Katie Jacobs The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book is a wonderful cookbook with enticing pictures and helpful tips everyone will want in their kitchen

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Celebrate for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Warning do not open this cookbook hungry!!!!!

The author creates an easy step by step guide to every thing with Chocolate chips , cakes ,cookies and even ice cream. I also loved how a guide was provided for difficulty levels and dietary restrictions.

The pictures were mouthwatering as well .

I made several of the recipes and as a non baker found each one easy to follow and everything came out delicious . Also the little description before each recipe was fun and entertaining.

just reviewed The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book by Katie Jacobs. #TheChocolateChipCookieBook #NetGalley

Wowza! I had no idea how diverse the whole world of chocolate chip cookie desserts could be! Fantastically imaginative. And everything looks scrumptious.

Outside of the I-must-eat-that-now factor, I was so impressed with how Jacobs visually documented the different end results of cookies made with different ingredients and techniques. She not only told us the difference, but more importantly she showed us. Examples: cookies made with a cookie scoop vs hand-rounded, those made with different sized scoops, those made with butter in various states, different egg ratios, different sugar types, etc. This was such a huge bump in cookie making wisdom that Jacobs has taken my cookie making skills to the next level.

I can't wait to taste my way through this book!

I received this book as an eArc through NetGalley. By the time I finished flipping through the table of contents, I knew I was going to need to buy a copy so that it can be available to me forever. I don't like to pick up cook books for review unless I know I will actually be able to take the time to make a few of the recipes. And I did here. Everything is so good! My husband and I just finished off the cookie cake, and I'm going to make something new tomorrow. Recipes are clear, easy to follow, and incredibly tasty. Does the cookie cake 100% match the mall version? No, this one tastes so much better! Still gives the giant cookie fun, but with better texture and flavor. I haven't been disappointed in anything I've tried.

Only chocolate chips? Crazy and brilliant.

A cookie book only about chocolate chips? Yep. Crazy? Sure. But absolutely brilliant. Katie Jacobs has done all the hardwork for you. She's figured out the science of baking chocolate chips cookies (I thought I cracked the code when i figured out to chill the cookie dough and cool the baking pan). Five chapters of highly nuanced recipes featuring chocolate chips in a myriad of iterations.

Lovely photos, a good layout, handy Katie Tips for each recipe, it is an easy to use, extensive cookie book. Perfect for families and kids. My favorite recipes were the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie and the chocolate chip shortbread. There are a plethora of imaginative recipes, highly creative and all yummy.
Recommend.

A whole book about chocolate chip cookies? How many ways can you make a chocolate chip cookie? It turns out there are so many ways! Not everything in this book is a cookie, but the recipes are all twists on a chocolate chip cookie.

What to Expect from this Cookbook

This book has everything from Traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies to Chocolate Chip Cookie Fudge and Chocolate Chip Cookie Cream Cheese Poundcake. There are even recipes for those who follow plant-based, paleo or gluten-free diets. There’s a recipe for making just one cookie if you’re home alone with a craving and recipes for the fastest way to make a bunch of cookies if you realize you need several dozen really quickly.

The book starts out with a look into the science of the cookie. I’m not a scientist, but this is very accessible and very useful information for the baker. Plus, I finally understand exactly how baking powder and baking soda work and the differences between them!

I went in to reading this book thinking it would be fun, but not a book I would really need to keep in my collection. I have since changed my mind and am planning to buy myself a hard copy. The recipes are ones that I will want to revisit and the scientific information can be applied to all of my baking, so I’d like to have it on hand as a reference.

The recipes are broken down into the following sections:
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Specialty Cookies
Cakes, Pies, and Giant Cookies
Fun Stuff
Healthy(ish) Treats

What Else I Like About this Cookbook

-The recipes are cleanly presented with clear instructions.

-There are wonderful photos of most of the recipes.

- Each recipe has an explanation of why or how the recipe was initially developed.

-At the bottom of many recipes is a section called “Katie’s Tips” that gives you hints for making the recipes work better for you - such as when to slice the brownies or how to freeze a batch for later.

-I had never heard of resting chocolate chip cookie dough before, but I am looking forward to trying it.

-There’s also a symbol at the top of a recipe to let the baker know if the recipe will require refrigerator or freezer time.

-The appendix breaks down the recipes both by ease of making a recipe and the best season for making them.

Experience Level Needed
Recipes include labels for complexity from 1-5. This book will work for bakers of any skill level.

I love chocolate chip buscuits, and I'd been struggling with my biscuits never flattening out in the oven. I'd done a bunch of research, but it still wasn't working out. So i was pretty happy to receive this book from NetGalley.
It's very clear and well written, starting with interesting and informative general information and moving into recopies, which are divided into three sections: Cookie, bars and fancy desserts.

I know when I request these books that, generally speaking, the publishers don't expect reviewers to actually cook multiple recipes (or get obsessed with polymer clay jewellery) but I decided to do just that. The recipes were great, really clearly written and laid out, and every recipe I made (and i made lot of them) was easy, clear and delicious.

I made:

Chocolate chip cookies - delicious
Chocolate lava cakes - a bit over the top, but also tasty and delicious, and weirdly good cold from the fridge a couple of days later.
M & M biscuits, which don't look pretty, but were huge and tasted amazing.
In-side out biscuits, which were so tasty. The author says these are best eaten hot, but I ate them everyday for a week after I made them, and they only got better.
"Chocolate chip cake" which was sort of a chocolate chip biscuit as a flan.

All delicious. The only reason I'm not 5 starring this one is that all measurements were cups or sticks - not even ounces, so I spent a lot of time yelling "hey google, what's 2 sticks of butter in grams?". This was a shame, since in every other was this book is so strong, but it made the experience of cooking from it cumbersome. Didn't stop me giving it my best though.

