Betty Crocker Picture Cooky Book

Note: This edition of Betty Crocker’s Picture Cooky Book has been updated to include Metric equivalents.

Here is our newest and fullest collection of cooky recipes…our answer to thousands of requests from homemakers who have learned that everybody loves cookies! We give you many hints, short-cuts, and tricks that save you time and work…everything that will make cooky-baking so easy for you.

In this book you’ll find every type of cooky—all the favorites our Staff has discovered in our years of testing in the General Mills kitchens. Testing, of course…testing and re-testing…is the real “success secret” behind all our recipes. Why, we often spend weeks testing and perfecting just one single recipe! We make the recipe over and over again, but each time some one change is made that the Staff feels might improve it. In addition, we try out any suggestions from our homemaker-testers. Finally, when we’re positive we’ve got the best possible recipe, we release that recipe to you.

Now before you start to bake, be sure you look at the “how-to-do” pages immediately following. But you’ll find good help on every page—for we have included all the little secrets for success that we have been gathering for years! If you follow these suggestions and our simplified and exact recipes, we know you’ll agree with us that cooky-making is fun!
