Parragon Book Buddy – Make Bake Cookies, the Recipe Book

If you are reading my blog regularly you know that we are cookbook crazy. There are never too many cookbooks. Some of them are better than others, some of them are used much more often than others but they can all bring something to the table 😉

I have a new cookbook – Make Bake Cookies, The Recipe Book and I totally adore it. I remember when the post man brought it to me, after opening the parcel I immediately had to send them a thank you email stating “this must be the most beautiful cookbook we own”. It really is that pretty.

Sporting a hard cover with pages shaped like cookies marking each chapter. The Make Bake Cookies, The Recipe Book contains five chapters + an introduction. Surprisingly the introduction is very useful; you can find in there all you need to know about the basics, your star ingredients, essential equipment, icing, piping, storage and my favourite parts – the secret to success and baked to perfection.

Each of the five chapters covers a different type of cookie. So we have:

• Cookie jar favourites
• Soft & chewy
• Crisp & crumbly
• Fun & frosted

And last but not least

• Something a bit special

Make Bake Cookies, The Recipe Book is printed on wipe clean shiny paper. Every single recipe has a clear image and clear instructions on how to achieve the final look. This is the main reason why I am so drawn into this book. For me when cooking / baking pictures are very important, especially when I am making something for the first time. It is nice to have something to aim for and later on compare it to. I have studied this book many times now and I have picked my favourite recipe: button cookies.

The recipe seems very easy and I love the look of the finished cookies. As soon as we get some food colouring I will attempt to make them.

My second pick from the book are peanut butter cookies. Again something quick and easy… I have no excuse not to bake them as all ingredients are already present in the house, so… I will get baking and share with you my experience very shortly.

If you think that Make Bake Cookies, The Recipe Book might be perfect for you, you can purchase it from Amazon. It retails at £14.00 but it is currently on sale and its current price is down to £9.18.

Happy baking!
