So Sweet! ...from Sur la Table {cookbook review}

So Sweet! 
Cookies, Cupcakes, Whoopie Pies, and More

Author:  Sur la Table
Publisher: Andrews McMeel
hard cover: 135 pages
photos: yes

Chapters/Sections: Cookies - Cupcakes - Whoopie Pies - Doughnuts

Fantastic Features: Beautiful photos sure to tickle any sweet tooth.

(a few of the many) Recipes Destined for my Kitchen: Peanut Butter Thumbprints w/ Peanut Caramel, Mexican Chocolate Crackle Cookies, Old-Fashioned Spice Doughnuts, Nutmeg Puff Doughnuts, Raspberry-Cherry Crumble Bars, Lemon Cheesecake Cupcakes w/ Lemon Glaze, Gingerbread Whoopie Pies w/ Orange Buttercream Filling, Maple and Bacon Doughnuts

Additional Thoughts: This book is small and cute and contains 50 recipes.  Plenty of choices for the baker or dessert lover that range from classics like Lemon Bars to a bit more out of the box like Chocolate-Earl Grey Shortbread coins.  I think that along with a doughnut pan (because all of the doughnut recipes in here are baked and require one), this would make a fantastic gift.

Recipe(s) I have already tried:  Be Creative Sugar Cookies
*I received a free copy of this book to review from the publisher.  All thoughts and opinions stated in this post are 100% mine.

    Excellent suggestion! My husband loves to bake, so this book would make a wonderful present for his upcoming birthday.

    Mmm, I've been meaning to try donuts with bacon on them, I've seen them in a few shops but I haven't gotten around to it- I get too full on chocolate glazed! That Lemon Cheesecake sounds great, too. Are the recipes pretty easy though? Sur La Table is kind of fancy!

    I love your cookbook reviews. I always see cookbooks and everything looks great in them but I do not like buying them unless someone I know or trust has tried them. And you cook far more often than I do and I love your blog, so I trust your opinion. Maybe I should start writing down titles I see that I'm interested in and I will send them to you in the hopes that you'll try the cookbook first. :)

    Yum what makes that sugar cookie creative? I like making Funfetti cookies- which are just sugar cookies with sprinkles baked inside so they melt into a delicious rainbow of sugary goodness. I want to make sugar cookies like the one in your picture...
