Don't know if this is the right place for this post, but here goes.

If any of you are interested in the "Colossal Cookies Cookbook" by

Wendy Kou, she was on with David a couple weeks ago, Amazon has her cookbook for $11.31 with a coupon offering of 10% off and free S&H. I finally caved and purchased it after "thinking" about it. It's quite a savings worth passing on to those who may be "thinking" about it, also. It scheduled for release Dec 11.

@SharkE I really don't know what recipes are in the book, but for $11, I ordered it. She has a web site ~~www.wendykou.com~~ -- think that's it. You can read & see the kinds of recipes she makes.

Above web site is incorrect. It's www.mydessertdiet.com. Sorry for confusion.

I checked it out, but, we don't like those giant cookies.

Thanks @coffee drinker for sharing. Sometimes I will make cookies for my nieces and nephews so I reserved my copy and used the coupon.

@GAQShopr53 Like you, I'll try these on our nephew's-- no niece's. I hope you got the same price as I did. When I checked the book last night, the price increased by about $1 and no coupon was offered. Can't understand Amazon's pricing, but happy I got the low, low price.

@coffee drinker I did get the lower price of $10 but there was a note that said if the price decreased before shipping I would be charged the lower amount. Thinking this is why Amazon offered the 10% coupon to cover any price adjustments.

@SharkE

It says it has all your must have cookies plus filled cookies.

I don't really need large cookies. When I want I cookie I just want a regular cookie not one with icing or filled with something.

Just as a follow-up -- I must have looked through this book 3 times if not more and to be honest with all, I was disappointed. After hemming and hawing, I decided to send the book back. Hated having to spend additional $3+, but there was nothing that I wanted to bake. Wait till postage rates increase the end of the month. Then I'll be very selective in what I purchase on-line. Sorry if I mislead anyone about it. Wondering now what purchasers thought about it. I looked here for reviews here, but couldn't find the book listed, and of course, no reviews. Wonder why!!! Amazon had a few reviews that were favorable.

@coffee drinker At first, I thought you were talking about The Colossal Cookie cookbook that I have with recipes of eight food writers, which I purchased years ago, 425 recipes. It is an enormous, heavy book, but go it at Costco for $12.69. the cookies are not colossal, just the book is, lol. I made some wonderful cookies recently from this book.

I see it is offered at amazon:

@mousiegirl, Sorry for the confustion about the book. Thanks for the info. I'll have to take a look at it. Don't you just love Costco and Amazon for their bargains and sometimes free shipping. I certainly do.

ETA Just checked Amazon and there are two book that look exactly the same, except for author and one says editor. One have 4 stars rating, the other 1 star. Strange. But both are avaliable as used
