Summary: Fabulously Different Cookies
Review: I make between 100 and 150 cookies each week for the S.C. House of Representatives of which my husband is a member. This is my fifth year of making the cookies and I never repeat a recipe, so I'm always on the lookout for good cookie recipes. I made the Wild Walnut Wheels this week and they were a huge hit. I was amazed at how good the Kamikaze cookies were - who ever heard of a lime cookie? This is the first cookie cookbook I have owned that truly has some new and different recipes. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!

Summary: A Unique Guide
Review: The Sophisticated Cookie does an excellent job with a tricky subject: cooking with booze. While it is perhaps a fallacy that "all the alcohol bakes out;" at least most of it does, and we are frequently left with flavor that is, well, sophisticated. You might find your liquor cabinet woefully understocked for some of these delicacies; on the other hand, you might be inspired to finally reach for some of those neglected aperitifs you've been so carefully sheltering all these years. Thanks, Jeanne Benedict, for raising the humble cookie to its rightful place in the pantheon of ciusine.Food writer Elliot Essman's other reviews and food articles are available at www.stylegourmet.com

Summary: Lots of good ideas for innovative cookie treats
Review: This is a good collection of recipes using spirits in unusual ways. Some of the directions may be a little sketchy, but the ideas are "stimulating" and can be extrapolated to creations not suggested here. I would like to see a book with recipes for other baked goods using liquors and liqueurs.

Summary: Fabulously Different Cookies
Review: What a fabulous concept! Taking old favorite cookie recipes and jazzing them up with liquors and liquers is just the thing to enliven a goodie basket or gift box. This entertaining and easy-to-follow cookbook is filled with amusing anecdotes and very specific instructions and tips. This book and a tray of cookies...the perfect holiday gift!
