This is my new favourite cookie cookbook.
This book is so beautifully done. The photographs are superb, the recipes are concise and clear. The variety of treats is awesome. This could be the only cookbook you’ll need for baking.

Thank you NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for this ARC

The recipes are all designed with the holiday spirit in mind, from visually stunning dishes to unique flavor combinations that feel special and celebratory. Each recipe is thoughtfully curated, offering a balance of tradition and innovation. If you only get one baking book , this would be it !!

Gorgeous book, probably the only Christmas cook book you’d need for simple and more stunning recipes to choose from. Ideal presents or simply indulge yourself and family over the Christmas period. I received an advanced digital copy but I will definitely be purchasing a copy in hardback.

The Christmas Baking Cookbook is full of Christmas recipes ranging from classic gingerbread cookies to yule log cake recipes. It's a creative and unique way to keep up with Christmas baking traditions.

This is a good, well-organized cookbook with lots of great recipes for cakes, cookies, and other assorted holiday baked goods. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the feee ARC.

The Christmas Baking Cookbook : ’Tis the Season for 100+ Festive Treats. This is a fabulous Christmas baking book, bursting with both traditional and original recipes. A joy to browse through due to the beautiful pictures ( a big bonus !). Instructions are very easy to follow and the recipes are suitable for all levels. Excellent book.

I liked the different sections and but many of the recipes looked very similar. big fan of the large use of cardamon in my recipes

This is a great wee recipe book! Me and my flatmate made the snowman cookies and found the recipe easy to follow (and the cookies tasted great!)
We did haave to convert a few things as it uses american measurements which was mildly annoying and got quite confused and had to google what few good ingredients were like molasses and apple pie spice. In the end we just picked a recipe that didnt have any of those for ease.
I think this is a very cute Christmas recipe book but I would like it a lot better if it was more fit for european audiences.

This is a great Christmas cookbook full of Holiday treats. There are so many recipes to choose from - classics, to old-fashioned favorites. I had heard of many of these recipes but there were also some different ethnic recipes that I’m interested to try.

The pictures are really beautiful, too.

Anyone who loves Holiday baking will appreciate this cookbook!

Nothing beats the smell of baked goodies, The Christmas Baking Cookbook is filled with over 100 delicious baking recipes, beautiful photograghs of finished goods, and the recipes are easy to follow.

The cookbook is broken down in six categories, plus an Appenix that has all the necessary recipes from Royal Icing to the perfect crust all with easy to follow directions to achieve perfection.

The categories: Cookies, Cakes, Breads & Breakfast treats, Pastries, Pies & Tarts, Custards & other Decadent confections. Eash recipe choosen embodies an element of the Christmas spirit that is inhabited by all of us.

The first recipe to try, the Classic Gingerbread Cookies, the recipe is written in easy to follow steps that are not complicated. Measurements are easily identified next to the ingredients and written in such a manner that you cannot miss a step or ingredient as you work through the steps. There is a clear indication on the yield of the recipe, time preparing and total cooking time are listed just under the recipe name. Nothing beats making Gingerbread men and women and decorating them with children or even as a couples activity.

For the more traditional recipes, there is the Stollen, which is the only recipe that takes 4 days to complete. The steps are easy to follow again and you wouldn’t know that it has taken you that long to make it. The most pressing time consuming part of the recipe is soaking the dried fruits overnight and then letting the dough rest and rise a few times before baking in the oven. Although, I would immediately bypass a recipe that is very time consuming, I will be tackling this recipe during the holidays, it yields 2 loaves, so that means there will be plenty to share at Christmas.

There is a conversion chart is at the back of the book before the index, so those who don’t use oz or F in their everyday cooking can easily convert of grams and C.

This book is really an essential book to have in your library. Start a new family tradition with baking goodies with the family or as part of a couples activity.

Amazing and varied recipes for delicious holiday baking. The recipes are all paired with photographs which I really appreciated, and the instructions are simple, clear, and easy to follow. The book also featured a nice variety of treats that depart from the standard Christmas cookies and pastries, such as custards and pies. I can’t wait to start baking the recipes for my friends and family!

I cannot wait to bake my way through this book this December! The recipes seem easy to follow and the photos accompanying them are beautiful. Such a wide assortment of holiday treats, thank you to the Editors of Cider Mill Press for my net galley copy!

4/5 ⭐️
Thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is quite a collection of holiday dessert recipes! Mostly cookies, but there’s plenty of other goodies too. All the classics are here, but there’s enough unique recipes to tickle your fancy and get you excited about trying something new too. My only complaint is that the photos didn’t seem to perfectly match what the recipes told the reader to do do.

I would definitely purchase this cookbook to add to my collection and I will be trying some of the recipes during my holiday baking this year!!
The photographs of the finished product are very high quality and give a very good idea of what your final product should look like!


There are a few gramatical issues that I found, also the inconsistency in units of measurement for ingredients is bothersome and could prove to be challenging in the kitchen, and I feel that some of the recipes should be in different categories but putting those small issues aside this is a very well designed and thought out cookbook.

Well it is now November and we all cooking and baking for Christmas so thank you NetGalley this was downloaded intime to get ahead with Christmas baking.

Love the fact this is well illustrated and it has a good selection of festive bakes to choose from Chocolate crinkle cookies, fab youle log ( who doesnt make a yule log at this time) spent a few days ech year at the Dresden Christmas markets so was please to see lebkuchen which i have never made - will be this christmas.

Something for everyone and all levels of baking skills would make a great Christmas gift.

So recommended

The Christmas Baking Cookbook is a fun cookbook that includes many unique recipes. I appreciated that this cookbook isn't simply regular Christmas recipes you can find on the internet. Though it has some classics, it includes many recipes from different cultures and places and twists on traditional recipes. For example, one of the recipes I immediately saved was gingerbread madelines and another was cranberry, orange, pistachio biscotti. These recipes will surely be a hit and this cookbook is a great resource for anyone who loves holiday baking or who is looking to expand their holiday baking offerings, like I am. One thing I missed in this book was personality; this will be different for every reader. For me, I wanted a lit bit of narrative about the recipes -- are there any keys to success? Anything the author learned making them? Or maybe a reason they're special or something they might symbolize? Or even an idea for how they've wrapped them or paired them for gift giving. If you're a person who wants just a cookbook with recipes and nothing else, this will be perfect for you. If you want just the facts this is for you. I would recommend this as a fantastic gift for any baker; anyone who loves to bake will surely use and enjoy this and it would be great paired with a nice baking tool.

What a beautiful cookbook! I loved the presentations, the form of the book. I will be enjoying some of these recipes this Christmas season.

Many thanks to Net Galley and Cider Mill Press for a copy of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.

This book has it all: custards, pies, tarts, pastries, breads and breakfast treats, cakes, and cookies.
The recipes are written in an easy-to-follow way, but I wish the measurements were also given in grams, to save non-American readers from having to do the additional search.
The photos make the baked goods look super delicious and motivate you to try the recipes.
