This is THE book about everything cookies baking. From classical recipes to various innovative combinations - one of which may include rhubarb - this collection of recipes brings cookies to the table and put your baker skills at work.
The recipes have various level of complexity and the list of ingredients differs. Besides the variety of recipes, what I particularly liked about this book is the careful way of explaining the various directions, which makes the book also a good reference for anyone looking to improve his or her food writing skills.
The photos are relatively simple but tempting enough to try one or another recipe.

I love this book and made several of the pan banging cookies. They are huge and the best cookies I've ever had.

Okay, coming clean - I requested Sarah Kieffer’s <i>100 Cookies: The Baking Book For Every Kitchen</i> because my son loves to bake and I love to eat whatever baked goods are coming out of my kitchen!

I’d say he’s a medium level baker, a big step above a beginner, but far from a pro and this cookbook is perfect for him. The recipes are complex enough that the results truly look and taste like they came from a bakery, but simple enough that I have had most of the ingredients on hand.

So far he’s made the Bourbon Sablés with Chocolate and the Blondies. Both were incredible and I can’t wait to see what he makes next!

This is the first book I’m buying when it’s released on October 20, 2020. What a fantastic present this one will make for anyone who loves to bake (and those of us who love to eat!).

THIS. BOOK.
This is the book I will give to my daughter. And son. They will both love it.
But what they will especially love will be the delicious cookies they will make from it.

The book covers all the classic cookies that you enjoyed as a child (ok, as a grown-up, too), ever purchased at a bake sale, or brought home from the cookie exchange and it gives you the recipes for them. And then it gives you more ... MUCH more.

After an introductory chapter introducing the author, the baking essentials, and ingredients, the book is divided into sections. The first section covers the classic cookie recipes. I immediately made the chocolate chip cookie recipe and they were a hit! The remaining sections of the book cover different kinds of brownies, blondies, fruit-based cookies, international classics, and next level, creative, and "artisan-style" confections. If cookies aren't enough, there are also recipes for homemade marshmallow fluff, ice cream, and lemon curd. And finally, the author includes a music guide to enjoy while baking with links to playlists on Spotify and Apple music. So while you are trying your hand at making the fabulous olive oil sugar cookies with blood orange glace, you can have your own sound track to groove along with.

With this book, you can be the cookie queen. Or king. Your choice.


Most definitely five stars!

Sadly I couldn’t download this book, which was a real shame as I was looking forward to baking some yummy cookies. I tried several ways but nothing worked.
I’m giving it 3 stars as I don’t think 1 is appropriate as it’s not the author’s fault.

What more can you ask for from a recipe book with biscuits, cookies, brownies, bars and more? From basic to more intricate, this can be your go-to recipe book for sweet goodies.

I need to thank to the publisher for this book because I loved it.
Being in lockdown it really helped to have some fun in the kitchen with the children and try new recipes every other day.
I’m definitely recommending this book to all my friends

I own about half a dozen cookie books, which are mostly tried and true ones from the late 1990s; however, I’m always interested in reading new cookie books because I enjoy reading about the introduction of newly available ingredients and the revamped approaches to old classics. I almost always decide against adding these new books to my collection because the new recipes are too complex, the ingredients are too esoteric, and/or the innovation is lacking. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from eagerly anticipating gorging on the food porn of a new cookie book.

This cookbook definitely was food porn. Almost every cookie recipe was accompanied by a gorgeously styled full color photograph.

The recipes themselves were clearly written and featured common ingredients. The equipment required was no more esoteric than a kitchen stand mixer. Most recipes required saucepans and bowls of various sizes, as well as whisks and spatulas.

Unfortunately, the cookie recipes were not as varied as the title made them seem. The first forty or so recipes were for classic cookies and bar cookies. Ten or so pan-banging recipes seemed to be variations of recipes from the first chapter. Last ten or so cookie recipes were for filled versions of cookies that had appeared in earlier sections.

Because this is such a beautiful yet simple cookbook, I would definitely consider adding this to my collection - even if it means culling my current collection to make room.

I received this book as a digital advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I have yet to prepare any recipes from this book, but if I do, I will either update my blog or update this review with the results.

This was so much fun! My son and I so enjoyed making many of these cookies — and what better time for baking than now! Thanks so much for the ARC!

When I saw a cookie cookbook on NetGalley, I requested it immediately.
I loved the layout. It's separated into 8 sections, by type and difficulty.
It starts with discussing tools and ingredients and moves into types with great instructions and beautiful pictures.
The recipes range from everyday to special occasion ones that anyone would be proud to bring to a party.
I made a few with my granddaughters and they approved them and are requesting another session.
This would be a great addition to any baking collection.

