Gorgeous book, delicous cookies
Rating:
Received Martha Stewart's Cookies as a gift last weekend. Given that I attend or hold a cookie baking party every winter, I've made a few cookies in my day, and still the recipes in this book caught my eye enough to tempt me into baking 4 different (and I mean different!) recipes already. The book itself is gorgeous. The table of contents is pictures of cookies arranged by texture, which is both innovative and dead useful, not to mention drool worthy.
Three of the four trial recipes worked out pretty easily, but the pistachio tuiles were problematic to bake and form because I didn't know what to look for. If you make them, don't use an airbake pan, I recommend lightly buttering up the silpat or other non-stick surface for insurance, and making sure the cookies get pretty brown before approaching with a spatula. Make them small so they're easy to handle. If you undercook them or make them too big so only half cooks at a time, you'll get to eat a lot of ugly rejects if you can get them off the pan. If you have more patience and wait for them to thoroughly cook, you'll have a hit cookie. My trial tasters cleared me out. (Also, I used a coffee grinder reserved for baking -no coffee allowed- to grind my pistachios finer and it worked great.)
I can also recommend the Earl Grey cookies. It's so odd to put actual tea in a food! Again the non-coffee grinder enabled deliciousness. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the batch with the final third resting in a paper towel tube in the freezer ready to be baked on demand. I've never seen this idea of tea in cookies before, so that's why it was the first thing I tried and it was easy.
The Coconut Swirl Brownies were terrific, even though I subbed 2/3c coconut milk +1/3c sugar boiled down to 1/3c for the evaporated milk. It worked great but splattered everywhere when boiling it down. Reviews were again raves, although one suggested adding a quarter tsp cayenne, which I might do next time. Moist but still light and delicious.
Lastly, I halved the Apricot Window tart recipe and made it in an 8" round springform pan. Worked great. I piped the topping on in circles with radial lines like a spiderweb instead of a square grid. (will try to upload photo). Don't know yet if it tastes as good as it looks but the uncooked batter was buttery goodness.
So: recipes 4 of 4 for deliciousness, 3 of 4 for "reasonable" to do straight out of the gate for an experienced baker, and probably 2 of 4 were both tasty and easy for a beginner. That's actually a superb record for any cookbook so I have high hopes that anyone can find at least one or two cookies in here that they will love, and that they might not find anywhere else. Add in the delightful images, and this cookbook is a winner.
Most successful cookbook ever!

I have never yet come across a recipe book where every recipe I try is a success and where every recipe in the book is interesting.Recipes are easy to follow and simple directions yield beautiful results. A worthwhile purchase.
I love cookies!

You'll have to excuse me. I'm a cookie snob. If I am going to eat cookies, I want them classy, full of high priced ingredients, like butter, coarse salt, high quality chocolate. A little extra work is good, too, after all I don't make cookies every day. I made Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk today. I had three for lunch and put the rest in the freezer for me. Yum, yum, yum all mine. My husband can't have bananas and my son doesn't like nuts so these are all mine. I think I'll make them buttered rum meltaways tomorrow. Way to go, Martha. I love this book.

Have it, love it, enough said... well, that would just be too short :)
Very good recipes, for any taste and they are really pretty, this was the second Christmas I made cookies for everybody from this book and they work really well. My only recommendation to anybody would be to be careful with measuring the flour as I had some dry cookies come out of it, but I don't sift my flour before measuring. Love the ideas for packaging too.
