Customer Reviews

Too Sweet, Too Dry
There's a good, scientific reason that most cookie recipes have you cream together butter and sugar before you add ingredients. The problem with this book--like many mason jar cookie cookbooks--is that the cookie recipes seem to be just "regular" cookie recipes made without doing that step first. The resulting cookies have little taste and are overpoweringly sweet and dry. I only tried two...but after two, I couldn't bear to try any more.

great ideas but dry
Although I thought this book had great ideas, when I went to sample the recipes before I made them for friends, I found the consistency of the dough very dry and impossible to "spoon" out by rounded spoonfuls. I had to use my hands to smush the dough together. I may have to make my own recipes instead.

Good recipes, but not many recipes
I have most of the books in this series. My parents are aging and I have been looking for items that I can make for them which will have a long shelf life and would require them to do minimal food preparation, yet still have a 'home cooked meal'. The recipes fit the bill for the most part. In each book I found that there were a few recipes that are great and some I wouldn't try at all. This is what I usually find in any cookbook. I would comment that each book only has about 25 or so recipes in it. The rest of the pages consist of 6 copies each of pre-made instruction cards to enclose with each food package. I did feel disappointed in the number of recipes for the cost of the book
