How can you go wrong with 25 Scrumptious Desserts? Some of these recipes are old friends - No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies, Caramel Pecan Bars and the Haystack Cookies recipes. I've made them for years. Others are new for me to try out - I'd never heard of Buttery Chess Squares, but I'm going to give them a try. The Cranberry White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies recipe also sounds great, and I will definitely try the Apple Fritters, as it's different from my yeast-raised recipe.One small issue is the cookie recipes don't give any idea of the quantity the recipe makes. You can visualize with the bars and cakes, but the cookies are harder - it would be nice to have it say "3 dozen" or "60 cookies" or whatever. But this is a great book with standard ingredients most folks always have on hand in their pantry.
