Good book, nice recipes and very detailed.
The first section covers everything you need to know about baking cookies and the recipes are very detailed so is great for beginners.
I love that everything is in both metric and imperial measurements and temperatures.
Great hints and tips and information.

Love the results and going to make more of the recipes soon.

I buzzed through this download revelling in the variety of cookies! Love that Rose details what can and should be done at each stage. Ingredients are in both weight and cups. Each recipe has Gems at the end to make it even better. She explains the different types of ingredients so your experience will be exceptional. I've bookmarked the recipes I want to try first. Can't wait! Thank you Rose Levy Beranbaum and NetGalley for sharing this wonderful book. A definite purchase!

The Cookie Bible is the perfect name for this book. I’m in love with this book! I done tried so many of these recipes and they have been a hit with my friends and family alike. My favorite recipes to make were Jumbles, Chocolate Phantoms, and Churro Nuggets. My favorite to each were definitely the Jumbles. So if you are looking for new recipes and some great baking tips, this book is the one for you.

I couldn't wait to bake something from the book. But unfortunately it would not download on to my kindle. So at this time I can not make a review on it. I hope to buy it when it does come out.

SO many tasty treats which I can't wait to try.

This baking bible reminds me so much of some of my mother's cookbooks from my childhood. I love that it features lots of classic recipes alongside some more adventurous options so it's accessible to bakers at any level. Cookies are always something I struggle to get right so I'm looking forward to trying some of the tips.

Thank you to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and NetGalley for a copy of the ARC in return for my honest review.

I love how this book is like a fusion of passion and science. It's very specific with the instructions, measurements and methods without being too technical. It's fairly easy to understand making it possible for novice bakers to succeed with most, if not all, of the recipes. It's also written with charming, personal voice, like you're having baking lessons with a friend. This, indeed, is THE Cookie Bible to rival all cookie bibles and I will be saving up to buy a hardbound copy of this!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this free ARC. This review is made of my own accord, with no monetary compensation, whatsoever from the names mentioned above and/or the rightful owners of this ARC.

This book is exactly what it says it is: a cookie Bible. I particularly enjoyed the introductory section with helpful tips applicable to all cookie recipes. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to try the actual recipes yet, because of the time of year (Lent -- I'm fasting and avoiding all sweets) and because I'm trying to lose weight gained due to the pandemic quarantine time. However, the book itself is gorgeous, with many gorgeous pictures of cookies and detailed step-by-step recipes. Thanks Net Galley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the digital galley in exchange for my honest review.

THE COOKIE BIBLE is one of those cookbooks where just reading it leads to a serious case of munchies. Or, shall I say, the sudden desire to eat copious amounts of crunchy, soft or just plain delicious cookies. Author Rose Levy Beranbaum is a stickler for precision in baking; nothing is left to chance in these recipes. Every detail is addressed, discussed and the author’s preferences are clear. I made one of the recipes and it was delicious, although very labor intensive. Somehow cookies seem like a baked good that should be easy and fast. This book suggests that rigor and planning are the only routes to success. The book will be an amazing gift or a welcome addition to a cook’s library. I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

This book is an absolute must-have for anyone who enjoys baking cookies, or for anyone who has always wanted to start. As in her previous books, Rose Levy Beranbaum has rigorously researched and tested her recipes. The cookies range from plain and simple favorites you can whip up anytime to the more complicated and fancy. This beautifully designed book would make a terrific gift to a baker or a would-be baker. A total treat!

I’m a cookie freak! The Cookie Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum is the greatest cookie cookbook I’ve read so far.

Lots of interesting technical information, well explained and easy to understand. The recipes are beautifully photographed and are varied and original. From the chocolate chips cookies to raspberry linzer hearts, the chocolate madeleines to the many luscious squares and bars. You’ll find treats for everyone’s taste.

I particularly appreciated the “Baking Gems” which are tricks and bits of knowledge the author shares. They made me feel like she was right here in the kitchen with me teaching me all her secrets.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is truly a cookie bible! The photographs are beautiful and I love how the cookies are arranged in the table of contents: rolled versus dropped cookies etc. Very precise instructions for each recipe! Recommend this book for every baker for their cookbook library!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

I love cookbooks! My favorite cookbooks are those that involve baking.
I have a soft spot in my heart for cookie cookbooks. The Cookie Bible is amazing. It contains familiar favorites made with chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, oatmeal, peanut butter and various spices. It also contains cookie recipes from Europe and other countries. There is also a section of holiday recipes to try.

The recipes include hints and suggestions for making the cookies the best they can be. The directions lead you through the recipes which seem pretty fool proof. One of the best features of this cookbook is the delicious looking photographs. They made me want to drag out the sugar, flour and butter to start baking. This cookbook does not disappoint.

