Hanging out at Border’s Books is one of my favorite pastimes, and wondering the bargain books leaves me in a constant state of euphoria. I recently ran across a little book titled 1 Dough 100 Cookies: Take 1 basic recipe and make 100 kinds of cookies by Linda Doeser.

At first I thought this was just an impossible feat, then I started to look at the recipes and although I don’t think there are 100 good recipes in the book, for the mere price of $6.98 (I should have checked online) there are probably about 40 or 50 usable recipes.

Being a huge fan of dried fruit and nuts the Apricot & Pecan Cookies (p.86) are sure to be winners and would probably be great novelty cookies for weddings, or as a delicate dessert served with a peach sorbet at a catered event. Looking to build your cookie cookbook library? This might be one of the best buys you can find, since you can now pick up a copy of this cookbook online starting at under a dollar.
