Cookies

by Good Housekeeping Institute (New York, N.Y.)

Including recipes from readers and staffers, this collection runs the gamut from familiar Snickerdoodles and Coconut Macaroons to more unusual Sour-Cream Nut Rolls and McIntosh-Oatmeal Cookies. Though the book is aimed at bakers of all levels, advice such as "don't use coffee or tea cups, or tableware teaspoons and tablespoons for measuring" suggests it's best suited to newbies.
