Who doesn’t love a delicious home-baked cookie? What’s more, who knows more about which cookies taste great and are surefire hits with kids than a mother of two who just happens to be a former professional pastry chef? In Mom’s Big Book of Cookies, Lauren Chattman offers 200 recipes for cookies that kids will eagerly devour. And all of the cookies have been taste-tested and approved by her own children and their friends and schoolmates. With recipes that are quick, easy, and feature deliciously kid-friendly flavors, this book is the perfect resource for parents faced with any number of occasions, such as birthday parties, school bake sales, or bad-weather days when everyone is stuck in the house. There are chapters on the “holy trinity” of cookies—chocolate chip, oatmeal, and peanut butter; slice-and-bake cookies; cookies made with candy; sandwich cookies; bar cookies; heirloom cookies; “desperation cookies” to save the day when the cupboards seem bare; holiday cookies; rainy-day and snow-day cookies; and cookie mixes to give as gifts.
Written by a mom for moms and featuring gorgeous 4-color photography and a user-friendly lay-flat wire-o binding, Mom’s Big Book of Cookies also features lots of useful tips to ensure cookie-baking success and suggests ways in which kids can help in the cookie-making process. With this book, any mom is sure to find recipes for her family that will be gobbled up from lunch boxes, at baseball practices, and as wholesome after-dinner treats.
