BOOKSHELF
Cookie cookbook offers wide variety
For the baker on your Christmas list, here's an idea in the under-$15 range -- Muriel Miura's "Cookies from Hawaii's Kitchen" (Mutual Publishing). The veteran cookbook author has assembled a wide variety of recipes, organized by technique: bars, dropped, pressed, sliced, rolled and no-bake cookies.
You'll find old favorites (Stained Glass and Lemon Bars) and cookies with a local touch (Hawaiian Fruit Bars and Macadamia Nut Krispies).
It's all dedicated to Miura's best cookie audience, grandchildren Alissa and Stephen (the chocolate-chip cookie recipe bears Alissa's name).
The book sells for $13.95 at most bookstores or order online at www.mutualpublishing.com.
