EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Can't find orange creme-filled cookies? Vanilla-filled cookies work just fine. And if you'd like, you can use black licorice twists instead of the string. Cut the twists into 1 1/2-inch lengths, then cut the lengths vertically into thin strips.

A kitchen scissors works well for cutting string licorice. If the kids are helping, scrub clean their blunt-tipped scissors in warm soapy water.

I saw this recipe and thought it would be something that I could make for work that would be easy. It turns out that it wasn't as easy as I thought. I couldn't find the black licorice laces, so I had to use red. The icing inside the cookie wasn't soft enough to push the licorice laces in, so I has to open the cookie, spread some frosting, put the legs on, and close it back up. They turned out cute, in the end, but I was disappointed with the orginal recipe.
