Now this is a five star recipe! I didn't make the suckers, but let the kids play with the dough like it was play dough and then baked their creations. They absolutely loved it! Thanks for the fun activity and really great cookie.

I made these cookies for my son to pass out to his teachers and bus driver along with thank you notes for his last day of kindergarten. They are so colorful and cute and a great tasting cookie also. I'm glad I did not read any reviews except the ones on the recipe page, because if I had, I probably would have added extra sugar, as other reviewers did. I don't think these need any more sugar. They are sweet enough, and buttery... yum. The only change I made to the recipe was a neccessary improvisation. I began making the dough before I realized we had used the last of the cream cheese (which I almost always have), so I subbed 1/4 C or so of sour cream and the texture of the cookie is wonderful! I will definitely make these again! (The kids haven't even seen these yet... they are in bed for the night... they're going to love them!)

The kids love to both eat these(they are the 1st to go at parties) as well as make these cookies. Even my 3 yr old can do it with a little bit of help. Takes awhile to make these the 1st time, but after that you get it down to a science.

Loved them!!!! They were not as hard as I though they would be. I made the dough devided it into 4 balls colored them and rolled the small balls then I put them in the refigerator overnight. In the morning I made the cookies and backed them. The kids loved them!!!! I will be making these again! A special thank you to cookies for all the help!

This is the same recipe as "Play Dough Cookies" from this site. i find this cookie to be absolutely YUMMY! I don't think it is bland at all. I use this recipe in plase of my other sugar cookies now because these are so great and they are so fluffy. I use these for my kids b-day treats instead of cupcakes and everyone loves them. I do sprinkle some sugar on before cooking and I think that I may try a clear glaze too, but really plain is wonderful too!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

hmm... soft cheese in a cookie? I just had to try it coz the pic looked so bright and colourful. I had to use liquid dyes instead of paste, and I didn't get many cookies, I made them too big... they came out like saucers lol much to my daughters delight :) I didn't add extra sugar into the mix, however I did roll them out in icing sugar to stop them from sticking to the counter. Overall, they were fun to make and the taste... yummy! This recipe is definatley a keeper, thanks so much for sharing!

What a fun project with the kids on an unexpected snow day. It took a cookie or so to get the technique down (we were making the "snake" too thin) but even the mistakes have their own character. I added the additional 1/3 cup of sugar as others had suggested and we didn't have a problem with bland cookies. They are sugar cookies though, not super sweet like choco chip, etc. Will definitely make again.

5 stars for the concept alone. I wish I read prior reviews of adding a tad more sugar. Cookie itself tasted kinda bland-but not bad. Maybe a 1/4 cup more sugar or even conf sugar. Other than that it was fun and I think to make them look the prettiest its safe to roll the colors individually and gently attach them. They get more tie-dye looking by adding all colors into one ball and rolling out. Check out the pictures posted and you can tell the difference. Will keep in my recipe box.

I was expecting the playdough type cookies that you find in groceries, but these were not that cookie. I added almond extract and 1/4 c additional sugar, and they still came out rather plain and unexciting. I put a raspberry glaze on them and they were much better, but I don't think I'd make them again.

I got 4 dozen out of this recipe. I inserted the lollipop sticks to only 2 dozen and left them out for the rest. I increased the sugar by 1/2 Cup and I think thats a good amount. I found I had to leave the dough in the fridge and do a few at a time because it softened quickly which made it impossible for me to roll, snake and coil. I have to agree that this recipe is very time consuming but it is worth it especially on special occasions. A huge hit with my daughter and I thought they tasted and looked pretty good as well.

The kids had a blast making them. They were not very flavorful.

This was fun!!! my daughter made these for a trade fair for school and it went great!!! I did ad the extra sugar and sprinkled some on top before I baked them. The kids had fun making them and in all kinds of ways..thanks

These look really cool, but the work is not really worth it for me. I thought by reading the recipe it would not be that hard, but very time consuming....not meant for large quantities. These will expand a great deal during cooking, so don't place to close together on cookie sheet. Tasted good, but a pain.

Very bland. Wonder if I could use my favorite sugar cookie recipe because the idea is great but my kids only ate a little even though they LOVED making them and LOVED the idea. Sorry but this is tasteless.

These look really cool, but the work is not really worth it for me. I thought by reading the recipe it would not be that hard, but very time consuming....not meant for large quantities. I added the extra sugar as well, and I think it would have been easier if I had not chilled the dough. This only made the dough crack whereas when I first mixed the dough it was pliable like playdough. The recipe also fails to mention that these will expand a great deal during cooking, so don't place to close together on cookie sheet.
