When I made these rich butter cookies for a neighborhood event, one neighbor thought they were so attractive that she kept one in her freezer for the longest time so she could show it to friends and relatives. -Sue Ann Benham, Valparaiso, Indiana

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. The log is probably 3 1/2 inches in diameter- not length. Hasn't anyone corrected this?

This was a hit with both adults and children. I used mini chocolate chips instead of the raisins. I over heard one boy tell his mom "You have to make these sometime".

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. The taste was ok, but not the best. I was really happy with how nice they looked though. I brought them to school and got so many compliments! Everybody wanted to take a picture of the amazing watermelon cookies! Some kids even thought they were actual watermelons!

It was a little confusing to figure out the measurements on rolling out the dough but I figured it out. They taste so good and they are gorgeous! Fun recipe. I shouldn't have put off doing this for so long. It was intimidating. *pats herself on the back*
