Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this advance copy.

This is an amazing cookbook! There are so many recipes I'm looking forward to trying, especially the sugar cookie variations (chocolate and brown sugar).

I will be purchasing this cookbook for my personal collection.

I’m so very sorry for asking for this book. I didn’t realize this was in PDF form & I have a kindle paper white which doesn’t allow me to download the book to it for me to read. I love cooking & baking books but unfortunately I can’t see this book or read/ review it :(
Again, sorry for having requested this but REALLY wish I could bake some of the yummy looking cookies on the cover
Thank you

I probably have a cookbook problem. I love them, I will admit some are more useful then others. This one goes on my useful shelf. In fact I will probably buy a hard copy for myself and a few as gifts. This book is comparable to my Betty Crocker complete baking guide I received about 15 years ago. This book covers the cookie base and the recipes we tried have been oh so very good. Ingredients that anyone would have in their pantry and the instructions are easy to understand. The wide verity of desserts makes my heart sing. The pictures are absolutely stunning. I can not rave enough about this book. There are cookies in there I have never even heard of that I have to try now, like Neapolitan cookie. I can't wait to the next time I need to bring something to a potluck I am busting recipes out of this book.

I am not the world's best baker, but I do okay. These treats MAKE me want to better my baking skills. I must admit, I came in expecting only to find Cookie recipes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see such a variety of treats to make. I look forward to getting in the kitchen and baking some goodies (in moderation, of course).

I now understand why people read cookbooks for fun, but I do after reading this one. This book was so sweet, and the little blurbs before each recipe were the perfect length.

I’m super excited to try some of these recipes!

Okay, who doesn’t love all things cookies and bars? They all look delicious and I can out wait to try them. The author put a lot of hard work into making this so beautiful.

Thank you NetGalley and author Sarah Kieffer!

As a culinary educator, I focus more on the beginning pieces than the actual quality of the recipes. When I teach about baking and specifically cookies, I like to focus on the purpose of ingredients and how altering them will affect the texture, taste, etc. This cookbook does go into those details as well as different equipment that can be used when baking cookies, but I found that I did not like the organization of that information. It was all jumbled together and if I purchased this cookbook for cookie recipes, I would skip the important information because it doesn't look appealing to read.

I did try one of the recipes - Oatmeal Cookies. I wasn't a huge fan of the layout of the recipes - I don't like directions in paragraph format because it's easy to miss a step or lose your place. The quality of the cookies was good. Not out of this world - but good.

Cookie! Cookie! Cookie! Cookie Monster says it best.
Cookies and more cookies. Can you ever have too many?
With this cookbook you can bake a variety of cookies.
Yummy 😋 fun!!!

This book was provided to me by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’m in cookie heaven! This book is exactly what I needed: colourful, fun and full of close ups of cookies. There’s a full range of classic cookies recipes plus so many creative combinations to try out. Banana Poppy Seed Cookies! Sm’ores Cookies! Snickerdoodle Cookies with Pumpkin Buttercream! I was hungry after reading just the contents page. Randomly there’s a section on brownies and blondies – are they considered cookies in the US?

After much indecision on what to bake first, I tried the Raspberry Rye cookies and they were absolutely delicious. The recipe was super easy to follow and I’d never thought about using rye flour in cookies. Genius! Thanks to the author for including metric measurements and cooking temperatures. I loved the music playlists at the back and all the tips for getting the perfect cookie. Who knew cookie trays need to be banged on a surface to make them chewy?!

I will definitely be buying a physical copy of this book when it comes out.

This was a great cookbook with both simple recipes and next-level master baking. Whether I will ever be brave enough to attempt macarons is still doubtful, but there are definitely recipes from Sarah Kieffer I will be attempting. I loved reading about her tap theory to create a crunchy outside, a moist inside and a lovely ring effect on top. It's something I'd never considered but will try to recreate in my next baking attempts.

The photos for each recipe are stunning and Kieffer's instructions are straightforward and clear. I also really appreciated how she gave the measurements in both cups and grams, since I have still not mastered the conversion rates myself.

I would love to own a copy of this book for my own kitchen and would recommend it to anyone with an urge to bake.

Wow, this has to be the most beautiful cookbook I've ever seen! The photos alone make this a worthy read.

The recipes range from classic cookies, via bars to ''elevated'' cookies with untraditional tastes, sprinkled with some whoopie pies as a bonus. There are so many droolworthy recipes in here I want to try out, I can't choose.

Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

I basically want to make every single recipe in this book. Traditional standards to new twists on those classics (chocolate sugar cookies! banana poppy seed cookies!) to totally new ideas (raspberry rye cookies! toasted sesame cookies!). Pan-banging cookies! Bars and cookie sandwiches and everything in between. We're currently working (quickly) through a pan of blondies. I'm not sure what we'll try next but I'm sure it'll be delicious. Torn between the turtle brownies or ginger molasses pan-banging cookies. The recipes are easy to follow, and though I haven't yet attempted the macarons, the tone of the book gives me confidence that I'd at least wind up with something edible - even tasty. A welcome addition to my cookbook shelf.

