I originally bought this book as a gift for my mother. I thought she would enjoy it's charm and it's old fashion recipes. then before christmas I went over to write down a few recipes to bake for christmas. I could have been there for days! they all looked simple and good so I bought myself a copy also. after trying several of the recipes I have found that they are mostly simple and delicious. It seems that no matter what combination of ingredients I have in the house when the mood hits I can usually find a recipe to make. Great book ! and my kids love the pictures ,and the cookies too of course!

My Grandmother had this cooky cookbook when I was growing up and I have eagerly anticipated a reproduction of this cookbook. I cannot tell you how estatic I was to find it! This book has EVERY recipe you could hope. I'm glad this is a reproduction and not a "updated" version of this classic cooky cookbook. What makes this book absolutely charming is the whimsical pictures and drawings throughout the recipes, reminding us of a wonderful era. Thank you to the publishers for choosing to reproduce this book!!!

My mother has made almost EVERY recipe in this book. She has a tattered 1963 copy that has almost 1/2 it's pages sitting loose inside the covers. This is the ONLY cooky book that I use! I was so thrilled to see that it's out in the stores again. I have purchased over one dozen copies for my coworkers for Christmas. It's so nice to have a cooky book that shows pictures of all the cookie recipes. The toffee bars, spritz, thumbprints, cut outs, gingerbread men, gingersnaps, are all excellent. I haven't found a bad recipe yet. It's fun to look at the old pictures with the soda bottles, and milk bottles. Going back to a time and place when times were more simple and innocence was bliss. I highly recommend this book!!

I purchased this book for myself at least 30 years ago. Over the years my daughter and I have made many of the recipes in the book. We have our favourites - like the orange drop cookies - but have made many of the others as well. It's one of those books that stand the test of time. So now I've purchased another one for my daughter so she can continue to make the recipes with her daughter.

I found this book cool. I wanted different cookies to make but I was a little disappointed that it was basically the same cookies we make today. The book itself is nice and I like that they give you a little history of how some cookies came to be.

my very favorite cookbook. mine is worn out from almost 40 years of use. i've probably made half the recipes in it.

I can't tell you the hours I spent pouring over the pages in this book every year at Christmas time. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of baking cookies from this book with my Mom. My Dad and I are partial to the cream wafers and my aunt Susan says it just wouldn't be Christmas without the Brownie Drops! Austrian Cream cookies are easy and wonderful! I could go on but I won't....I think I need to go make a batch right now! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

My mom gave me her copy of Betty Crocker's Cooky Book when I got married. The book is literally falling apart -- the back cover is no longer attached, but still sits in the bookshelf next to the rest of the book.

This would make a wonderful gift for anyone who likes to bake. It's full of great recipes, some of which I've made so many times that I know them by heart.

If you like to bake cookies, buy this book. You won't be disappointed!

I learned to bake cookies with this cook book, easy to follow picture cook book with the best classic recipes. I still use it to this day.

I grew up with this book and have my mother's original copy. It is completely falling apart from her use and mine. I have several other cookie cookbooks and they do not even come close.

The Christmas selection, in particular, is quite good. The candy cane cookies are always a big hit with everyone I make them for. They are so easy, yet everyone is so fascinated with them.

The main recipe I grew up with from this book is Snickerdoodles. Until recently I couldn't even find anyone outside my family who knew what they were...the most delicious cookie known to man and this recipe makes the perfect snickerdoodle. You'll never want to have store bought again after you make them.

Actually, if you make any of these recipes you'll have a hard time going back to Oreos and Pepperidge Farms. :-)
