Wow! If you love chocolate chip cookies and other tasty desserts with sweet chocolatey morsels in them then this is the book for you! This recipe book is jam packed with cookies, bars, cheesecake, even milkshake recipes. The list goes on! The pictures of each recipe look devine and immediately make we want to try them all.
Hands down I would buy this book if I came across it in a store.
Now I’m off to try a couple of these recipes in hopes that I can add them to my arsenal of cookie recipes.

Thanks to Net Galley and Harper Celebrate for the advanced copy.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book by Katie Jacob caught my attention because I couldn’t quite believe that someone could devote an entire cookbook to just chocolate chip cookies. Then as I scanned the table of contents, I began to get excited and couldn’t wait to delve into the actual recipes. I loved the way the author covered details that most of us never figure out, for example explaining how rolling versus using a scoop will result in different surface textures or how ingredients and technique impact your cookie. Where was this cookbook when I was wondering about those flat cookies?

And that’s before you get to the actual recipes most of which are anything but your grandmother’s chocolate chip cookies. There are plenty of cookie recipes, each rated for difficulty, but what made my heart beat faster were all of the non-cookie recipes. Some of my favorites are the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with salted caramel and the chocolate chip cookie dough fudge. (I reviewed an advance reader copy and all opinions are my own.). This is one book that you will definitely want on your cookbook shelf.

Who does not like cookies? I love them and this cookbook is all about them but just not cookies it's about cakes, pies, and muffins too. There is even a healthy(ish) section filled with vegan, GF, and Paleo recipes.

In total there is 229 recipes. One of my favorites is the no chocolate chip chocolate chip cookie recipe. I know it's weird but my husband loves chocolate chip cookie dough without the chocolate chips and this is the first time I have ever seen a recipe dedicated to that. I usually just make a chocolate chip cookie dough mix and leave the chocolate chips out for him.

Another great recipe is the one for just a single chocolate chip cookie for those times when you really want just one. But let's be honest, how often does that actually happen. Lol.

The front of the cookbook is filled with a ton of useful information. Baking is a science and if you don't do it just right then it does not come out right. I loved the section where the author put images of cookie scoop sizes with the respective cookie size it makes. So helpful!

Throughout the cookbook, you find "Katie's tips" which help with making the recipe you are using or providing suggestions. For example, crushing M&Ms to add texture to your cookie. Another one is how to bake on aluminum foil to make crispy edge cookies. Another great one is the difference between rolled oats and quick oats and how they can affect your cookie.

So many pictures, which is something I am always looking for in a cookbook. If I'm going to consider making it then I want to see what it looks like first. Sometimes the picture for the recipe came before it and other times it came after the recipe. I found this confusing at times and trying to figure out what recipe the picture went to.

4 out of 5 for me because of the picture confusion.

I must say that I love chocolate chip cookies….I mean who doesn’t? I have a recipe that was passed down from 8 generations ago. There is a recipe that is close but not exactly. I tried a few of the recipes just to see and people thought it was my recipe from my ancestor. I could not believe it. These recipes are easy to put together and I had all of the ingredients but I was prepared to make cc cookies. I also made ice cream with these recipes and oh my goodness. This is definitely a cookbook for those who love sweets. I am making a few more tomorrow.


5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley as well as the author and publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.

Who doesn't love a chocolate chip cookie?? This book had all sorts of variations on this simple classic cookie. I can not wait to try so many of them!

The tips section in the beginning of the hook is fantastic. It explains how different ingredients and techniques can affect the texture and taste of a simple chocolate chip cookie. That also helped me understand how making small adjustments could create different types of cookies. That comes in handy when you are baking for someone that prefers a chewier cookie to one that enjoys a crispy one.

The recipes are accompanied by wonderful photos. I always appreciate having a picture of what I am cooking. The instructions are well written and easy to follow.

While I didn't make all of the recipes before reviewing this, I did bookmark many of them to try in the future. I also picked one that I determined would be my test. I figured that it was easy enough to have a good tasting cookie using traditional ingredients, but my sister has a severe reaction when consuming any type of dairy product. We had a family dinner, so I decided to test out the vegan chocolate chip recipe. My thinking was that I could get feedback from several people while also giving her dessert that wouldn't cause her to go to the hospital. I was very pleasantly surprised by the result. The texture of the vegan cookie was excellent. They cooked beautifully. And most of all, they passed the taste test! I will definitely make them again. We could tell they didn't have butter in them, but they were very tasty despite that.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Harper Celebrate for the opportunity to receive an advanced copy of this book. I'm happy to leave an honest review.

