I recently received a book writeen by Krystina Castella called Crazy About Cookies. It has come a perfect time of year, if only I could get motivated (or healthy enough) to do some Christmas baking! This cookbook is filled with over 350 cookie ideas, containing six chapters called Cookies in the Know, Everyday Cookies, Party Cookies, Occasion Cookies, Holiday Cookies and Christmas Cookies.
There are vegan recipes, sugar free recipes, low fat and gluten free ones–a cookie for everyone!
The first chapter, “Cookies in the Know”, provides the reader with many tips, techniques and information about baking cookies including different tools to use and various types of ingredients. Each chapter follow that is subdivided into types of cookies from breakfast cookies to toddler cookies and many, many more.
I really enjoy looking at all of the photographs in this recipe book. I find pictures helpful to see what a recipe is supposed to turn out like.
I’m going to try out the Eggnog Cookies this holiday! If those aren’t festive, I don’t know what is!
Krystina was even on Martha Stewart’s “Living Today” live radio blog where she talks about methods for mailing cookies, tips for making shortbread and her secret for making secret waffle cookies.
Check out the Crazy About Cookies website.
