I know a lot of people think this cookie really lacks in the sweet section. What we do when we make them is dip the top part in white sugar before baking. I actually really like that this is such a mild cookie and so fun to make! I wear a pair of rubber gloves when making these to avoid food coloring stains and also so that I can work with my hands rather than a mixer. My younger cousin really, really likes these...I'm going to have to hide the batch I just made so I can make it to my show tomorrow with enough for the cast!

I have been wanting to make these for a while now and I am so glad that I finally did! These are SO cute and delicious too! I followed the recipe exactly and found the dough was great to work with and had a great flavor. I think next time I will make these a little smaller though. All in all a fantastic fun recipe that I will for sure make again! Thanks for posting :)

All the reviews dont talk much about the recipe its self...If you are looking for a good sugar cookie recipe, I would not suggest this one. These cookies had a doughie taste and not much flavor at all. My 2 year old loves sugar in all forms but she would not eat these. I cooked the first batch exactly the way it read and they came out soft and super doughie tasting. So I thought if i cooked them longer then they would taste better. I cooked the second batch and 350 for 15 mins. still didnt taste good. Third batch I cooked them at 375 for 20 mins lol, they came out crunchy(not burned, not even browned)but tasted better. If you like the way the look then try your own favorite sugar cookie recipe. These were fun to make and are more time consuming then most recipes but I thought they were easy. Im gonna make playdough cookies but use my own recipe.

Very fun cookie project! Yes, it is a lot of work, but can you imagine how these will go over at a party or a bake sale? We are taking them to a sporting event and the kids will go nuts!

Loved doing these cookies! My son thought they were great. I didn't use the sticks. Read in other reviews that they didn't have much taste, I added a lot of almond flavoring. They tasted awesome! Will definately make this again.

I agree with the review that the cookies tasted a bit "doughy"... but they were fun and colorful and the kids loved them so they passed all the major tests. Besides... it's better for me to have cookies that aren't a huge temptation anyhow!

I love these cookies! Super easy! Super fun! And they look so awesome! I made them for a Halloween party in orange and black and I kept having to refill the plate! I made them with Steeler colors for the super bowl and they were so perfect! They are a little crunchy which I don't mind, but I have put a piece of bread in the bag and it softens them up perfectly.

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!
