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.
