I made these at Christmas time, they turned out great and everyone loved them. But I made them with the Betty Crocker Red Cake cake mix. I used the "cookie scoop" - looks like an ice cream scoop. I am going to try these made with the Bisquick Mix, but also using my scoop. They really are good and with the Bisquick mix, I can make them different colors. Thanks

I tried this recipe last night and have to say I was disappointed. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but the dough was very thick! I made mine purple for a Superbowl party (Go Ravens!) at work. Mixing in the food coloring was very difficult, and I used the mixer even though it said to stir by hand. When I put the dough in the baggie to squeeze out, the bag busted...and any other kitchen gadget I tried didn't work. So I resorted to making small balls by hand, larger than they described. They definitely spread more than I expected, and I only ended up with about two dozen cookies (or 12 pies). The filling was good, and my son enjoyed. But I didn't feel confident sharing with my coworkers. :) Not sure I'll give this another try anytime soon.

Step 3 says to squeeze batter out of bag to make 100 1/2 inch circles. Will the dough spread to 2-3 inches or are these going to be tiny cookies? Unclear here. Please clarify. Thanks.
