    Great reading
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023*

Haven't tried to bake any of the recipes yet, but seeing how cookies were baked 100 years ago is fascinating, and the author who presented this journal made excellent commentary

    The First American Cookie Lady
  

*by M***7 on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014*

Five stars are not enough for this great cookbook. It brings back a lot of very good  memoires about  learning to  coo/k in the late 1930s. We cooked on a big old cast iron Home  Comfort  Range and I was not allowed to get near it until I was ten years old because  my grandmother, who lived with us, was afraid that I would get burned. She let me help her in the kitchen but the stove was off limits until my tenth birthday in  1937. That was a red letter day in my life and I can remember the sugar cookies that I made and baked by myself that day in every detail.I recommend this cookbook to everyone who wants to make old-fashioned cookies. Barbara Swell knows what she is talking about in every detail. I hope all who purchase her books will enjoy themas much as I do.Happy baking!

    Best Cookie Cookbook Ever
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2009*

The First American Cookie Lady cookbook is fabulous.  I made the rum raisin filling for the filled cookie last night and made the cookies today.  They came out so good.  I made a double batch for both and it made 4 dozen cookies.The cookbook is so entertaining and great reading.  The history is interesting.  There are several superstitions that made me laugh out loud.  One of the reasons I had to have this cookbook is because 1917 was the year my father-in-law was born.  I was drawn to this book and I wish that my mother-in-law and father-in-law were still alive.  My mother-in-law was a fantastic baker and so she would have just loved this as well.  So I can say besides having wonderful recipes this book is sentimental to me.
