Live Well Bake Cookies: 75 Classic Cookie Recipes for Every Occasion by Danielle Rye is currently scheduled for release on August 24 2021. Danielle Rye, the creator of the popular baking blog Live Well Bake Often, believes that anyone can become an expert baker, and in this book she will help you do just that by gently guiding you in the kitchen with foolproof recipes for cookies and treats that come out perfectly portioned and dependably delicious every single time. Recipes include a range of classic, oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate, holiday, seasonal, and Christmas cookies, including: Chocolate Chip Cookies, Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies, Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bars, Double Chocolate M&M’s Cookies, Iced Maple Cinnamon Cookies, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, Apple Cinnamon Snickerdoodles, Peppermint Snowball Cookies, Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars Complete with helpful tips and tricks, make-ahead and freezing instructions, small-batch recipes, and a gorgeous photograph accompanying every recipe, this cookbook will truly have you living your best baking life.

Live Well Bake Cookies offers readers exactly what the title suggests, 75 cookie recipes with enough variety to satisfy just about every cookie eater. I like that the recipes include both metric and standard US measurements so that bakers used to both can enjoy the recipes without extra math and calculations. I liked that tips and tricks were included, along with freezing ad storage information. I think the small batch information was also a nice touch, because not everyone needs or wants the temptation of extra cookies in the freezer. The recipes are well written and easy to follow. There were some formatting issues that made readability a struggle in some places, but I am going with the assumption that this is because I was reading a digital galley and these problems will be solved before the print version is shipped. I think fans of the blogger and dedicated cookie bakers looking to add to their cookbook collection will want to add this to their collection. For those of us that really love to bake but are completely out of shelf space for cookbooks- I highly recommend borrowing from a library (or buying and then donating to a local library) to find your favorite recipes and hints to add to your knowledge base.

This book has SO many recipes I am eager to make. This is a great cookbook for anyone who likes to bake cookies. I liked the breakdown by chapter themes and I can't wait to make some of these!

The cover reels you in with delicious looking cookies and doesn’t stop there. With easy to follow instructions, beautiful photographs and so many different types of cookies you will want to run to your kitchen and try them all. I loved the small batch recipes and I am looking forward to experimenting with the Lucky Charms Cookies. I will definitely be pulling this cookbook out when it is time for a cookie swap!

I want to thank NetGalley, Danielle Rye and Quarto Publishing Group for the e-ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.

You have every type of cookie in here, this book covers the basic recipes, that most people would like to try at home. It's easy and straightforward, it has troubleshooting lists, which is handy. After reading this, I want to go to the kitchen immediately and try out the recipes. Because who doesn't like cookies? Even if you don't, you can stil bake this and share it with others, they must be impressed. The pictures are good and tempting too. Goodbye diet!

Absolutely everything you need to know about making delicious cookies and baked goods that would delight every member of the family.
The photographs and quality of the book are excellent throughout..

I loved this cookbook! The pictures were high quality, and the recipes were clear and easy to follow. This cookbook had classic recipes, and some fun ones that I can’t wait to try.

What an appetizing cookbook! Tons of great recipes and a great color photo of every single one. The instructions are easy to follow and include many pro baking tips. The Sour Cream Cookies and Iced Lemon Poppy Seed Cookes were especially good.

I pride myself on being a connoisseur of cookies, a consumer of crumbly confection. When I saw this book on NetGalley, I couldn’t set my cookie down fast enough to grab this book.

In all seriousness, this book takes a delectable dessert and teaches readers how to bake them with success. The only thing better than cookies themselves is the ability to bake them!

This book features clear, concise information; tantalizing, vivid photographs; accessible, approachable word choices; and helpful tips and tricks that apply to the novice just as much as to the professional.

My favorite part of the book is the “small batch” feature, because in a household of one, as much as I love cookies, I can’t easily eat a whole batch. The ability to make scrumptious cookies without having to crunch numbers to reduce the recipes is a feature I didn’t know was a thing until I read it, and something I wish all cookbooks featured.

A whole book of cookie recipes - HEAVEN!
To get the bad point out of the way: The background pattern in the index and chapter heads makes reading the text well nigh impossible - v annoying.
Very good is that weights/measurements are given in US and European units. Some terms like “old-fashioned rolled oats” and “packed light brown sugar” are unknown to my UK ears, but hey-ho...
Yield, Pro- baking tips and time required are also very helpful.
Mouthwatering food images made me drool dangerously over the ebook reader ;)
And, as with any cookbook, I tested some of the recipes - just for research purposes, you understand...
The oatmeal raisin cookies and the Snickerdoodles came out just fine.
The shortbread, veering from the tried and tested ratio 1:2:3 for sugar:butter:flour came out too greasy and floury - I’ll stick with my old recipe.
And if the words “Edible peanut butter cookie dough” do not reach into the deepest depth of your cravings... then you cannot be saved.
Aaaand: “Turtle cookie cups” became a currency in our household.
All in all a very rounded compendium for cookie monsters - and those who bake for them.

Loved the recipes, never made or even seen a snickerdoodle cookie before. Now I am a fan they were easy to make.

