Book Review: Cookie Swap! by Lauren Chattman

Rating: 4 Stars

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Cookie Swap! by Lauren Chattman, and it's a delightful treat for anyone who loves baking—especially when it comes to cookies! This book is not just a collection of recipes; it's a guide to creating joyful cookie swap experiences year-round. The vibrant photographs throughout the book truly bring the cookies to life, making it impossible not to get excited about baking.

The concept of cookie swaps is wonderfully inclusive and can be celebrated on so many occasions beyond the holiday season. Chattman emphasizes that these gatherings can be perfect for any reason, even weddings, which I found particularly charming. This makes the book feel relevant all year long and not just reserved for Christmas.

What I adore about Cookie Swap! is how it balances being both a cookbook and a practical guide. It's packed with theme ideas, essential planning tips, and even some helpful math for figuring out how many cookies to bake based on your guest list. And the recipes? Oh, they're simply mouthwatering! From the classic Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies to more inventive options like Matcha Sandwich Cookies with Almond Cream, there's truly something for every palate.

Honestly, I loved this book. It's filled to the brim with everything you need to host a successful cookie swap: recipes, tips, and tricks that make the process feel effortless. Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting out, Chattman has made sure there's something here for everyone.

In a bright and playful package, Cookie Swap! is not only a fantastic addition to your kitchen bookshelf but also makes for an ideal gift for fellow cookie enthusiasts. If you're looking to infuse a little more sweetness into your gatherings, I highly recommend picking up this book!
