I was looking for a good cookbook for Christmas Cookies to share with my granddaughter, when I ran across this gem in the Kindle section.It opens with the tradition of the Russell Family and their times of baking. My daughter and I laughed when they described their "two stomach-section" theory. Since my granddaughter will be full at dinner, but ready to eat dessert a minute later, I am certain she must be related in some way to the Russell family.These long-cherished cookie recipes are clearly written with any details that need to be stated to ensure a great cookie success, the book has a well-organized Table of Contents with proper links to the recipes, and every detail of what you need in a cookbook for good cooks has been well thought out.But the best part are the cookies themselves once you make them. These are awesome recipes!If you use a computer, or something unwieldy to take into your kitchen, there is a way you can actually print out the recipes. Take a screen shot, then print the screen shot. It comes in very handy for messy tasks.There is a special prize at the very end of this book, the ultra-secret, Fudge recipe, complete with how to ensure your Fudge comes out as perfect as theirs.Loved the book, loved hearing about the family, a true jewel!
