I give up on this one.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I have tried this twice. Personally, I don't think the taste is exceptional. And they are very difficultto make for being... store bought cookies. I have tried several different batches to see if I could get them like Paula's and appearance wise they just don't stack up. Not worth the effort. Will stick to Paula's homemade stuff. Read more

Yummy, but they broke!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These cookies were delicious, I used fudge- filled cookies instead of the mints ones and it tasted spectacular. The only... thing was that when I went to put them in a box the edges broke around the cookie...devastating! But kudos for the taste!Read more

what a mess!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

i made these exactly as directed. they tripled in size in the oven and got very thin and partilally dripped onto the oven... floor creating a smell and mess to clean up! i was very disappointed since they looked nothing like the TV version. i had to toss the whole thing.Read more

Husband Pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these Cookies for my Wonderful Husband who has to have a little sweetness before bed.I followed the directions Miss... Paula gave when I watched this episode but instead of using a mint cookie to fill the center I used a piece of homemade chocolate walnut fudge and they turned out so good. I know these are just slice and bake but hey are easy and quick,And my Northern Husband keeps asking me to make him more Wonderful Southern Dishes and Deserts.

Great Easy Cookie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thanks for this easy last minute cookie. My husband and his family just loved them and went on and on. A few that I did... not cut the sugar cookie dough as thin did spread a bit more but none are bigger that what you showed on the show. Read more

I'll stick to homemade!!!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I watched Paula with this recipe and thought it would really be easy! Well, no thank you - the cookies turned out terrible.... I am not a big fan of store bought cookies so that was a mistake in the beginning...then after I put the cookie in the middle and it baked....it just got worse. Sorry, Paula.....I love your recipes....but I'll stick to my homemade cookies.Read more
