The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Cookies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had excellent experiences using this book. Although some of the recipes call for non-standard kitchen equipment (like Madeleine trays or silicon baking sheet liners) most of the recipes are both easy to use and very good to eat. I particularly liked the chocolate chip cookie recipe; it never fails to turn out chewy and delicious chocolate chip cookies.
Here are the rest of the recipes included:
Scotch Shortbread, Sugar Cookies, Lemon Bars, Anise Biscotti, Madeleines, Linzer Cookies, Oatmeal Cookies, Brownies, Blondies, Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches, Black & White Cookies, Nutty Butter Balls, Crisp Chocolate Bites, Ruby Jewel Cookies, Almond Sand Cookies, Neapolitan Cookies, Chocolate Espresso Bars, Almond Crisps Drizzled with Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cookies, Brown Sugar Tuiles, Cigarettes Russes, Pistachio-Spice Cookies, Double-Ginger Snaps, Lizzies, Hazelnut & Dried Cherry Biscotti, Butterscotch Coconut Cookies, Oatmeal, Date, & Walnut Spice Cookies, Coconut-Macademia Triangles, Spritz Cookies, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Moravian Molasses Cookies, Brandy Snaps, Bourbon Balls, Rugelach with Apricot and Pistachio Filling, and Hazelnut Meringues.
The book also has an excellent section of decorating tips and every recipe features a beautiful full-page color photo.

Breakfast (Williams-Sonoma Collection N.Y.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the 6th book in the William Sonoma Collection that I have purchased. Each book has been a triumph in terms of the recipes included in the book. The Breakfast edition was no exception! I have tried 4 of the recipes so far and have found them all easy to make and superb in taste. I have not found a recipe in any of this collection of cookbooks that I wouldn't make again! I'm very statisfied. I wish they would make more of them!
