A while back I bought The Flour Pot cookie book and it has lots of good ideas in it! It gave me some inspiration. If you are unsure, check it out at the library first! I always like to look before I buy! (Hey, lived with DH for 6 years before getting married, so you KNOW I'm not kidding about that! Haha!)

I also have the Flour Pot cookie book - it is very cool - I agree with Melvira - lots of inspiration there. I also have Toba Garret's Cookie book (the name escapes me right now) which has some good recipes and inspiration in it - it is more formal I would say than the Flour Pot book - the flour pot book is more whimsical - which is more my style. But I use them both - I love books - I can help but buy them!

I love Autumn Carpenter's cookie decorating books. I ordered them at the Country Kitchens web site(I believe). Very reasonably priced, with lots of pictures and tips.

I saw the Cookie Sensations: Creative Designs for Every Occasion by Meaghan Mountford at Borders and thought it was a great book. Would have bought it if I had the extra money. It's all RI. If you like fondant, then check out the Flour Pot book, but you can just replace the fondant with RI instead.

I just ordered the Flour Pot book -

I did a search on Froogle.com and found it (in "very good condition") for $4.70!


I'm very happy... thanks to all of you! icon_biggrin.gif

I love the Cookie Sensations book. The Icing is yummy, doesn't dry rock solid and retains most of its shine.
The ideas a cute. and I love the fact that she outlines everything in a darker shade or different color - makes it stand out and then you don't have to worry about that line when flooding since it is suppose to be there!
It has been an inspirational book for me.
