Blogger and entrepreneur Landis (loveandoliveoil.com) cheerfully channels a lifelong passion for cookie dough into this charming spiral-bound cookbook, which she dedicates to anyone who's been caught with a finger in the mixing bowl. In these easy recipes, eggless, raw cookie dough is shaped into candy-coated confections, sandwiched between whoopie pies, stuffed inside cupcakes, spread atop brownies, and otherwise transformed into whimsical desserts meant to tempt your inner child. There are flavor variations (e.g., Peanut Butter, Gingerbread, Mexican Chocolate) and gluten-free and vegan alternatives. VERDICT Essential for cookie-dough lovers and highly recommended for readers who enjoy creating edible gifts and dessert tables. (c) Copyright 2012.
