The book jacket states "Written in an easy-to-follow, conversational tone, the 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes cookbook contains recipes so simple that bakers of all
levels will enjoy making cookie after delectable cookie." And while I am not sure why "converational tone" was included as a description,
I have to agree with the "easy-to-follow" and "simple" makeup of the recipes.
101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes gets right down to the task at hand...baking cookies.
There are no extras added to this cookbook, just a solid variety of cookie recipes. The recipes are broken down into five categories; Bar Cookies, Drop Cookies, No-Bake Cookies (great for kids to try), Rolled Cookies and Shaped Cookies.
With 101 recipes, ranging from the familiar to the unique, to choose from, you are sure to find something that strikes your fancy. Although pictures for
some, if not all, of the recipes would have been appreciated by this baker, this cookbook is a kitchen keeper.

Children's meals have to be easy, delicious and nutritious. Getting kids to eat vegetables is a major task.
Finding a way to get vegetables into the mouths of kids is easy if they are part of the fun. Creating ways to
get kids to help with the preparation and the cooking of kids' recipes is part of the fun.
