This is the most inspirational cookbook I have purchased in years. I've read through it and tried several recipes, and now many of my favorite cookie recipes seem boring and have been displaced by cookies from this book. It's been along time since I've had so much fun in the kitchen. These cookie are standouts, innovative, truly special. Many of the recipes do contain unusual ingredients. Some you'd be able to find at a regular grocery store (e.g., beer nuts, smoked almonds), and most you'd find at a high end grocery store (e.g., smoked sea salt). I did have to order some ingredients, but they've been new discoveries, and I've had a blast experimenting with (and consuming) the likes of smoked sugar, raspberry beer (lambic), and gianduja. Special ingredients make special cookies. My favorites so far are the smoked chocolate sables and PB&J thumbprints. The book inspired me to create my own cookie, which has been a smash success. Some of the recipes are quite simple, others take quite a lot of time. For some of us, the time is enjoyable - that's why it's called cookie LOVE. But whether or not you love the process, you'll love the cookies. Thank you Mindy Segal! -Evergreen
I love this cookbook so much. The recipes I've made so far are all perfect. The best brownie recipe I've ever made in my life is her Barter Brownies. I've made them so many times - they always turn out incredible. Last time we made them, we mixed in crushed peppermint candy canes into the crunchy topping and they were out of this world. My husband won't let me try any other brownie recipe ever again. He says we've found the best - why bother? And a colleague told me the brown butter citrus shortbread are the best shortbread she's ever had. And I'm obsessed with the snickerdoodles - and I usually don't like snickerdoodles! I was a little worried about reviews saying the ingredients are pricey or hard to find, but so far what I've made has been worth it. I have the Kindle version and the navigation is good - all recipes listed/linked to from the side bar. Incredible cookbook! -Sarah L.
Have not been able to make all the cookies yet but the few that I have made are the most amazing cookies i have ever had. The attention to detail in not only the ingredients, but also the instructions makes it almost impossible to not make amazing cookies. This book covers everything from drop cookies, to tea biscuits. There is something in there for everyone. -Alex B.
