This week’s staff pick is “Simply Sensational Cookies” by Nancy Baggett. With school back in session and the end of summer, you might need a pick me up, and what better way than a batch of delicious homemade cookies? The staff has tried several recipes from this book, and they’ve all come out so well that the results don’t last long. The directions are easy to follow, each recipe is marked as to it’s level of ease (and many are ‘very easy’), and we recommend reading the blurbs at the beginning of each recipe because she has some great tips like rinsing raisins in hot water to keep them plump and from drying out the cookies. Her introduction is also chock-full of great baking advice. This book passed our staff test, and we highly recommend it any time you need a new cookie recipe.
