Review: Disappointing. More of a marketing piece than a cookbook.

Let me preface this by saying I love the older Betty Crocker books. I have many favorite recipes that were originally published in BC cookbooks. The difference between those recipes and most of what is presented here-the older recipes were "from scratch" recipes not open up a pre-packaged cookie pouch and add a few other ingredients recipes.I am surprised that baking contests have devolved into what is presented here. I mean come on, how hard is it to make cookies from scratch. Your basic ingredients are flour, sugar, some form of fat, baking powder or soda, eggs and a few flavor enhancers.If you are looking for good, home made cookie recipes skip this book. There are far better choices available.
