Title: Love this book
Review: I gave a daughter allergic to soy and I haven't found a store version of Oreos or sandwich cookies without soy so this book gave us the answer. My 11 yr old made cookies without much supervision using the cookbook which were gone quickly and already picked out the next creation. Love this book!!

Title: A winner of a cookbook!
Review: Ellen Jackson has done it again--created recipes that are easy-to-follow and produce fabulous results. I LOVE this cookbook, having made multiple batches of her recipes. Ellen is a consummate professional and my go-to baker and chef. I bake cookies for a group of fellow car guy friends--Ellen's are their favorites!

Title: OK Cookie Recipe Book, but it Lacks A Lot
Review: I think every adult should have a cookbook that shows you how to make the basic cookies that you grew up with. I wanted to love this book, but I don't. My biggest pet peeve with it is the lack of photos. Yes, there are some. Some. My philosophy is that if you're going to publish a cookbook, you need to include a photograph of EVERY recipe in the book. I don't care what it is, add a photo. This not only shows the cook how the final product should look, but when you're flipping through the cookbook trying to decide what to make, each photo says, "Pick me! Pick me!" Photoless recipes get passed over because there's nothing there to stimulate your senses.My second pet peeve with this cookbook is the layout. Recipes run over onto the next page. That's fine when the recipe is spread on a left and a right page, but when you have to flip the page to see the backside, that's not cool. What cook wants to stand in the kitchen while making a recipe, flipping pages back and forth? That's a huge no-no. And there's enough white space on each page (because of the lack of photos) where the recipes could all have been condensed into a single left and right page spread.The recipes all sound great, though, and I like that it takes some (some, not all) cookie recipes from my childhood and offers more adult or party versions. For example, instead of just a recipe for Snickerdoodles, there are a few varieties of Snickerdoodles to please the adult crowd. That said, I think there could have been more "classic cookie" recipes included in this book. It feels a little bareboned.The concept of this book is great, but the execution is flawed.

Title: Might become my go-to cookie cookbook
Review: I love baking cookies and I was excited to receive Ellen Jackson's book entitled "Classic Cookies with Modern Twists."The book is organized into cookie types - scooped, sliced, sandwiched, rolled, spread-in-pan and Holiday.The book starts with the typical cookbook basics - notes on ingredients and measurements.To review, I decided to make some representative cookies from different categories.I was torn between the many good sounding and looking recipes in the scooped category.But I settled in on a classic: Oatmeal cookies.Ellen Jackson titled the book "Classic Cookies with Modern Twists" because there is a short section of additions/substitutions after each classic recipe on how to give the cookie a so-called modern twist. For the oatmeal cookies I tried the dried cherry-walnut twist. The result was a very tasty, toothsome cookie.Next I tried the chocolate vanilla bean pinwheels. They are harder to make and take more time but the result is impressive. I didn't try a twist on these because I never made any like this before and wasn't feeling more adventurous.For sandwiched I tried the Hazlenut-Mocha Cream Cookies. These were not hard to make; I already had a star cookie cutter so I made them look like the picture (which isn't required).These are really good and I will be making more.That's all I did for now just to get a feel for the book.The book features full color photographs of some but not all cookies.I would have liked to see color photos of all the cookies, even if it is in a montage.I believe this will become a go-to book for me. There are so many delicious recipes that I have yet to try.The recipes are clearly written and easy to follow.One thing that I wasn't used to seeing is the inclusion of rice flour in many of the recipes. As someone who tried (and lost a lot of weight on) a gluten-free diet, I am familiar with rice flour and it's ability to make a light, airy product. Too much can also lead to a dry result but very little is used in these cookies.Overall I am very happy with this book and I would recommend it.

Title: Great. ANOTHER BOOK that doesnât give WEIGHTS
Review: The recipes look terrific but, unless Iâve missed it, there is no way of telling what she means by â1 cup of flourâ. Is it the scoop and level method? Is it the spoon into the cup method? If youâve been around youâll know that ATK, Stewart, Kimball, others each have their cup method and the weights can VARY. What is so hard about just letting us know what you mean by 1 cup? I guess Iâll just try 120 grams, aka 4.25 ounces as that is what most King Arthur recipes describe. Which is slightly different from Cookâs Illustrated, Martha Stewart, and the rest.But seriously, how hard would it be to add weights?The first recipe I try is the oatmeal cookie recipe. But I look at the amount of salt and reduce by half. That was a lot of sea salt, which is pretty strong. So, half.
