There is nothing like taking a tray of freshly baked cookies out of the oven. You try to wait until they cool down enough to be handled, but often you can’t stand the wait and you burn the tips of your fingers (and possibly your tongue) with your first bite. With all the things I cook, I tend to fall into a baking rut, creating the same oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies over and over again.

Luckily there’s a new cookie recipe book out there that will forever release me from my personal cookie routine. It’s called 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes and was written by Lucinda Wallace and Heather Wallace. The book is broken down into five categories: Bar Cookies, Drop Cookies, No-Bake Cookies, Rolled Cookies and Shaped Cookies. It’s a no-nonsense book, without glossy pictures or chatty prose prior to recipes. However, when it comes to quality cookie recipes, it delivers perfectly.

Looking for a recipe to take to the office that will make your co-workers swoon? Look no further than the Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookie recipe on page 50. Your kids will swoon over the Iced Banana Bars (unless they hate bananas. Crazy kids).
