( ) dianaleez | Feb 11, 2009 | I love this cookie book. It offers smart tips on each cookie as well a picture of the cookie. There are a variety of specialty cookies for the holidays. (  ) jbergst1 | Jun 11, 2008 | Are you kidding me? I still make money off recipes in this book. I know a lot of people are put off by the intense amount of information she provides with each recipe. A question for those who feel that way: is it because you hate perfect food? Is that why? Really? ( ) mcglothlen | Apr 25, 2007 | The best cookie cookbook in my collection! Gorgeous pics and easy to follow recipes. From simple to complex and elegant, these are some of the best ones. I use this book year after year! ( ) sarahcita | Oct 16, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
The recipes are arranged in chapters devoted to tree and mantelpiece cookies; cookies to make for and/or with kids; cookies for sending, for open house, and holiday dinner parties, among others. Included are recipes for classics such as Scottish Shortbread, Chocolate-Dipped Melting Moments, Mexican Wedding Cakes, Spritz Butter Cookies, Springerle, and Pfeffernüsse. Also offered are Beranbaum's own creations, such as Maple Walnut Sablé Sandwiches, and those of her friends, like Lora Brody's Christmas Phantoms and Mrs. King's Irresistibles. Where applicable, recipes offer optional mixing methods for food processor or electric mixer (or by hand). Beranbaum's "Smart Cookie" accompanies each recipe and provides hints on ingredients and techniques. Decoration, storage, and cookie-sending information abounds. Concluding with a color-photo-illustrated glossary of ingredients and equipment, the book is encyclopedic on its subject and virtually guarantees Christmas (or any time) cookie-making success. --Arthur Boehm
