Every Cookie You Grew Up With, Back in Your Kitchen This Weekend
This is the beloved 1963 edition of Betty Crocker's Cooky Book: more than 450 recipes, dozens of full-color photographs, and step-by-step how-to sketches, reproduced so the book you remember is the book you get. It holds Chewy Molasses Cookies, Chocolate Crinkles, Toffee Squares, and a full section of holiday cookies, plus Family Favorites and Company Best. Generations of bakers have relied on it, and readers who wore out their first copy say this one is "the exact same book." Use it for your own baking now, then give it to the people who'll bake from it next.
450+ classic recipes, all included. Every favorite from the 1963 edition is here, from simple to fancy enough for company.
See exactly how each cookie should look. Color photos and how-to sketches guide new bakers and experienced ones alike.
A dedicated holiday cookie section. It has dozens of Christmas specialties, so your traditions are covered every year.
Made to be passed down. It's the gift buyers order again and again, for daughters, mothers, and granddaughters.
No. The recipes appear as they did in the 1963 edition, with nothing modernized and nothing left out. You get the same measurements and methods you remember.
Both have the same 450+ recipes, full-color photos and how-to sketches. The hardcover is the sturdier choice for years of baking and for gifting. The paperback is lighter and easier to tuck onto a kitchen shelf.
Yes. There’s a whole section of holiday cookies, with dozens of Christmas specialties, alongside Family Favorites and Company Best Cookies.
When the Book Falls Apart, the Recipes
Go With It
You baked from it until the spine cracked and the pages came loose. Maybe the kids got to it, or a sister kept Mom’s copy. Either way, the recipes your family loved are gone.
When the Book Falls Apart, the Recipes
Go With It
You baked from it until the spine cracked and the pages came loose. Maybe the kids got to it, or a sister kept Mom’s copy. Either way, the recipes your family loved are gone.
Worn Out From Years of Use
The copy you baked from for decades is stained, taped together and missing pages.
The Kids Got to It First
Spilled batter and little hands ruined Mom’s book, and with it the recipes everyone loved.
Online Versions Never Taste Right
Recipes found online are rewritten, “updated” or missing the measurements Mom actually used.
It’s Not That You Forgot
Those recipes only ever lived in that one book. You can have every one of them back.
Every Recipe, Right Where You Left It
This is the beloved 1963 edition of Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book, with all 450+ recipes, full-color photos and the step-by-step sketches you grew up with. Turn to the Chocolate Crinkles or the holiday section and bake them the way Mom did. Then pass it on, so the next generation has them too.

Your questions, answered
Is this the same book I grew up with?+
Yes. It reproduces the 1963 edition with the same recipes, color photographs and how-to sketches. Buyers who wore out their first copy call it “the exact same book.” It’s a new printing, not an original 1963 copy, so it’s ready for everyday baking.
Is it good for beginners?+
Yes. Every recipe comes with full-color photos and step-by-step sketches that show what the dough and the finished cookie should look like. It’s written for first-time bakers and seasoned pros alike.
Does it make a good gift?+
It’s one of the most common reasons people buy it. Customers order copies for daughters, moms and granddaughters, especially before the holidays, so the whole family has the recipes.
What measurements do the recipes use?+
The recipes use the original US cup and spoon measurements, with oven temperatures in Fahrenheit, just as they were printed in 1963.
