Delicious Photos!
"Gorgeous book packed from cover to cover with cookie recipes! The photos are stunning and will make you want to bake every recipe in this book! This book includes recipes for classic cookies, brownie variations and novelty cookies/dessert bars. One of the best features is the Extras section. where you can learn to create some of the baking essentials such as pie dough, pastry cream and caramel. I can't wait to start baking! So many of these recipes I want to try! This would be a fantastic book to give as a gift for a bridal shower or just because."
Great Organization!
"There are some very interesting recipes in this book! The organization looks really good. I love the large, color photo of each different type of cookie. It makes browsing in search of something new much easier. What really stuck out to me was the approximation of how many cookies each batch would make. I'm an empty nester and I don't need to make huge batches of cookies until we get closer to Christmas. So that is a Godsend to me."

I Have to Try!
"I am not the world's best baker, but I do okay. These treats MAKE me want to better my baking skills. I must admit, I came in expecting only to find Cookie recipes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see such a variety of treats to make. I look forward to getting in the kitchen and baking some goodies (in moderation, of course)."
Delicious!
"I basically want to make every single recipe in this book. Traditional standards to new twists on those classics (chocolate sugar cookies! banana poppy seed cookies!) to totally new ideas (raspberry rye cookies! toasted sesame cookies!). Pan-banging cookies! Bars and cookie sandwiches and everything in between. We're currently working (quickly) through a pan of blondies. I'm not sure what we'll try next but I'm sure it'll be delicious. Torn between the turtle brownies or ginger molasses pan-banging cookies. The recipes are easy to follow, and though I haven't yet attempted the macarons, the tone of the book gives me confidence that I'd at least wind up with something edible - even tasty. A welcome addition to my cookbook shelf. Thanks to the publisher for a NetGalley."

So good!
"I LOVE cookies. Cookies are kind of my thing, especially at Christmas. So I was very very excited to get the ARC for this recipe book. It was just what I hoped for. Full of beautiful pictures of delicious looking cookies with clearly labeled sections and detailed instructions. This is an excellent recipe book. The only problem was which recipe should I try for this review? This leads to my cookie confession, I am good at making cookies … except for chocolate chip. I have no idea what is going on, I’ve tried so many different recipes, followed instructions to the tee and they all come out bad. So I’ve given up. I only make chocolate chip cookies from the package now. Life it too short to waste time making bad food right? With that in mind, I skipped the chocolate chip recipe and ended up choosing the Lemon cookies. They were soooooo good! Very tasty and full of bright flavor. They didn’t last very long in my cookie loving house. The only caveat I have to the recipes in this book is that they tend to be a little labor intensive. Cook for a few minutes, go in and turn the pan, cook a couple more minutes and tap the pan on the rack, cook a few more minutes and tap again, then they are done. As a person with disabilites, this is more work than I am capable of. The good thing is that skipping those extra steps shouldn’t stop you from making the recipes, but it does change the look of the final product a little. So I can still make these sweet cookies without the extra work if I want. All in all, this cookie book was excellent, and if you are looking to boost your holiday repertoire then look no further. Just in time right?! Song for this book: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas – Michael Bublé Disclaimer: I received this book free from Netgalley"
An excellent book for every cookie lover or baker
"If you love cookies, sweets, baking in general and cookbooks this is an excellent book to add to your collection. There is a glorious array of recipes included in this book. From everyday to special occasion and novice to challenging, I feel there is something here for every baker. This book features easy to follow instructions and scrumptious looking photos that will have you eager to get in the kitchen just as soon as you can to begin baking. There's a large portion of these recipes that are easily made from pantry staples and some that require some more specialized ingredients that if you are like me, you will not have on hand. In my opinion though, nothing is too outrageous and if it can't be found were you regularly shop there is always the internet. While I have not tried every recipe, some of my very favorite ones have been the Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, the Cinnamon Roll Blondies and the lemon sugar cookies. Also included are some helpful tips, tricks and general info that is sure to help elevate your baking game. This is my independent, impartial review."
