Yum!
That is the first word that comes to mind when opening up this gorgeous cookie
recipe book! The descriptions leave your
mouth watering. The bright, beautiful
photographs make you feel like you could just reach out and take a cookie off
the plate. Mindy is a creative genius
not just in the writing of this recipe book but in the layout of it and her
incredibly helpful hints.
The book is laid out in sections
according to types of cookies. These include: drop, shortbread, sandwich, egg white,
spritz, thumbprints, twice-baked, ruglelach/kolachkes, and bars.
The author also has a section for
measurement conversions. She tells you
how to stock your pantry with the basics for cookie baking ease. She devotes a
chapter to various “tools” one would use most often and for speciality cookies. One of the amazing sections I found most
interesting and useful was the section called:
Tricks of the trade. This details how to best to store each type of
cookie, how to measure certain types of ingredients, how to treat various types
of dough, what types of heat sources work best for the cookie you’re creating,
how to mix and combine ingredients, shaping and decorating and dipping
cookies. Mindy Segal has thought of
everything to make cookie making a delight!
I received this book free from the publishers
and was not required to write a positive review.
