Whether you need a cookie to decorate your tree or grace your mantelpiece (cookies like Stained Glass or Christmas Wreaths), a sweet to send (Mahogany Butter Crunch Toffee, Maple Macadamia Bars), or a special holiday treat for your dinner party (Praline Truffle Cups, Chocolate-Pistachio Marzipan Spirals), you'll find that perfect something here. Complete with 60 cookie recipes and a color photograph of each cookie for handy reference, this easy-to-use and fun-to-read book will result in scrumptious, festive, and splendid-looking cookies every time.

Library Journal

Like Judy Knipe and Barbara Mark's The Christmas Cookie Book ( LJ 10/15/90), this features favorite holiday cookies of all kinds from the author of the authoritative The Cake Bible ( LJ 8/88). There are simple cookies to make with kids, fancy cookies for parties or gifts, beautiful cookies to hang on the tree, and, for the ambitious, a gingerbread cathedral complete with stained glass. Each recipe is accompanied by a full-page color photograph, and Beranbaum's instructions are as clear and detailed as ever--but most of these are fun and easy to make, as Christmas cookies should be. For all subject collections.

Rose Levy Beranbaum has created special occasion cakes priced at more than two thousand dollars for customers including world-renowned restaurant consultant George Lang, and a wedding cake for Rudolph Sprungli, owner of Lindt Chocolate. She lives and works in New York City.
