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.

This is one of the most helpful cookbooks I've ever had the pleasure of using.  Absolutely packed with classic recipes cover to cover.  And the photos!  Breathtaking! 

I love the way the recipes are written, all the additional information and helpful tips, the communication style of the author, the multiple variations given with each recipe, I could go on and on.  I worked through this book page by page and my family couldn't be more appreciative!  

I am recommending this to everyone I know this holiday season.  This is an absolutely perfect gift for any one who loves to spend time in the kitchen, beginner to professional!

There are SO MANY types of cookies in this book!

The layout is nice, especially the “baking gems” for every recipe.The steps are broken down nicely. 

All the pictures are in color and are nicely sized. However, this book has many cookies that I have never seen before and I wish all the recipes have at least a small picture or two. I find that I am not inspired when the whole spread in a recipe is text. 

For a family who wants to baking all different types of cookies with their kids and experiment in the kitchen, this would be a fun book. It would also work for people without kids. There is truly something for everyone. 

For me, I cannot love a cookbook unless there is a picture for every recipe. I know that can be impractical and would make the book even larger and potentially more expensive. If you do not share my pickiness, this book might be for you. 

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fantastic collection of cookie recipes, I'll have to add this book to my collection of cookbooks! There are several recipes in this book that I haven't seen in any other book. The only cookie recipe book you need!

My thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy.

Rose Levy Beranbaum has got to be the most meticulous cookbook author working these days. This is another worthy addition to any collection (both professional or personal; I'll be buying a copy for my home library as well). Absolutely packed with delicious recipes, precise methods and cookies you won't find just anywhere.

Rose Levy Berenbaum's meticulously detailed recipes are guaranteed hits.  I made dozens of cookies from half a dozen of the recipes, and every one was exactly as described.  The "Baking Gems" provided with each recipe explain the why of the techniques, and warn the cook of the consequences (not always dire) of ignoring the technique.

I will admit that I found the recipes "fiddlier" than my traditional cookie stand-bys.  It wasn't clear to me, for example, that browning the butter for the molasses cookies made a discernible difference.    But when approaching a new-to-me cookie, I could rest assured that the recipe would be  clear, easy to follow and sure to succeed.

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