Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In her seventh dessert book, Heatter thoroughly updates her James Beard Award-winning 1977 book on cookies (all but one recipe, that for Positively-the-Absolutely-Best-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie, are new). Blending a breezy prose style with precise, clearly sequenced instructions and a boundless respect for her topic, she offers a rounded collection for new bakers and experienced cookie hands. A chapter on techniques and equipment is followed by recipes arranged generally by the methods of shaping cookies, e.g., bar cookies and rolling-pin cookies. Recipes for twice-baked biscotti include meta-healthy Multigrain and Seed Biscotti and three featuring chocolate (one using a candy bar). Among ice-box cookies are dainty Pennies from Heaven, sandwiched with butter cream; drop cookies include a variety of fruit- and nut-loaded hermits and Skinny Peanut Wafers, beloved by Heatter's personal trainer. Recipes for rolled and cut cookies (Pfeffernusse; Espresso Chocolate Shortbread) and those shaped by hand or with a pastry bag or cookie press (Sweet Pretzels; Bittersweet Chocolate Macaroons) suggest holiday fare. Heatter drops names along with rounded teaspoons of dough: Wolfgang Puck eats her cookies, and so does Gianni Versace. But she remains as exacting as the most diligent home-ec teacher when it comes to the baking process, even to packaging instructions. Like her subject, this is an irresistible offering.

From Library Journal

The Queen of Desserts is back, with lots of recipes for biscotti, drop coookies, icebox cookies, bar cookies, zweiback, and more?even a few crackers and some desserts she couldn't resist including. Heatter's first Book of Great Cookies, published almost 20 years ago, became a classic but is now out of print. This is her seventh cookbook, and she's still passionate about cookies and baking. Once again, she presents recipes written with directness and attention to detail. There are all sorts of cookies here, both fancy and homey, and many are very easy to bake. An essential purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better even than promised.

This book was listed as Used: Like New or Used: Very Good, I can't honestly recall. What I know is that the condition should have been "Used: Better Than New". How can something be better than new? When it was used gently by someone who cared about the content. There were several recipes that received brief reviews, and there were even some production tips left behind, e.g. "Soak Overnight". So I offer my thanks to both the notetaker and the purveyor. Thanks.
P.S. To those who sell non-fiction, this sort of "defect" may be seen as valuable to the users. YMMV

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a book of great cookies!
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019

Delightful, interesting, & helpful writing style for recipes. This book contains many bake-worthy cookies & bars. With a hundred or two miscellaneous cookbooks on my shelves, this is the greatest compilation of cookie/bar recipes in one book that I have.
The only photos are on the cover. These recipes are not so complex that assembly/mixing photos are necessary, but I do like photos of the finished product. Nonetheless, this is an absolutely great cookie book. It belongs on the shelf of every mother in America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable and absolutely fabulous recipes.
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015

I have been baking for many, many years, many years, and have a room full of cookbooks. Until I found Maida Heather in the last few years, I didn't really know how to bake. She is a fantastic teacher with many "tricks" that I'd never even heard or thought of. Any book by her is an investment that you will never regret. I would suggest giving her books as gifts to your baking friends. They will be eternally in your debt - plus you'll have amazing desserts!! I have not made one recipe of Heather's that hasn't been received with 100 satisfaction, and I bake daily. Her books may be getting scarce, so I would stock up while you can.

This is by far the best cookie cook book I've ever owned. Maida Heatter has other cookie books with similar titles, but they shouldn't be confused with this one. This one is the best. It is out of print, but I have purchased several whenever I find them to give to friends. I especially love her biscotti recipes. I get rave reviews whenever I make them and am often asked to do so. If you can find a copy of this book, and you like to bake cookies, don't hesitate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two of my favorite cookies are in the book
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

Two of my favorite cookies are in this book, "Palm Beach Brownies with Chocolate Covered Mints" and "Palm Beach Biscotti". Her recipes are very detailed and easy to follow, she doesn't leave anything to chance. Having these two recipes is well worth the price for the book. Great gift for a new cook.