100 Cookies is a Baking Book that should be on every baker's shelf. I was left salivating at the end of the book. There are so many great and unique recipes coupled with such aesthetic pictures. I've noted down a few recipes that I plan on trying out. Absolutely great book!

There were a lot of things I liked about this cookbook. Kieffer's Introduction makes you feel like you know her. The pictures that accompany the recipes are drool-worthy. She talks about techniques that I haven't heard of before like egg wash, tapping the pan against the oven rack to give cookies a nice edge, and banging the pan repeatedly to give ripply edges. I also loved all the literary quotes and unique recipes, such as homemade marshmallows.

I tried two of her recipes, "Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies" and "My Favorite Brownies." Both the cookies and brownies were good, but my family feels we've made others that were better.. I think of myself as a good baker, but I found many of the recipes too fussy for me, or they required ingredients, like hazelnut flour, that I am not likely to go out and buy. .

With COVID-19 causing a global pandemic in early 2020, many families are isolated at home. Some are luckier than others, with work arrangements taken care of or modified and no children or study commitments. Others however, are not. With Australian’s running for the baking aisles of supermarkets like it’s doomsday, people all over the country were eager to stay occupied and turn into baking kings and queens. I was lucky enough to already have a pantry stocked of baking supplies so with this book in hand it was cookie-bonanza for a week in my house.


“Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies” (picture included on my blog of cookies)
Firstly, the information outlined at the start of the book defining terminology, measurements, and equipment needed was fantastic. I have a small baking background (but nothing fancy) and some things are “common knowledge” to me, but I realised this is not the case for everyone, particular first time bakers. But even I learned something new from these first few pages! In particular the egg wash recipe is something I will keep on hand for future reference as i’ve never found one that was sufficient!

So with my pantry full, and book in hand I attempted some recipes. I can happily say the soft chocolate chip cookies turned out amazingly and I cannot stop going back for more! (nor can the rest of the household). I should note, that I used a low-fodmap flour in substitute for the all-purpose flour but this did not affect the outcome of the cookies. A picture of my end result is included on my blog.

Additionally, the pictures! WOW! After viewing each picture I continue to think that I cannot be more impressed but I am! I also wonder if any baking was done when these pictures were taken, they are eerily clean working areas. I did not make my way through trying every recipe personally before posting this review as I don’t have *that* much sugar on hand but I certainly will look forward to revisiting this book in the future.

These recipes are perfect for a weekend treat, baking day with the kids, or to take something special to an event. Actually, literally any reason you need a sweet treat, this book is for that. It replaces every other baking book in the kitchen!

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

5/5 stars

If you are tired of making the small store-bought cookies, eating Oreos, and not trying cookies outside your comfort zone, this book is for those people who love eating cookies and making them. I have tabbed many recipes I cannot wait to try. Yum! Do not peruse through it on an empty stomach, or you will regret it.

Lately, I really enjoy these kind of books. As we are most of the time closed in the house it happens I decide to cook or bake something I never did before. This is the case, I am used to bake cakes but I never baked cookies.
What I loved of this book are three things in particular. The introduction where the author not only shares with the readers her passion for baking cookies and how all it started but gives some important tips to the newbies like me. The second thing I really appreciate is how is divided the book. I started baking some classic cookies as it was my first time but soon I will go wild and bake the others more complex types. Thanks to the table of contents it is really easy to decide what to bake and find the exact page. The third things I loved about this book is the chapter about the music! :D I never saw it before and I found it extremely innovative and lovely even more when you are baking with someone else. I also love that there are pictures so you can have an idea of how it should look like at the end.

There are some very interesting recipes in this book! The organization looks really good. I love the large, color photo of each different type of cookie. It makes browsing in search of something new much easier. What really stuck out to me was the approximation of how many cookies each batch would make. I'm an "empty nester" and I don't need to make huge batches of cookies until we get closer to Christmas. So that is a Godsend to me.

This book is fantastic. All the recipies seem simple and easy to make. There are no weird ingredients. There are also plenty of ideas for a cookie or brownie swap, birthday parties, bbq, etc. I made the chocolate sugar cookies and they were moist and tasted heavenly. Although it would make a great addition to a library for a beginning cook, an experienced cook probably has their tried and true version of the classics.

First of all, a great book cover! There are many classic cookie recipes inside, but to me, the treasures are the less traditional recipe gems! I can’t wait to give some of the recipes a try, and will likely purchase the book for myself or a friend when it's in stores.
