These were very time consuming -- which I knew they would be ahead of time. That's not what I'm complaining about. My cookies looked nothing like the ones in the picture. I more than doubled the amount of red food coloring, and still wound up with pink cookies rather than red ones. Also, it is rather difficut to make slits in one-inch balls of dough that are spaced one-inch apart other one-inch balls of dough on a baking sheet. My cookies did not flatten like the ones in the picture, but stayed in more or less the shape of a ball. I had to bake much longer than the recipe instructed. The end result was a very unattactive, and not too tasty cookie. I didn't even bother with the yellow dots. No one raved about these cookies. One friend said, "I kind of liked them," and I gave him the remainder of the batch. Maybe I did something wrong? I followed the recipe to a T. I might try them again next Christmas to find out for sure.
