Chocolate Chip Cookies: Dozens of Recipes for Reinterpreted Favorites Reviews

  I wasn't sure at what point I could consider a recipe book to be read. But I think, having made a decent proportion of the recipes, now is the time. All the recipes I've tried have turned out successful. The cookies I've baked haven't lingered in the tin and seem to have been enjoyed.
  
  The recipes I have made are:
  
  - Crispy - a surprise, I didn't think I'd like a crispy cookie. Turns out they were rather moreish
  - Soft
  - Chewy - I used chopped hazelnuts
  - Chocolate-macadamia - the notes I made at the time simply say 'These were yummy!'
  - Oatmeal-raisin - these were fantastic, tasty, great texture. One of the favourites.
  - Granola & chocolate - which I used
  my own granola for
  - Peanut butter - made twice, both times good
  - Sweet potato - quite cakey texture
  - Salted caramel - I used some salted caramel that a friend brought back from Jersey rather than making my own as the recipe suggests
  
  There are still a couple of recipes that I've got sticky notes against to try at some point. But I've already started revisiting some which means I think it's time for a review of the recipe book.

  Yum! I borrowed this from the library and was very pleased with the variety of chocolate chip cookies in this book. I tried two recipes this morning: the Crispy cookie, and the Chai Tea cookie. I adjusted the recipe by just using 2 bags of Chai Spice tea and 1 bag of Earl Grey tea, rather than purchasing several dollars worth of spices that I only required 1/8 - 1/4 tsp. of and it came out delicious. There's a few other recipes in here I might like to try, so I might purchase this in the future. :)

  This book has everything you ever wanted to know about the chocolate chip cookie. It includes an interesting history of the now famous history and features basic recipes for whatever type of cookie you crave, chewy, crispy or soft. From Malted Hazelnut-Chocolate Cookies (pg 34) to the more exotic Duck Fat Chocolate Chip (pg 63) there are recipes here for every taste.
