An amazing cookbook! You might think, as I did initially that 100 cookies doesn't sound like very many7, but the range of cookies and the inventiveness in the recipes means this is one cookbook you NEED to have.
The recipes are clear, with great added variations. Almost every cookie has a picture and they look so good I even want to eat the ones I know i would hate. I was getting hungry just reading the book with no cookies in sight!

This is an amazing book, full of brilliant recipes, bright colourful pictures that tempt you in. I found this book to be one of the best cookie books I’ve ever seen, there aren’t any recipes I don’t want to try, it’s sectioned off and easy to navigate, written in plain English and no complicated instructions, great for a beginner or the experienced baker. This is one of the best baking books I’ve had in a very long time. Brilliant.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Divided into eight sections, Kieffer shows how to make 100 different types of cookies, brownies, and bars. Between the gorgeous photos, the variety of baking techniques, and a combination of classic and unique cookie recipes, this book has a little something for everyone.
I can't wait to try some of the recipes and techniques in 100 Cookies! I'm especially excited about Carrot Cake Bars with Meringue and Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies!

100 Cookies will definitely become a staple and go-to cookie cookbook for many households! This cookbook offers a variety of desserts, from the classic and easy, like Sugar Cookies and Shortbread, to the unique and adventurous, like Lavender Cookies and Grapefruit Cake Bars. The book is broken up into sections, like classics, fruit-inspired, bars/brownies, and "pan-banging cookies" - which I have never heard of before outside of macarons! I'm intrigued to try this type of cookie to see how it differs in taste and texture from regular cookies. A few favorite recipes that stuck out to me as automatic must tries are Olive Oil Sugar Cookies with a Blood Orange Glaze, Creme Brûlée Cheesecake Bars, and the Cinnamon Roll Blondies.

The stay-at-home advisory hasn't bothered me one bit - (which is a bit concerning in itself) yet I've realized that I need to stop baking. But do I really? Eclairs, cheesecakes, sponge cakes, scones, have been top of the list, yet cookies have not made an appearance yet and I was happy to receive this galley for review. I'm not a cookie fan aside from a fresh homemade chocolate chip cookie, but this is definitely the time to experiment. I really liked the layout of 100 Cookies, the photos, and personal story (although I'd prefer linear numbered recipe instructions). I especially the Fruitextravaganza and The Next Level sections. I'm excited to try quite a few of these recipes (olive oil sugar cookies, palmiers with apricot and cardamom, the lavender cookies with white chocolate creme fraiche glaze and more) that will hopefully make it into the care packages I put together.

100 cookies is a good book for your baking inspiration. The instructions are straightforward. She is using common ingredients, so it's not very difficult to follow the recipes. The book is divided into few chapters. So you not only get cookies recipes, but also other sweet things, like brownies or macarons. Making cookies is not that difficult, so I think if you enjoy baking this book is good for adding to your cookbook collections. The pictures are nice too. But I find personally the recipes require a lot of sugars, which you can reduce to your liking. But still, it's nice to see the recipes here, and you can use it as your starting point to make a healthier version.

Has a lot if cookie recipes in one books a great recipe book for anyone who loves To bake, or is just starting to find joy in baking going to try out the brownies recipes for sure.

This book is so much fun. I always stick to my usual cookies (chocolate chip and brownies) but this book gave me so many new ideas. I was most excited about a recipe for chocolate sugar cookies. I hadnt even thought of that!
I also really liked the music while baking section at the back. I thought that was a nice added touch. Definitely recommend.

Wow! This is a beautiful cookbook. With spending much more time at home, I have been baking a lot more, and this is the perfect cookie book! I particularly loved the beautiful photography and easy to follow recipes. The recipes include gram conversion, which i find incredibly helpful. Plus lots of chocolate chip cookie varieties. What more could I want?
Thank you to Chronicle Books and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. #100Cookies #NetGalley

Photos - 5/5 stars this book contains beautiful photos for each recipe. They do look delicious! The photos are a helpful for picking out what cookie the baker wants to bake.
Ease of ingredients - 4/5 stars. Most ingredients could be found at an average store. There may be a few under the chapter called “The Next Level” where the reader may need an ingredient from a bigger grocery store.
Variety - 5/5 There is a huge variety of cookies in here. All skill levels would appreciate this book.

100 Cookies really does seem to have something for everyone. From Classics to Brownies (are those considered cookies?), Fruity ones, more complicated ones (palmiers with apricot and cardamom!), and more, there are plenty of choices in this book, with beautiful layouts and pictures. An expert baker will enjoy trying them all, an amateur baker will probably make half of them and fantasize about when they will tackle the other half.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I don't mean to exaggerate, but this is may just be a completely perfect cookbook. Concise, clear instructions accompanied by absolutely gorgeous photographs. PLUS I'm on board with anything that draws from the age-old wisdom of Uncle Rico. I'll be getting one for myself, without a doubt!

