These were fun to make with my daughter. Next batch we'll have add a lil something.. Perhaps some lemon or lime zest. They're not a horrible cookie, just falls flat flavorwise. You'll want to make sure the dough is chilled well.. I threw ours in the freezer for an hour and it was firm enough. Once warms up it gets messy and cracks. Posted a couple pictures of how mine turned out.

These were very good! They were a hit at my stepsister's daughters first birthday party. They did take a little time, but oh well, doesn't everything. If I was so worried about the time, I could buy some at the store, no thanks!

Most attractive, colorful cookie I ever made. I made this cookie without the lollypop sticks and it was just awesome. I received lots of compliments

After reading some of the other reviews I was really worried these cookies would be a little too difficult for me (I'm a beginner). I was really surprised to find they are fun and easy to make! My 6 year old daughter loved them.

Very nice recipe. In our bakery, with any cookies (as this one) that we bake on a stick, we always dip the stick into liquid egg whites before sticking that portion into the cookie. This way, the stick will not fall out! 100% guarenteed!

These were a great treat for the kids. I love how they look and that they aren't super sweet.

This is a very creative idea for a cookie. The cookies are really good and the final product is very cute looking but it's time consuming.(Great for making on a snow day!) Will make again. Thank-you, kids loved making them with me.

It is a very creative idea but I can not count on one hand the number of people who liked the recipe. I made 2 batches for the holidays and not even most kids liked it. The cookies stay soft forever but there is nothing noteworthy about them.

I love these cookies! They are so fun for the holidays, and they taste very good! One recommendation though... make sure that the butter and cream cheese are room temperature and not freezing cold. I made this mistake the first time, and the cream cheese came out very lumpy. I had to start the recipe all over again! Once they did work out though, I loved them! Good luck!

My kids and I had so much fun making these, I wouldn't have cared what they tasted like, but they were great. I can't say if they stay soft or not because they didn't last long enough! I only wish they weren't so time consuming. Still a great recipe, and worth every minute. Thanks!

I couldn't decided between 3 and 4 but since they cookies stay moist and don't get hard I gave it it a 4. They come out cute but are very very time consuming. MUST be chilled very well or will not roll or coil right. The butter and cream cheese will soften too much from the temperature of your hands. The cookies tastes really good but nothing special. Doesn't take very long at all to cook so watch carefully. Mine were done in about 6 minutes. I let them set on the cookie sheet then moved them to a cooling rack. One of the softest sugar cookies(and cutest!) I've ever had. =)

I've made these twice. I've only received complements.[My family's not shy, they would tell me.]There fun to make and eat. It's a cookie you make every once in a while, it's a little special.

Finally I bought cream cheese just in time to make this recipe for halloween! The cookie tasted delicious, and the orange and black stripe turned out beautifully! One caution, don't underbake. I did and mine were a little too soft to stand up on the stick so I had to back each one with chocolate. Nobody complained though :)

I tried this recipe as a Halloween gift for the kids' teachers. I must say, they were really impressed! I used the lollipop sticks and wrapped the cookies in mini-cello treat bags, with festive ties. These are beautiful to look at, as well as delicious. I think it must be stated that real butter be used, as well as full-fat cream cheese and real vanilla extract. I also found that it's easier to roll the ropes for each cookie if you mix the color into the mini-batches of dough, refrigerate, and then make a log with each color. I then joined the logs, refrigerated for 10 minutes, and then sliced the big log into 24 pieces. Rolling out each cookie was pretty easy.

Very tasty cookie, stayed soft even couple of days after baked. Couldn't quite get mine to look as pretty as the picture, maybe practice makes perfect. Trying this recipe out as just a regular sugar cookie.

Ok.. I was not sure how to rate this cookie. One thing I wish I knew Trisha's secret to making the awesome black and orange ones. I ended up making this recipe as called for, i scooped out the right amount for each cookie, then put it in the fridge for 20 minutes. THen I rolled them all into ropes (each color) then put them back into the fridge for 15 minutes. Then I took the orange rope, and black rope and spun them togehter and rolled them so they were combined. Then put them back into the fridge. And I could only bake 6 at a time because I only had so much room on my cookie sheet. So as I took them out of the fridge I stuck sticks into them. THey sure didnt look as nice as Trisha's... grr. Ok and about the taste. I read all of the posts about how they didnt taste very good. I thought they tasted just fine, and way sweet enough. I liked the cookie. Ok.. ill add a pictur tonight.
