Book Review: Delish Insane Sweets by Joanna Saltz

Delish Insane Sweets
by Joanna Saltz (641.865 Sal)

By now everyone is sick to death of their healthy diets and it’s time to splurge on desserts!

 

Delish Insane Sweets is a collection of dessert recipes on the smaller size. Some recipes will make 13 cookies (Ultimate Snickerdoodles), some 18 (Earth Day Cookies), and some 24 (Owl Cupcakes — which are adorable looking, too).

 

The categories include Cookie Monsters, Cupcakes, Brownies, Bar Cookies, and Holiday Cookies.

 

Pick and choose a treat, and if you don’t like that recipe, the batch was small enough that you can give them all away to neighbors or coworkers and try something else without feeling like you wasted a ton of ingredients.

 

Use your own chocolate chip cookie recipe and use “31 Amazing Mix-Ins for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough” to create a few new cookies using a few soft caramels for some, chopped cooked bacon for another, mini Oreos for others, along with 28 other suggestions.

 

This was a fun book to browse through and bake (Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies! Cheesecake-Stuffed Cupcakes!) and I have it on my To Buy List for my personal collection.

 

Best of all, there are photos of every single recipe.