I adore this recipe book! Rye includes so many staples like chocolate chip cookies or snickerdoodles, but also ventures out and includes more out-there cookies that made me salivate just by reading through the recipes!
So far, I've baked three of the recipes and while the sugar intake has definitely meddled my brain, I absolutely devoured all the batches of cookies (personal favorite might be the white macadamia cookie). I also adore that Rye included some pro-tips with every recipe to make sure that beginners also know what they can do to make the baking process easier!
Simple yet stunning, this is a must for every baking or cookie lover!

First of all, the cover is enough to unleash my inner cookie monster *gasp*. I just find the cover fitting for such a title as this.

I had never heard of Danielle Rye till I picked this cookbook and boy aren't I glad I did. In case you are wondering the recipe book is full of many wonderful cookie recipes to try. It has basic cookie recipes we all know and then slowly weaves into those unfamiliar but so effortlessly that you feel like you know what you are doing.

This book explains what you need, mistakes you should not make and the photography is just amazing. If you love baking and cookies then you need to get this book because it's so good. A huge thanks to Rock Point and NetGalley for my e-ARC in exchange for an honest review

Good cookie book! The intro section includes Ingredients, Tools & Equipment, Baking Tips, Troubleshooting Guide, Storage, Make-Ahead Tips, Freezing Instructions, and Packing and Shipping.
Recipes are in chapters on The Classics, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Fun Flavor Combinations, Celebrations, and Christmas. Each recipe has a full color photo, which I love. I'm only giving this book a four because the majority of the recipes seem like those that are widely available - I didn't really find anything in here that made me think, "wow, that's new." But what is here all looks very good.

A great all-around cookbook for people who love baking cookies! Clear instructions and beautiful photos. I've baked four of the recipes, and they've come out beautifully! A must-have for cookie fans.

Thank you so much for the chance to read and review this cookbook/baking guide in exchange for honest feedback. Not going to lie, I absolutely need some cookies and a tall glass of milk after reading through this book. Jam packed (get it?) with information and tips, this baking guide is highly informative, visually appealing, and modern in its application and usefulness. I would highly recommend this book to those like me who are baking beginners but love the hobby, as well as those who are seasoned but like ideas/collect guides. I am going to be on the look out for this at my local library because I want to try a few recipes and maybe review how they turn out! Highly recommended.

Danielle Rye's "Live Well Bake Cookies" cookbook follows on from her successful online blog "Live Well Bake Often". It's filled with 75 delicious recipes set out in sections specific to either the key ingredient - oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate or by tradition- classic or experimental flavour combos, or by occasion - celebration or Christmas.

There is quite a lot of repetition across some of these sections, particularly those themed by flavour. However each recipe is tempting and the pictures that accompany them are mouthwatering. Rye outlines what equipment you need and there are a ton of variations, tips and troubleshooting advice to hand within the pages to ensure a brilliant cookie each time.

The recipes listed produce large amounts of cookies and so I halved the recipes. The recipes I tried were easy to follow and even easier to eat! In particular, the oatmeal cream pies and the peanut butter blossoms were a big hit with everyone who tried them.

There's a cookie in here for everyone, and it will be a brilliant asset to your collection of recipe books.

Thank you to Danielle Rye, Rock Point - Quarto publishing point, and Netgalley for the opportunity to review an advanced copy of the book in exhange for an honest opinion.

Wow! Seriously impressed.

If you love cookies you'll love this.
I've tried a few and I'm hooked. I even shared some with my neighbours and now they keep asking for more.

What I found really helpful was that the author had included several small batch recipes which are not usually included in other baking books. I found this especially useful as I live alone, large batches are bad for the waist line.

I would definitely recommend this to all cookie lovers or baking lovers. Some of the recipes and truly inspirational.

Enjoy!

I had so much fun with Live Well Bake Cookies - I loved the layout and simplicity of the book that didn't overwhelm me (which is easy to do in my case with bake/cook books). I appreciated the breakout of cookie type and honed in on the 'Fun Flavor Combinations and Celebration Cookies" sections. I'm not a cookie person in general but I love to bake them and give them as presents which was awesomely described in "Packing and Shipping Cookies". I'd always wondered about that and with the author's tips and tricks, I'll be able to mail them! So exciting.

From basic favourites to some more unusual bakes, this book is full of all types of cookies (duh)!
The instructions are easy to follow, and there are handy tips to help throughout. I also love that the ingredients are listed in cups and grams - it's so helpful to have both!

My only criticism is that I couldn't read some of the title pages through the book due to the font/background combination - this may not be the same on the printed version, and it in no way detracted from the overall book!

[I received a copy of this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review]

This is such a cute recipe book! Whoever designed the inside is a wizard because the layouts are so cute with high-quality pictures.

I don't even know where to start. There are so many recipes in here for cookies. AND EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?!? I am going to be making that one ASAP. Like... every cookie you can think of is included in here. Themed, holiday, chocolate, peanut butter base, oatmeal based, oh my gosh all the pictures are amazing.

I've only made the original chocolate chip cookie recipe and if that's any indicator, I will be obese by the end of the year.

I love the index in the back because it offers you a quick way to find the recipe you want instead of flipping through. Because it's dangerous to flip through. You'll get sidetracked finding your recipe for an even better recipe and soon enough you'll be quitting your job and start baking all the cookies. Ah so happy I got this and will probably buy this for friends when it comes out!