Wow, this book gets 5 stars just for looking delicious. If you weren't already craving something sweet by looking at the cover of this book, you will be by the time you open it and look inside.
This isn't the type of book I normally pick up but I do enjoy baking, especially cookies so I thought this would be a fun out-of-my-comfort-zone read.
The book is just loaded with every kind of cookies imaginable. Classic cookies, brownies, blondies, fruity, next level, and a lot more.
The recipe instructions are very detailed which will be very helpful when actually baking (because once you read this, you will definitely want some cookies!)
Also, at the back of the book there is a very helpful conversion table. That will come in handy for certain!
So all in all, if you are someone who loves to bake, wants to learn how to bake, or just need some inspiration, this is the book for you!

This book has got beautiful pictures. It's an appealing book to browse through. The recipes look good and easy to follow. The ingredients are listed both in cups and grams. I like that there are recipes for soft and crispy cookies. I was surprised to see there are so many brownie and cheesecake bar recipes in this book, since to me that are not cookies... I was only looking for biscuits and cookies recipes so probably won't make half of them. That still leaves plenty of recipes to try out.

I got this book "100 Cookies" because I LOVE to bake (I even spent 10 weeks in Paris, France in the fall of 2009, to take a baking & pastry course) and I dream of someday having an online or maybe even brick & mortar gourmet/specialty cookie (and/or cupcake) bakery business. I love trying new recipes as well as variations on classic, and time-tested recipes. As such, I can not wait to try the 100+ recipes (not all at once, of course, but over time!) in this book. Because this book NOT only has recipes for the 100 cookies in its title, but it also offers several EXTRA recipes including pie dough base, puff pastry, marshmallows & marshmallow creme, no-churn ice cream, lemon curd, and many more!
Unfortunately, because of the current coronavirus lockdown, it has been very difficult (especially since I am unable to drive due to disabilities and the local public transportation services which is minimal to non-existent even when there is NO lockdown has been shut down completely and grocery delivery services like Instacart, Shipt & PrimeNow have NO delivery slots available) to find the ingredients for the recipes in this book. Even basic ingredients (like eggs, cream, sugar ) let alone more uncommon ingredients (like hazelnut flour) seem to be out of stock at all nearby stores.
However, since I don't want to put off reviewing this cookbook until this coronavirus situation ends (whenever or if it even ever does!) I'm going to just post this review, and then if/when the lockdown ends, and I can get the ingredients, I will test some of these recipes and then come back and update this review.
In the meantime, I am giving this book 3 stars, NOT because I don't think it doesn't deserve better (because it probably or even likely does!) but because like I said, I am unable to test out the recipes right now. and so I don't want to give it either a high rating OR a low rating, but instead something neutral.
That being said, the recipes look yummy, and I am looking forward to making some, many or even ALL of these dishes once the normal supply in the supermarkets & grocery stores is restored!
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I drooled just looking at this cover, let alone the delicious recipes inside! So far I’ve only made the Blondie recipe, and oh my gosh it was so tasty! I can’t wait to bake more, and keep an eye out for more of Sarah’s books!

This book has an incredible variety of baked treats, including many that I did not even know were considered 'cookies'! The recipe layout used wasn't my favourite (a bit cramped) but I did love and appreciate that every single recipe was accompanied by a picture! So so important when it comes to books about food. This would make a great gift for anyone with a sweet tooth that enjoys baking.

This book is a wonderful collection of all different kinds of cookies and the pictures in it are simply stunning!
The recipes are easy to follow and it offers a lot of tips and tricks for inexperienced bakers.
I particularly enjoyed the mix and match chapter and the chapter about brownies and blondies.
I also found it very convenient that measurements are in grams and cups and that the book offers a conversion table at the end.

A wonderful, expansive collection of cookie recipes, covering all sorts of classic and creative flavours and combinations. Each recipe is presented clearly, framed with visual references and the introduction has a lot of extra helpful notes.

If there's a thing I love as much as reading is baking, so when I saw this book available on Netgalley the first thing that caught my eye was that mouth watering cover. Then I noticed the title, "100 cookies", and I clicked that "Read now" bottom faster than I would eat a cookie (and I can assure you I eat them fast!).
The book begins with a short introduction about how the author discovered her love of cookies, giving a series of baking tips that will be extremely useful if it's your first time baking. The book is divided in several chapters, going from basic recipes (cookies, brownies...) to some other elevated recipes perfect for parties or when you wanna impress your family and friends. There's also an "extras" chapter, with some basic fillings recipes and a "pan-banging cookies" chapter, with a technique I had never seen and I'm looking forward to try. There are photos for almost every recipe and all of them have a short introduction with some facts or memories about it.
One thing that I'm most grateful for is that all the ingredients are measured not only in cups, tablespoons, etc. but also in grams, making it so much easier for us european bakers. I hate when there're only american measurements in the recipe and I have to convert every single ingredient! There's also a conversion table at the end and some music to bake to (nice touch!). All the recipes have a step by step easy enough for even the most unexperienced bakers to follow.
The only problem I've encountered with this book is that I don't know which recipe try first!
