Expert Tips

Lift cookies to a cookie sheet with a wide metal spatula that's at least as wide as the cookie so the cookie doesn't lose its shape.

Just a thought for all bakers on this one... Im in the process of making these right now with my daughter. What my instinct is telling me is to add a little more flour to thicken the dough. I mean really... the cookie will still be sweet enough with all of the toppings that will be added! So.. YES... we will be happy with the outcome!

was looking forward to these, but so far not impressed. The dough as made per these instructions is far too wet. We can hardly roll it out and if we do cut one out, it is so soft you can't lift it off of the counter without losing shape. Will try throwing in refrig. overnight and try again tomorrow.

Haven't tasted these yet - but good thing I thought to refrigerate the dough for a while, before rolling it out. By the time I had cut about 6 cookies, the dough is so soft that they aren't holding their shape when removed from the cutting surface. So I'm sticking the dough BACK in the fridge and we will see what happens next...so far though - not very impressed. :(
