You’ll need just four items to whip up these delightful cookies. Confectioners’ sugar highlights the cracked tops to give them their snowflake appearance. —Linda Barry, Dianna, Texas

The ingredients in the recipe are all chemicals. Come up with a cookie using real food. Surprised you would include this.

My family & kids's friends love them. I don't love making them (the sticky dough is not fun to work with), but I do for them. They have an unique texture.

Really don't know why everyone is raving about this recipe ?! This was just ok. Won't be making this again ! Cookies made from scratch are much better!!!!

Frist time I made them they were too sweet; however, second time I made them I substituted the whipping topping with sour cream, much better.

The cookie trifecta: easy to make, very tasty, and soft and chewy!

I have not made these cookies but if you were to use Reynolds non stick foil they would slide right off. I use it for all my cookies.

I just made these with Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake mix, 15 oz, (one of my friends can't have Gluten) and OMG what nice cookies, great flavor. Of course, you can't go wrong with Chocolate. Cooked 11 minutes and soft like the top of a cup cake like someone had said. I always bake cookies on parchment paper. I wet my fingers and it was easier to roll the mix in a ball. I got 45. Next time I will try to refrigerate dough for 1/2 hour like someone said. This is a keeper
