The other night my husband made cookies for me. Oh he’s a wonderful man that loves me so much because not only did he bake the cookies from a cook book that I needed to do a review. The new Entenmann’s Big Book Of Baking is a comprehensive collection of mouth-watering baked goods recipes. Each page has a full color photo of the recipe and I want to cook myself through the entire book.
