I love that this book offers so many tips for baking. I am a home baker/hobby cookie decorator and I love getting all the tips that sometimes take years to learn by mistake. Also... cookie recipes? Win/Win!

I received a free ARC of #TheCookieBible courtesy of #NetGalley, Rose Levy Beranbaum and the publishers, in exchange for my honest review.

I often flip quickly ahead to browse recipes and pictures in a new cookbook, but I read this one cover to cover in a single sitting and bookmarked 13 recipes I want to try. In other words, I loved this cookbook and I think it has a place in every home baker’s cookbook library. Rose provides excellent general technical advice upfront, and specific tips and suggestions with each recipe. The pictures are beautiful and so tempting! Each recipe is broken down so well and organized to help set you up for success. I am a convert to measuring by weight (vs volume) and I love that the author has provided both to make this accessible, yet gives gentle nudges to the superior method. (Seriously folks...getting a kitchen scale and switching to measuring by weight is life changing. Easier, more consistent fail proof baking, and fewer dishes to wash. Do it! I will not buy another cookbook that doesn’t include weight measurements.)

Within the first day of having this ARC, I made her chocolate chip cookie recipe. A classic with a brown butter twist, and a good test run of a new cookbook. The recipe was clear and precise and easy to follow. And the cookies turned out great! Can’t wait to give the other 12 recipes I bookmarked a go.

A very nice and well-rounded cookbook! I personally liked the categories in which it was divided. The photos were great and there are some classics and also unique recipes in here! I definitely have a few on my list that I would like to try now! I would say this is a great cookie and baking resource for beginners and even more experienced bakers! I definitely learned a few things!

This is the ultimate cookie recipe book, particularly for nut lovers. Unfortunately, being allergic to nuts there were a lot of recipes that I wouldn't be able to personally sample nut that didn't stop me trying out a few varieties for the family. The recipes are spot on and I enjoyed the array of tips given at the beginner of the book.

The photos of the finished products give the reader and amateur baker and idea of what they are aiming for.

A book that belongs on any cookie baker's shelf and any parents out there. There's some child friendly recipes that will keep little ones occupied and sweetened :).

With a mixture of light airy cookies, indulgent shortbreads and heavier biscuits, there's a cookie for everyone.

I love this book! It is beautifully written, well researched and I can’t wait to make so many of the cookies.

I don't review books I cannot read on my kindle. First, I can't get it open. Second, if I go to the trouble of reviewing it, I should be able to keep it if I want.

The recipes in "The Cookie Bible" look delicious and I can't wait to try some, like the Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies. I would say I am a decent baker, and I do weigh my ingredients when baking, but these instructions even suggest weighing the eggs, which might be too technical and off-putting for a lot of bakers--for example when I am baking my eggs NEVER get weighed.

Update: I tried two recipes. The Cranberry Chocolate Chip were excellent. Another, the Pumpkin Pecan were also tasty, but a lot of work for what little they yielded (I only got 14, despite measuring portions exactly as prescribed in the recipe). It was also a pretty involved recipe for a small yield. Definitely read the recipes carefully, some have a lot of steps

I've never heard that browning the butter to be used in chocolate chip cookies makes them taste better and have better texture. This book has lots of tips and ideas that take your cookies from good to fabulous. The basic recipe is there and then there are tips or ways of changing the recipe to make them different. I like that the recipes give the measurements on cups etc. Along with the weights. What a great book!

The Cookie Bible lives up to its title! The recipes are phenomenal, the instructions are accessible, and the tips walk you through the steps.

I am a novice when it comes to baking, and I find some recipes can be intimidating or vague. This compilation was easy to understand even for me. It was clear from the introduction that Beranbaum is passionate about the role baking can have in life, and this was only cemented by the beautiful recipes in this book.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What an apt title! The Cookie Bible contains thorough recipes for just about every cookie or cookie adjacent dessert your heart desires.

I bake a lot, and cookies are my favorite thing to make. But I’m certainly no expert, so I really appreciated how thoughtfully detailed each recipe is, containing variations and tips. I bookmarked so many of them already (I’m especially excited to make Hamentaschen and Blondie’s Blondies)

The photos are beautiful. I wish there was a photo for every recipe in the book. Thank you NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the ARC of this book. Can’t wait to get baking.

This is definitely a comprehensive resource and I'm so grateful for it. Admittedly, I'm not much of a cookie person aside from homemade chocolate chip cookies, however most of my family have an insane sweet tooth that I'm happy to satisfy on occasion. The Cookie Bible is a very detailed book that contains Baking Gems which are super helpful and what I really like is that the recipes show measurements and weights. There are so many recipes I haven't come across before and am excited to try (Lemon Lumpies, Tahini Crisps, Cloud Nines...). This is a great book to revisit, especially if you're ready to try a new cookie, or just get out of the chocolate chip cookie rut (although is it really a rut?!). The instructions are a bit lengthy and again really detailed, but after all, it is a cookie Bible.
