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.
Recipe tried from cookbook:
Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chips
1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated
sugar, and brown sugar. Beat eggs and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Gradually stir in flour mixture. Stir in milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet
chocolate chips, white chips, and nuts. Drop by level 1/4-cupfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or
until light golden brown. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