This is an amazing cookbook and also a beautiful one. That’s no surprise, considering the “pedigree” of the author, Rose Levy Beranbaum. The book is divided by method: rolled by hand, dropped or piped, bar cookies, and so forth, which is a great idea. Sometimes you just don’t want to deal with chilling and rolling out dough! Each recipe is clearly explained and most have gorgeous photographs by Matthew Septimus. Beranbaum includes tips with each recipe for what to have ready ahead of time (“mise en place”), plus “baking gems”, miscellaneous advice and explanations (including some of her favorite brands of flour and chocolate chips), how to store the cookies, etc. Many cookies also list variations to try. There’s an extensive front section with advice on everything from equipment to ingredients. I love that each recipe includes both measurements and weights. I’ve recently started using weights when baking and have found it to be very easy, as long as you’ve got a good scale that will “tare” to zero. Since I had some egg whites in my fridge, I decided to try out her recipe for meringue cookies and was successful even without a pastry bag. There are many more that I look forward to trying soon!

Thank you to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the opportunity to read an advance readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

A must have cookie book! Rose covers everything from simple cookies to more complicated ones with ease. My favorite part of the book, other than all the great recipes, is that the ingredients were presented in baker formulas along with standard baking measurements.

This cookbook will have you coming back again and again, with it's standard recipe at the beginning and then ways to switch it up with different mix-in ingredients at the end. Leaves endless opportunities to never make the same cookies again!

I can't wait for the 2021 Holiday season to be able to gift this to all the bakers I know.

As a home baker I enjoy reading and looking at new cookbooks dealing with baking. The Cookie Bible is a great one to add to your collection. If you have any questions about baking this book will have the answers. Problems with a cookie you will find the answers. Looking for a specific cookie, if it isn't here you won't find it anywhere else. She gives all kinds of tips and tricks to baking the perfect cookie. Many of these I will start using in my baking. Recipes are given in grams and cups to make it more universally acceptable. I love having pictures of the recipes and the pictures of the cookies are making my mouth water.

Buy this cookie cookbook and refer to it often. Try something new. Learn some background on some of the recipes. Keep the cookie jar filled with all kinds of special cookies. Your family will thank you.

Granted an early release copy by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book was really good! I want to make all the cookies from this book! Try it for yourself

This cookbook gives so many options of cookies to make. I could and would gain 100 pounds! Great photography, easy to read recipes and descriptions. The book covers all types of options and have placed them in an order that will be easy to locate. I can't wait to spend a weekend baking and gifting plates of cookies! Highly recommend for when you Pinterest account it down. It will be a great go to cookbook.

The cookie bible was wonderful with something for everyone. The book is very well organized and thoughtfully laid out. I particularly liked the mise en place section of every recipe which prevented a mid recipe panic if I forgot to take out butter, or realized I didn’t have an important ingredient. I look forward to buying this one when it comes out.

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I like to consider myself an experienced home baker, which means that I can follow a recipe pretty well and my cookies rarely flop. So I was super excited to check this volume out.

I'm impressed. I was surprised to find myself totally engrossed by the tools and ingredients section which was thorough and informative. I even found myself running to heat up some water to test if my baking powder was still active after reading that bit. Don't worry, it was.

I really appreciate how the recipes are laid out. You have measurements by both volume and weight, as well as notes for substitutions on less common or universally enjoyed ingredients. Each recipe has a Mise en Place section to get you set up and ready to bake. As someone who sometimes has a mid-bake panic when I realize I've forgotten to soften butter, or zest an orange, this section is excellent.

To test, I baked Rose's Dream Chocolate Chip Cookies, the first recipe in the book. Though I didn't brown the butter and subbed dried cranberries for the walnuts (both are written alternatives in the recipe). The recipe calls for measuring out each cookie, rolling the dough and then flattening. This produces a nice, round, uniform cookie. I did the second half of the recipe with the ole two spoon scoop method which produces a less nice looking, but identically tasty cookie.

I'm impressed by the book. Super informative with tons of recipes. Even if this version of chocolate chip cookies isn't my favorite, texture wise. I bookmarked several recipes in the advance copy that I'd love to try and I imagine I'll be adding the physical book to my bookshelf when it's published.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cookie Bible has something for everyone. Chocolate lover? Try the Chocolate-Studded Truffle Cookies Like things a bit more on the tart side? The Lemon Cranberry Squares are for you. If you are like my husband and do not care for things that are too sweet, the Turkish Ginger Lime Cookies are perfect. The book begins the basics of baking "the Golden Rules" , followed by detailed description of equipment and ingredients. As someone who used to home test recipes for national publication, I look at recipe layout and instructions with a discerning eye. Measurements are provided in both volume and weight - pick your preference or even mix the two. Instruction begin with Mise En Place, which is helpful, especially for novice bakers -you won't be unprepared for any step. At the end of the recipe, there are notes , "Baking Gems" which may provide additional technique instructions or insight into the ingredients. The final section of the recipes are variations - ways to change it up by switching or adding ingredients to your own liking.
The recipe choices cover bars, rolled, dropped, meringues, candies and more. Old favorites and new ones waiting to be discovered are found on the pages. This would be a wonderful gift for the baker in your life, be they aspirational or accomplished. I know itI will be giving out a few copies! My thanks to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