This was amazing. I love cooking, and when I saw this book I had to have it. It has a lot of different recipes to try, and it also gave a good introduction as to what to use. That first part was very informative. I am very exited to go and make some of these cookies now!

Brilliant and tasty describes this book. Loved the recipes and so did the family.
Great to try different things. Recommended

I'm very thankful to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me an ARC of this book. The review below is entirely my own opinion:

My family and I love, love, LOVE Sarah Kieffer's OG recipe for Pan-Banging Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are bomb diggity delicious! And getting the ARC couldn't have come at a better time! During this covid19 lockdown, I've baked numerous recipes since I got the ARC for the cookbook. I've made the Pan-Banging (P-B) Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies, the P-B Triple Chocolate Cookies, and the P-B Peanut Butter Cookies. I've also baked a couple of her bars, namely the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Bars and Espresso Cheesecake Bars. All of the recipes I've made, ALL OF THEM, are über, satisfyingly yummmmmmmy. My husband and kid, who, unlike myself, are not fond of sweets at all, enjoyed them so much that the cookies/bars disappeared VERY quickly.

We liked everything I've baked from it so much that I've already pre-ordered a copy. I can't wait to bake more treats from this cookbook for my family!

I  received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

Cooooookiesss! Who doesnt love cookies? Easy recipes I can't wait to try. Delicious.

100 Cookies by Sarah Kieffer is a great book, full of wonderful recipes and much more. 100 Cookies includes not only recipes, but also helpful suggestions to get the right texture you want. The drool making recipes are easy to follow, and I have already picked out a few recipes to try. If you enjoy baking cookies, bars, and brownies as much as I do, than I highly recommend this wonderful book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Wow wow wow! This book is amazing. So many recipes and much more than just cookies. I love that there are a wide range of recipes, from simple well known sweet treats, to fun new twists on old favorites, and even out of the box ideas, I am looking at you Toasted Sesame Cookies. Each recipe is easy to read, the pictures are beautiful, and there are so many tips and tricks to use while making cookies or just cooking in general. As both a foodie and a music lover I was thrilled with the playlist included. I cannot wait to try some of these recipes and also get my hands on a hardcopy of this book once it goes on sale!

Who doesn't love cookies?!
I grew up baking with my mom, so I know how special certain cookbooks are, especially when baking cookies lead to sweet memories with family and friends. I believe this cookbook will create memories like that. It will find a special place in the hearts of families and aspiring bakers of every ability level.

Sarah's cookbook is a beautiful collection of cookies of every kind and for every occasion. From her kid's favourite simple chocolate chip cookies to the more eloquent lavender cookies, perfect for an afternoon high tea.

Recipes are neatly organized by category with an ingredient list, tips from Sarah to make your cookies taste even better, and easy step-by-step instructions.

My list of cookies to try (and to bake on the regular) is getting larger, and my 10 year old daughter is perhaps more excited by the pages in this book and the finished product then I imagined. I highly recommend this cookbook for the beginner and for the more advanced baker. There is something for everyone.

Wow! Sooooo many cookie recipes. I honestly haven’t baked all of the recipes yet but the photos look fantastic. This book is written by Sarah Kieffer of the Vanilla Bean Baking Blog! I tried the Olive Oil sugar cookies which turned out great!

This is such a cute recipe book of twists on old classics and inventive new cookie creations. I love that Sarah offers so many different types of cookie and desserts recipes for all types of bakers: from the beginner to the expert wanting to learn more. Even her novel pan banging techniques worked so well that I definitely plan on using it in my future cookie endeavors. I highly recommend this book to any baker looking for both an update on traditional cookies and well as unique new desserts!

Thank you to NetGalley for a free review copy of 100 Cookies. I have been (home) baking for about 2 years now and am always looking for great new cookbooks. I was pleasantly surprised by this book for the different varieties of some of the classic bakes. For example there are at least 4 varieties of the chocolate chip cookie, and SO MANY brownie and blondie varieties. In addition to the 100 cookie/brownie recipes this book includes about 15 extra recipes for things such as rough puff pastry, caramel and lemon curd, just to name a few. I have already made notes of about 30 treats I want to make immediately, but I know I'll need to pace myself. However, in the interest of giving this book a full review, I decided to jump in and make the ginger cookies as well as the oatmeal cookies right away, and I am happy to report that I love the way they came out! The author does a great job in the beginning of the book to explain how to use the book, how to measure ingredients, and what ingredients will work best. I think this book will appeal to all levels of bakers. And a bonus that you may not know is that Sarah Kieffer invented the "pan-banging chocolate chip cookies" that has become an internet sensation. She provides her tips and tricks for this method along with a variety of recipes to make. I am pleased that this book will be released in August 2020 because I can see myself buying multiple copies of this book as gifts for my friends and family this holiday season. All in all a great experience with this book and I cannot wait to make more delicious goodies.
