Title: Very poor recipes
Product review: The book has great photos of the finished products, but the recipes--at least, the ones I tried--really are terrible. And most of the recipes in the book call for vegetable shortening instead of butter. Shortening gives the cookies a very odd squishy texture and does nothing for the flavor. It's an awful substitute for the nice crumb, richness and flavor that butter provides.I'd stay away from this book--there are so many beautiful collections of great cookie recipes available, there's no need to spend your money on this one.
