100 Cookies by Sarah Kieffer

100 COOKIES by Sarah Kieffer is a wonderful cookbook which anyone would be happy to own and consult. Kieffer subtitled her collection “The Baking Book for Every Kitchen, with Classic Cookies, Novel Treats, Brownies, Bars, and More” and it really delivers with beautiful pictures (a must for me with cookbooks!), simple, straightforward directions and recipes for beginner to professional.  The only element which I wish was included is nutritional information (although this is all about cookies, after all). Clearly, there are many favorites (chocolate chip or shortbread) and innovations (like Lavender Cookies) from which to choose! 100 COOKIES is nominated for the GoodReads Choice Awards this year (winner announcements December 8) which is great to see since those cookbooks are often designed for more accomplished and sophisticated chefs. A fabulous family present to keep everyone baking together!
