"Christmas Cookies Are for Giving is a collaborative effort that is pure magic. Used appropriately, it will make your kitchen smell like the holidays, your family happy and your Christmas gifts sing songs of good will." —Carolyn Howard-Johnson, BookReview.com

"This cookbook not only gives you many wonderful cookie recipes for Christmas, baking tips, how to pack and ship these goodies for sending to friends and family locally or far away, and how to prepare Gift Cookies in a Jar, but the book also begins with a wonderful heartwarming 'Dickensian' style story set in modern times, The Giving Christmas Cookie...I highly recommend this touching and very informative book. It's one you will pass down to your children and grandchildren. Give this to people you love, and give it to yourself. It's one of the best gifts you'll receive this year." —Diana Baker Woodall, DianasDesserts.com

“An old fashioned Christmas gift idea has been revived and updated in this charming book... The book captures the joy of doing your own cookie making and includes such decadent specialties as Triple Chocolate Caramel Brownies and Vanilla Crescents... a great guide for discovering the secrets of great baking.” —Westchester World
