Don't expect them to come out quite as perfect as in the picture, but that's OK. I had a time with the green dough; it rolled out very thin - I think you need at least a half cup. There must be 1,000 miniature chocolate chips in a third cup; you only need a couple of spoonfuls. Also slicing the cookies this thin is a challenge.

Put the middle of the floss underneath the roll of cookie, or whatever, bring the ends of the floss straight up, crisscross them, put the one in your left hand into your right hand and the one in your right hand into your left hand, and pull quickly. The action of the crossing floss creates a scissor type action and cuts the cookie without flattening it out.

Tried these for Vacation Bible School. I used margarine instead of butter and my dough was still soft after overnight refrigeration. Slicing was not easy. What have others used to slice the dough?

These cookies are very tasty and they come out super cute (even if they don't look "perfect").

These cookies are cute and tasty. Don't expect them to come out quite as perfect as in the picture, but that's OK. I had a time with the green dough; it rolled out very thin - I think you need at least a half cup. There must be 1,000 miniature chocolate chips in a third cup; you only need a couple of spoonfuls. Also slicing the cookies this thin is a challenge. You could make the dough roll a little longer for slightly smaller cookies and easier slicing.

I gave it an average because I like the concept but I could not get the dough to roll. It was very crumbly even after chilling.

Well, the directions are really goofy. It has you tint the entire mass red before you take out the part that is to be tinted green and of course you wouldn't have any white then.

These looked wonderful. I was worried at first that it wasn't going to make enough cookies, because the "log" is really short and stumpy, but if you slice them thin they make about 24 cookies.
