These are so cute! I really thought I was playing with Play Dough. I really recommend using the paste that the recipe calls for so you get the deep color without using a ton of food coloring. After I halved each color I halved them again and pre-rolled the first 6 balls of each color so I could ensure I'd have enough of each color for each cookie. I, at first, tried to the first 12 but they started to dry out. Once I got my rope formed I started forming the inside coil. After three loops I took the tail end of the rope and wrapped it around the coil. I found a bag of 100 6" sticks at Michaels and 100 baggies with ties that fit perfectly on the cookie. They also have a ton of different individual colored pastes to choose from. I will definitely be making these again!

I made this for our VBS and all the adults liked them but the older kids said they needed more flavor. And the younger kids ate them up really fast . I think i will make this recipe and make a sugar cookie recipe with the same color idea and everyone will be happy !! I loved them just sorry the kids didnt !!

These are very cool and creative. They are also super easy if you use store-bought sugar cookie dough.

I made these for a bake sale and they were a HUGE hit. I used bright primary colors to grab attention. They were so fun to make and eat!

I don't like giving unfavorable reviews, but I have to say, this one just didn't do it taste-wise for us. They were really fun to make, and the kids really enjoyed shaping them. But the flavor was missing something. First, it wasn't sweet enough for our tastes. It also tasted (not texture, texture was ok) a bit doughy. On the up side, it was a fun activity to do with the kids.

OK, I do not like the taste of this recipe so I used the 'soft christmas cookie' recipe from this site and then used this color/swirl idea, which I think is great! Much fun!

I did not care for these. I consider myself a pretty good cook. These were time consuming and not worth it. I'm going to put some frosting on them in hopes I can salvage these.. but I'm definitely not making the again.

My girls really enjoyed making these cookies. It kept them busy for a good while but I do have to agree with others that they don't taste like much. After baking and tasting them I wish we would have sprinkled them with some sugar before we baked them. Maybe even mixing up some powdered sugar glaze might help too. They are very pretty to look at and the girls had a great time. Just for that reason they are great!!

This recipe was a real hit at my son's nursery school. The cookies are colorful and fun to make. I made the balls first and then chilled them and only used 3 colors. I don't find them very tasty - as mentioned before, it is more like a spritz cookie than a sugar cookie. But the final result is beautiful especially when sprinkled with a bit of sanding sugar.

These are really good. It's the same recipe as "The Fun Cookie Suckers" from this site. It's very time consuming but well worth the effort as they truly are pretty and kids love them. I found if I did most of the prep work to the dough like make all the balls for rolling before chilling the dough it makes it easier because the dough softens quickly which makes it difficult to coil, so this way I did a bit at a time and kept the rest in the fridge. Very nice cookie. THX.

I made these last night, and they are very good. Nice mild taste. They look festive! Others mention they are like sugar cookies. I think they are much closer in taste to spritz cookies. I cooked them so they were very lightly crisp on the edges, but chewy on the inside. Just the way we like them. Very filling, though. I can do some major damage on a bag of Chips Ahoy, but could only do 3 of these when my snack-o-meter dinged. Do not try and make these without a good supply of ice cold milk. You'll tank me for that tip later!

These are so good, kind of like a cream cheese spritzer. A lot of work, but is a lot like working with play-doh. A new fav.!

Yummy and fun! So easy for the kids. It's hard to find a project that a 7 year old and a 3 year old can both do together and enjoy. This would be it:) We followed the recipe EXACTLY and turned out PERFECT! We did sprinkle a bit of sugar on them before baking, which made them taste exactly like sugar cookies. Thanks soooo much for the recipe!

These were so fun and turned out perfect!!! My kids helped with the shaping of the cookies and they had a blast! I am going to definently make these for class parties for my kids. I love the basic dough too. I will use this recipe in replace of my basic sugar cookies. These turned out so light and fluffy. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this recipe.

I must not have made this recipe correctly... When I went to coil the dough, it broke frequently. I think perhaps my dough was too stiff. The cookies taste good, but they would definitely have been more attractive if the dough hadn't kept cracking. I probably won't make this recipe again. Creative, though!

These cookies are so neat to look at. I made them without putting the stick in. The first comment I got was "Wow, those look like Play Doh!" Everyone thought these were really fun cookies and they taste pretty good too. They taste like a sugar cookie. The only thing I would warn you about is that they do take a while to make. You have to take a little dough of each color combine them with the other colors, roll out, and then coil up. So it does take some time, but it is definately worth it! I had a lot of great comments about these.
