Rose Levy Beranbaum is not hyperbolic in referring to her baking tomes as "Bibles"- that's precisely what each will become for any self-respecting home baker. She knocks it out of the park again with beautiful photos and painstakingly tested recipes that will become instant classics in your home.

Rose Levy Beranbaum never fails. This is a truly fantastic collection of classics, new creations, and interesting spins, with thoughtful and well written instructions. Beautifully photographed as well.

I love this book, I bought it not only for my library but for myself. As an avid cookie baker I love this book and could see myself baking so many of the recipes in here. I love the tips that are given in addition to the recipes themselves.

Great content and recipes, though most can be found in previous books by the author. Not sure if necessary if you already have those

I was hesitant to review this cookbook and did not buy it because already have four of her books in kindle versions and two hardcovers so it would be a bit of overkill. I did read a pre-publish copy provided by Net Galley and made about five cookie recipes with satisfactory result. I did use one of the bleached white flours she recommended. I had to go buy it seeing I only use organic flour, and never bleached. I do see her point that to have consistency you need to stick with the recommendation. Once you have mastered the feel of the dough then feel free to experiment with your favorite flour, just be aware that you might need to reduce or increase ingredients to get the same result. I thought there were enough pictures but then I am of an age that learned to cook from books with no of almost no pictures. Because the book is not cheap, see if you can borrow it first from a library to see it something you will use.

So many cookies to pick from! This book is great and the variety is amazing. Have added so many recipes to my collection. Great book to have handy or give as a gift.

Cookies?? YES PLEASE! The variety of cookie recipes is just *Chef Kiss*. Tried the peanut butter and jelly buttons which took me right back to childhood. The lemon curd was also SO GOOD.

So many good recipes in here. Perfect for families to bake together for all occasions. Totally recommend librarians to stock this, and makes a perfect gift for friends or family.

This is a wonderful resource for all things cookie. A devoted fan, I already own The Cake Bible and the Pie and Pastry Bible. The Cookie Bible will be a wonderful addition to my collection. Her recipes are clear and thorough, there are no confusing parts that leave you wondering what to do next. All in all, a really great cookbook, whether you are a beginner or a pro!

There are many great cookie baking books, but this was exceptional. We bought a copy for the library and I bought 3 as gifts.

A comprehensive guide to delicious cookies: truly a confectionary "bible" as the title states. Rose Levy Beranbaum provides just about everything the accomplished cookie-baker might need: measurements by weight as well as by volume, listing any needed special equipment up front, mise en place instructions, photographs of the finished cookie (usually), and multiple variations for each recipe. My only quibbles: the index/table of contents aren't as easily navigable as they could be, and the recipes are mostly all so complex that they may scare off less experienced bakers.

What's better than a cookbook full of cookie recipes? This is my first cookbook from Rose Levy Beranbaum, so I don't have the criticism that some others do about repeat recipes. I appreciate that the recipes include measurements both by weight and volume. And I liked the knowledge she shares in the details.

This was a nice cookbook. I liked the variety of recipes and found them to be easy to follow. I will check out more from this author.

Rose Levy Beranbaum is a master at baking and this book has tons of amazing recipes. I honestly can't wait to try them. Highly recommend as a cookbook.

I am a big fan of baking, and I love to collect cookbooks that specialize in desserts. And to find a cookbook that had so many different varieties of cookies, at different skill levels, and from different countries was a dream come true.

One of the first things I look for when purchasing a cookbook is whether or not the book has photographs. And The Cookie Bible delivers! The photos are full page, colorful, and artistic. I love being able to look and see what the finished product of a recipe is supposed to look like.

I also like to see how difficult the recipes are to follow. The recipes are laid out clearly, with ingredients given in both cups/tablespoons and grams. The instructions are broken down cleanly into simple steps that are clearly understood and easy to follow. A lot of the recipes also contain variations, liking changing the chocolate or flavorings used or adding in nuts. In addition, every other page or so has a "Baking Gem," a extra tip or helpful addition that can be used in other recipes.

This is an absolute must for anyone looking to expand their cookie repertoire, but also anyone interested in really learning about baking.

Many thanks to Mariner Books and NetGalley for this advance reader's copy!

Every time I read one of Rose Levy Beranbaum's cookbooks I am inspired. I am definitely a cookie person and this book is so amazing. It truly is a bible. It is full of all kinds of cookies from the simple butter cookie to the more complex. This is a must have for cookie lovers! If you have a recipe library this would be a wonderful edition to your collection.

I would like to thank Rose Levy Beranbaum, Mariner Books, Harvest and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rose Levy Beranbaum is one of my favorite bakers in the whole world so I just knew I had to read this cookie book. I was not disappointed. I prefer my cookbooks to have lots of pictures and this one fit the bill. Gorgeous, full color pictures abound. The recipes in this book include so many different types and flavors! I really like that each recipe includes measurements for cups/tablespoons AND measurements by weight in grams. Baking is a real science and not very many cookbooks even give gram measurements at all. This book is a must for any home baker, especially those who love to make (and eat!) cookies as much as I do. This would also make a great gift for a young person, just learning how to bake as the recipes directions are easy to follow.

What a delightful cookbook! This book is full of easy to read and understand recipes. There is everything from basic cookies to more advanced options, making this a wonderful cookbook for those obsessed with cookies. I particularly liked that the recipes have a mise en place explanation, essentially if the recipe calls for room temperature butter this step of the recipe tells you when you should put out ingredients to get them to room temperature. I for sure will be trying out the Chocolate Sable recipe because they look scrumptious and I have never dipped my toe into Sable cookies. Make sure to add this to your cookbook collection! Happy Baking :D

Truly a cookie bible - its a gorgeous compilation of tried and true favorite cookie recipes, plus some new additions I've never seen before (but was excited to try)! One of my biggest criteria in looking for a good cookbook is the photographs - there is something about a gorgeous, glossy colored photo of food that draws me in and begs me to make it. This book is stunning for its photos. The recipes are easy to follow and provide measurements in both volume and weight. I love that almost all of the recipes have "baking gems" (aka tips and tricks). And finally, many of the recipes include variations that are as equally delicious as the base recipe.

In this digital age, cookbooks tend to be overlooked in favor of online recipe searches, but nothing can replace a gorgeous, hardback cookbook for me, and this is one I fully intend to purchase for my collection. I expect it will become a favorite in no time.

This is one of the best cookie recipe books I have read. So many interesting flavours!

This book was gorgeously layed out with beautiful pictures and very precise instructions. A great book for professionals and amateur bakers.

I will be buying this book to add to my collection.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.
