I am as much of a cookie addict as the author, and this book provides a variety of recipes as well as explains tips for making the dough either bake crispy or soft and chewy depending on your preference.

Thank you NetGalley for the copy of Sally's Cookie Addiction by Sally McKenney that I used and reviewed.
What can I say? I can't cook but I love too bake and I adored this book. It had recipes from frosting to cookies to bars and everything in between and I loved trying old favorites and new ones just for fun. The pictures were bright and colorful even on the Kindle edition and the book was even a joy to use in that format which was a surprise for me. I loved it. A great cookie book with so much more that would be a great gift or something to buy for your own use.
I am definitely giving Sally's Cookie Addiction five out of five

A good collection of cookies to tempt those who want to go a little bit further than the basic chocolate chip. As one who loves to bake cookies for my friends, I wanted to try several of these recipes. I noted a few of the recipes down and will be trying them in the coming months. I did appreciate her hints on chilling dough (something I do already) and to not substitute ingredients. A good book for those wanting to expand their cookie repertoire.

Due to the file I was able to access, I couldn't see the photos, so I can't speak to the quality of them.

An avid user of Sally's website, it is no surprise to me that this book is a winner. Whether you want to make oatmeal cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, holiday cookies, or shortbread there are recipes catered to a variety of palettes. The options are far ranging. Sally explains each step with a clarity that inspires an easy, well justified confidence. This is THE cookie cookbook.

I'm trying to be good and not give in to my cookie cravings -- and then a book like this comes along and I could eat every page! I love what Sally has done withy old favorites, giving them little tweaks to make them so much better. I love the ideas bursting out of the book.

I'm ready to bake them all (even the ones with pink frosting and multi-colored sprinkles).

Great book, great recipes, even puts weight of cups as we don't use cup measurements in the UK. I can't wait to try these recipes.

As a fan of the website Sally's Baking Addiction, I was excited to see a cookbook devoted to cookies, which is the section of her website to which I am most drawn. This cookbook contains a great number of recipes for cookies I would label "Classic American Cookies". She also has introductory sections about baking equipment, techniques and cooking tips and explanations about cookie baking which is very informational for the home cook. In addition to the classics, she offers additional versions/varieties as well as a few off the beaten path cookies, making this a great cookbook both for the newbie and more experienced home baker. Her sections are unique in that they are not divided into the traditional categories (slice and bake; bar cookies; pressed cookies, etc.) but is, rather, divided by type as categorized by ingredients (nuts; sprinkles, etc.). This would make a great gift for home bakers, new home owners, new adults, and the newly married.

This was a super scrumptious little cookie book. Packed full of delicious looking photos and incredibly yummy sounding recipes. The book is broken down into the following chapters. (Introduction, Key Ingredients, Kitchen Essentials, Sally’s Top 10 Cookie-Making Tips, How to Prevent Excess Spreading, Make-Ahead Tips and Freezing Instructions, Frosting and Icing, Family Favorites, All About Oats, Happy Holidays, Shortbread and Slice-and-bakes Galore, The Sprinkle Chapter, Nut About Nuts, Serious Chocolate Cravings, and Find Your Flavor). The recipes are attractively laid out and easy to follow. With little tips from Sally, herself and "make ahead suggestions" sprinkled throughout.

So if you are a cookie fan or know someone that is (and really who isn't??!!), this would make a great gift or addition to your very own cook book collection. Twi thumbs up from yours truly.
