If you've ever made stained-glass window cookies at Christmas, you can make these. While the cook time is obviously wrong, I think a lot of the other reviews complaining about crushing the jolly ranchers and the tuna can stem from unfamiliarity with this type of cookie. I've made stained-glass cookies since I was a child, and you learn what works and what doesn't. Jolly Ranchers do work better than any other candy I've come across. Also, this cookie recipe is designed so that your cookies are thin/flat. If you substitute a thicker sugar cookie/spice cookie recipe, you're asking for the holes to close and distort.

When making any thing from a written recepie there are several ways that one can change, mix and or replace cirten ingredient. My advice, dont worry so much about what you dont like. Instead think about what you do like, For example if you dont like the idea of useing a tuna can than you could use a fruit cam, clear plastic bottle,or a cheap round cookie cutter that has the same cercumferance as the tuna can and bend that to look like the ghost that you want. If the recepie requires too much change than maybe you should find another that is closer to your own personal taste.

Simple Fixes Are No Big deal, unless you make them so.

The overall flavor of this dough was pretty good. However, it was very difficult to roll. It fell apart, and took forever to finally get 24 halloween cookies out of it. Next time i will use my own cookie dough recipe, and just add the different spices to get this flavor of the spice cookie.

I made these cookies last year for my friends daughters birthday party... I thought they were very good and tasty, and were gone in no time. I followed the recipe, less cooking time, no stick and for the icing, I used a pre bought white frosting and piped stripes onto the cookies to make them look like a mummy..... I broke the candy up in a sandwich baggie and mixed colors.... It made them look very cool.

The cookies are garbage. And the Tuna Can?? Can't say I tried. Who thinks of using an old Tuna can as a cookie cutter. Have you ever tried making a tuna can smell like anything but old tuna?

This is the first time I have ever made a recipe without reading the reviews first, and oh what a mistake that was. My six year old niece and I made sugar cookies and this recipe. The Jolly Rangers did not work that well, and were more trouble than the effort was worth. Iin the end, my niece (remember she is six years old, tells me: "Oh yes, these are tasteless. You keep those." I agree with previous reviewers that someone did not test this recipe. Baking 20 minutes was way too long, and trying to fill in small hot holes with the bits of candy was not easy. Too much trouble for too little result.

The time to bake the cookies should have been about 8 minutes and the time to set the candy should have been a minute or less. I had double or maybe triple the amount of frosting needed based on the recipe. The cookies are cute but tasteless. I baked them for 10 minutes instead of the 20 minutes as directed and they are still hard. Did anyone at Food Network test this recipe before publishing it? This was an expensive experiment.