a monster of a cookie book
"Author Sarah Kieffer knows a thing or two about cookies. She’s made thousands of them since she was a teenager. She used baking as a way to cope with junior high and high school, and after falling away from the kitchen in college, she got a job at a small coffee shop as a barista and ended up filling up their pastry displays. And after many years of baking, creating recipes, testing recipes, and sharing baked treats, she is giving us all her best insights for baking delicious cookies. After getting us set up for success by talking us through the equipment we’ll need, she talks the ingredients, going so far as to tell us major brands she used for recipe testing (and they’re not expensive, hard-to-find brands—she used Gold Medal and C&H and Land O’Lakes). After some tips about measurements and making sure your oven temperature is consistent and things like tempering chocolate, then Kieffer pulls the curtains back and gets to the recipes. First, the classics, starting with the obvious: Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies. Because what cookie is more iconic than that? But if a soft cookie isn’t your thing, she offers several variations for you to try instead. And then it’s on to other classic cookies, like Peanut Butter Cookies, Sugar Cookies, (my personal favorite cookie, that you can see right on that cover) Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, Snickerdoodles, Ginger Cookies, and Shortbread. Then it’s to Brownies and Blondies, where she again offers several variations of a classic brownie—My Favorite Brownies, Fudgy Brownies, Cakey Brownies—before moving on to Cream Cheese Brownies, Turtle Brownies, Rocky Road Brownies, and even Marshmallow Peanut Butter Brownies. There are also several takes on White Chocolate Brownies and Blondies (Cinnamon Roll Blondies? Come on! I have to try those!) And since that’s not enough, there is a chapter for the Fruitextravaganza, with Lemon Sugar Cookies, Orange Almond Shortbread Cookies, Raspberry Rye, Banana Cream Pie Bars, Danish Pear-Apple Bars, Mixed Berry Crumble Bars, and Red Wine Cherry Cheesecake Swirl Bars, just to name a few. And then there’s a chapter called The Next Level, as if these recipes weren’t already next level. There are Smoky Butterscotch, French Meringues, Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies, Chocolate Hazelnut Bars, French Silk Pie Bars, Creme Brulee Cheesecake Bars, and Carrot Cake Bars with Meringue. Then it’s Time to Play, with Macarons, Neapolitan Cookies, Kitchen Sink Cookies, Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pretzel Bark, and Caramelized White Chocolate Pistachio Bark. And then you find out Kieffer was just getting warmed up. In her chapter Pan-Banging Cookies, she shares her unique technique of tapping the pan several times during baking, which creates a cookie with ripples at the outside. That creates a crisp outer edge and a chewy center, together in one cookie. And then she gives her recipes for her pan-banging classic Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies, Rum Raisin Cookies, Rocky Road Cookies, Toasted Sesame Cookies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Ginger Molasses Cookies, Snickerdoodles, and others. Finally, she’s all about the Mix and Match, like her Peanut Butter Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling, Ginger Cookies with Salted Caramel Ice Cream, Oatmeal Cream Pies, Brownies with Coffee Ice Cream, and Chocolate Malt Ice Box Bars, for example. And finally, she offers up basic recipes that you’ll need to put all these together (think of this chapter as a masterclass of baking techniques): Rough Puff Pastry, Pastry Cream, Lemon Curd, Caramel, Marshmallows, No-Churn Ice Cream, Whipped Cream, Candied Nuts, and Caramel Shards, just to name a few. 100 Cookies is the cookie cookbook we need right now, with lots of gorgeous photos, classic recipes, new techniques, and even a list of music to bake by. Cookies are such a basic form of comfort food. They’re portable, freezable, and so very giftable. But mostly, they just remind us of childhood, of home, of family, and of all that’s good in the world. And that is something we desperately need these days.
