Review: Interesting recipes

There are a lot of recipes that I have never seen before in this book. I'm pretty sure that most (if not all) of these can be found for free on the internet. But it's a nice collection of unusual cookie recipes.One thing that bothers me about the recipes (and not all of them) is the usage of packaged cookie mix/cake mix in a couple of them. That doesn't really scream "gourmet" to me. But again, the cookies are, for the most part, not your typical cookie recipe.One of those that has a packaged mix is the red velvet cookies, which I actually made last week before I even saw this book.  I had been given the cake mix (my mom was cleaning out her pantry), no ingredients for the frosting, and the box said that there was a recipe for cookies online. It's the same recipe as is in this book. If you make these cookies, be warned that they stain EVERYTHING! And your mouth/saliva will look quite gory.  Just a word of precaution. :-)In all, it's not your typical cookie recipes. Not all can be called gourmet, but it's a good freebie.