This book was great, the recipes I tried all tasted wonderful! I loved all the variations of a chocolate chip cookie, which is already so good!

For people who love chocolate chip cookies – and who doesn’t? After some interesting introductory chapters, this book is divided into several sections for recipes:
The Classics – many recipes are variations on a theme and most people have had something similar to these cookies. Of course, they are all delicious. You may want to experiment to find your very favorite. This section provides you with some great recipes. One that I found intriguing is the recipe for Cut-Out Chocolate Chip cookies – you know cut-outs. You have them at Christmas and other special occasions. I find the bland. BUT now you can make chocolate chip cut-outs and decorate or not. Yum!
Specialty Cookies and Bars, - Mmm. Great cookie options in this section. How about Kentucky Derby Pie cookies, or maybe Bananas Foster Chocolate Chip cookies?
Cakes, Pies, and Giant Cookies – How about Chocolate Chip Dough Cheesecake? Or maybe Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie?
The Fun Stuff – So much fun here. Chocolate Chip Cookie Tiramisu, or Chocolate Chip Stuffed Soft Pretzels? Really ingenious recipes are found here.
Healthy(ish) Treats – this chapter contains recipes for vegan, gluten-free, and other more healthful options. For me, I’m sticking with the first 4 chapters!
Beautiful photographs, helpful visual cues as to the difficulty of the recipe, and special appendices make this book one that everyone who loves chocolate chip cookies, or knows someone who does, will want to have on their shelf.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book by Katie Jacobs is visually appealing, easy to follow and full of tips to help simplify the process.

I appreciated how Katie included the science behind the ingredients. When I understand the reason for something, I retain the knowledge better.

I really enjoyed Katie’s tips for each of the recipes. I especially like her top on getting butter to room temp-it worked perfectly!

The instructions are straight forward, simply written and have levels of difficulty ranking each one. My only gripe is I would have liked the metric measurements in parentheses. I started weighing all my ingredients a few years back and I love the preciseness of that which Katie encourages as well. It would have been helpful to have it right there in the recipe instead of having to calculate it myself.

Aesthetically, there are wonderful images to complement the instructions and to give an example of the final product. This is a very classy cookie book!

I recently just made Katie’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lace Cookies and they were delicious! They were crispy on ends and chewy in the middle with a sugary and slight salty aftertaste. I received lots of complements on them! I also made her Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies although I substituted Sunbutter for peanut butter (allergies) and they came out delicious as well!!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Celebrate for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Katie Jacobs cookbook has quickly become one of my favorites. The foodstyling in this book is awesome and I really enjoy the details and guides that are layout in the start of the book. The recipes are easy to follow and I love the detail she put in explaining the recipes. I didn't realize all the different way you could use chocolate chips and if someone is looking for a all around guide and lesson in working with chocolate chips, I would reccommend this book. I even want to pick up a physical copy for myself.

This book is not only beautiful (the photos of the bakes are stunning), but it's also guaranteed to make you bake at least three different treats immediately! I earmarked so many of the recipes to try, and I will be using this for years to come!! Would definitely recommend if chocolate chip cookies (or lots of other chocolate chip-based desserts) are your thing!

THINGS I LIKED
1. The variety of recipes and choices you can implement chocolate chips
2. The clear, beautiful pictures of every recipe
3. The recipes were very easy to follow and understand
🍪🍪
This is one of the first cookbooks I've read in years, and it has made me more interested in that genre. My advice to you when you want to read it is to come with a full stomach and a readiness to bake, because you're going to need it

I received a free copy of The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book by Katie Jacobs, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, who knew there were so many chocolate chip cookie variations? I mean, some of these are no brainers, but there are definitely some interesting ideas and tips in this book. Lots of science-behind-baking information, like how the types of fats used, temperature and time baked, etc. make the cookie making process make sense!

I loved the pictures in this book too- very helpful and well photographed.

Really, this is an excellent addition to any baker's cookbook collection- many unique recipes that seem well explained and fairly easy to make. A really neat book!

How many spin-off recipes could you have from "chocolate chip cookie", right? While you may wonder, I think Katie Jacobs pulled it off pretty well. It is pretty classic and as you may expect from the title, it is nothing but the chocolate chip cookies and all about the chocolate chip cookies. If you are, though, a chocolate chip cookies connoisseur and a lover, this book is for you. There are many chocolate chip cookie based recipes in this book, from cookies, bars, pies, cakes to ice cream. While some have more than the other, I think author did her best to include every treats she can incorporate chocolate chip cookies into in one book. I appreciate this book has beautiful photos of all the recipes, however, recipes do not have metric measurements, so if you're used to scale and precision, this book may not be for you. Overall this book was fun to read and there are many recipes to try with kids!

This is the best cookie book I've ever read. Great pictures, very easy to follow recipes, and beautifully formatted.
The only thing that could make this book better would be scratch and sniff pictures, LOL.
I've already booked marked several recipes to try. It's a great asset to any cookie lover and baker.

*The Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar book is a recipe that is the authorʻs variations on her basic and most popular chocoalte chip cookie recipe. The recipes range from cookies to cakes to healthy baked specialties. The author is really creative, for example thereʻs a recipe that uses cookies as a cereal.

*I baked from all the book sections. Most of the recipes work well and some of them taste really good (like biscotti and the brown butter white chocolate chip cookie). All the sections contain recipes that would appeal to a broad audience. Only the healthy section contains ingredients that might not be in everyoneʻs cupboard. The cookbook starts with basic information that would help a beginner with useful hints about how variants on the ingredients and methods can change how the cookie results.

*This book is fun because there are so many variations. You can learn how to change a recipe and maybe even create variations on your favorite recipe.