Who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie? I am certainly a fan and also an avid chocolate chip cookie baker, so when I saw an entire cookbook dedicated to it, I knew I had to read it. Let me start by saying that calling this The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book is a bit of false advertising as this book goes much farther than just cookies. The first chapter does cover variations of chocolate chip cookies pretty extensively, but from there it goes into blondies, cakes, and more! I'm not mad at it though as the recipes look delicious.

As far as the writing in this book, the recipes are very straightforward and easy to follow. I didn't see anything that couldn't be completed by a beginner home cook. I could easily see this book being used around the holidays when family or friends get together to do holiday baking.

All in all, not the most revolutionary cookbook, but a solid entry into the dessert category.

THIS is SO Delicious!!! The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book is everyone's dream come true! The easy recipes and the images are amazing. Would make a great gift to a person that loves to bake

I received an arc for free in exchange for an honest review.

I solely got this book for the beginning which did not disappoint. It pinpointed why we do what we do for cookies and how it affects the cookie. I have tried out some of the cookie recipes and they are delicious. Family approved.

However. I just don’t see myself digging any further into this. Maybe some influencers or chocolate chip fanatics can see themselves making the further down recipes but I think I’ll stick to the originals.

Five stars, might buy a physical copy when it comes out for my daughter to have when she grows up.

I absolutely cannot wait to make every cookie in this book! I need a hard copy for my kitchen...

I was happy to see the cookie that started it all is not far from my chocolate chip cookie recipe.. which means I'm sure to think that everything else in this book will be right up my ally or taste buds :P

The best part about this cookbook is the advice and guidance that Katie gives in the beginning pages!

Iam addicted to cookies

. I love the multiple choice for chocolate chip cookie. The immediately tried these recipes and I highly recommend
Thanks Netgalley and author for ARC

Thanks NetGalley and Harper Celebrate for access to this yummy arc!!

5/5 stars!

These recipes all seem just so good! I can absolutely see this being a great seller during the holiday season.

A whole book devoted to the world's favorite cookie - what's not to love about this cookbook? I was impressed not only with the recipes but with the layout of the book itself and the mouth-watering photos of the baked goods - yes, I say baked goods because while the focus of this book is the humble chocolate chip cookie, there are also other chocolate chip-based recipes.

I've never had a recipe book that I wanted to go through and make every single recipe...until now.

I wonderful and very comprehensive guide to cookies. With clear explanations, it's one of the best that I've seen.

When I saw the opportunity to read this recipe book I jumped at the chance to request this. I love the multiple choice for chocolate chip cookie. The immediately tried these recipes and thoroughly enjoyed them, I did make some sugar amounts since I don’t like to sugary cookies. I highly recommend.

This book has so many different versions of chocolate chip cookies! I didn’t know there could be so many! Can’t wait to try them all!

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book Classic, Creative, and Must-Try Recipes for Every Kitchen by Katie Jacobs
This book starts out with table of contents where tips and tricks are included along with recipes divided into 5 different sections.
Love the different subchapters of the ingredients and what is important about them when it comes to baking, the chemical reactions, etc.

Summary of the cookie is included.
To the left are list of ingredients. Directions are listed to the right hand side of the page.

Lots of different methods I've been wanting to try and this would be the perfect book to help you along.
Book ends with appendix showing different levels of baking recipes: easy, moderate and difficult.
Another page shows favorite recipes by the season.
About the author is included at the end.
Received this review copy from Harper Celebrate via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book is the only cookie book any baker could ever need. This book is filled with so many delicious and interesting cookie recipes that redefine what a chocolate chip cookie is. And it turns out, the dessert can be even better than I thought.

There has to be a recipe in here for absolutely anyone to enjoy, including chocolate chip-less cookies, for those who don’t like chocolate. I’ll be saving so many of these recipes for me and my kiddos to try.

The photography was beautiful as well! Flipping through this book makes me desperately crave chocolate chip cookies, so if you love them as much as I do, I highly recommend this book.

I didn’t know anything about Katie Jacobs going in, but I do know a lot about chocolate chip cookies. Or at least, I thought I did. The whole beginning of the book is the science behind cookies, complete with pictures, and I was dying! LOVE. Then the recipes were brilliant and delicious and I am fully intending to get this one from the library if not buy it once it is released! A must read for cookie lovers.

This is an amazing chocolate chip cookie cookbook. I love all the recipes and would highly recommend.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book by Katie Jacobs is an amazing cookbook! Who could write 240 pages about chocolate chip cookies and it’s variations and not get boring?

Chocolate chip cookies are my all-time favorite. I will try many of those recipes for sure. It’s a very well written, photographed and detailed book about baking chocolate chip cookies in over 100 different ways. Who can ask for more?

This will become a bible in my cookbook bookcase!

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for this ARC.
