    The best thing about these cookies is reading all of the reviews. I'm so sorry y'all had such a time making them, but reading your words have put a real chuckle into my afternoon. I'll promise one thing- I am not going to make these cookies! Thank you all!

    I, like everyone else, thought this recipe had to be easy and good. Well, we were all fooled. I whipped up a batch stuck them in te oven and after a few minutes peeked at them- flat and greasy. No snowballs! So, I started to read the reviews and they all had the same experience. I have learned a lesson to read the review first. I wasted time, money and my cookie sheet trying this inedible gooey slop. I will admit, the only satsifaction was that I laughed so hard as I read the other reviews it made me forget what a mess the cookies turned out to be.

    You could only call the shape "snowball" if you mean snowball after someone has thrown it at a brick wall. While warm, the cookies were merely O.K., but once they set they were inedible.

    I tried these on a whim. Really, how bad could they be, I thought...sugar cookie with peppermint...no one could screw that up. Again, Sandra Lee has proved to be the worse recipe submitter/suggester on Food Network.

    I was looking forward to a quick and easy recipe. This one is a mess. They flattened out so much that they all glommed together, and becasue of the candies, stuck to the paper. My husband thought they tasted good, just looked ugly. Nope, I will not make these again!

    I have tried numerous recipes from different chefs on the Food Network website and have never been disappointed... Until now. This is by far the worst recipe I have ever made. First, while the cookies TASTE decent, the name of the recipe and the picture that coincides with it are deceiving. These are regular sugar cookies, NOT snowballs. They came out flat and not round and perfect as the picture suggests. In addition, adding the crushed candy to the dough prior to baking makes the cookies HARD and STICKY. Trying to eat these things is like trying to chew on cement paste. If you can get through the horrible flat look and the horrifying texture, you might enjoy these cookies. I might lie and say they are store bought just because I am so embarrassed to tell anyone I actually put time and effort into these things.

    Thought I had made a mistake, until I read the other reviews. Flat, greasy, totally inedible - straight into the garbage. ZERO star rating.

    I agree the others, I wish I had read the comments before I made these cookies. I usually buy the off brands or cheaper priced groceries. But since it said to make with Pillsbury, I thought I should go exactly by the recipe. Boy was I wrong!!!! I did exactly like it said, my first batch was horrible. So I decided to put the dough in the refrigerator to let get harder. That did not work either. I even measured my round balls to the 1' and read and reread the recpie to make sure I did exactly as it stated. I really feel something MUST have been left off, after reading the comments. Surely we are not ALL wrong. If you have to add flour or anything else to this recipe then how can it be Sandra Lee's recipe. I did not see the show when Sandra made these, I sure wish I had, because I still can not see what or how this went wrong. It should have been very simply like it says. Mine are so bad, we are going to eat them at our house, but I can not give these out like I intended to do. I will just go back to my old family recipes. I guess I learned a lesson, not to use anyone else's recipes, stick to what you know that will work. Please take this recipe off this site, yikes!!!

    I used the refrigerated cookie dough ICE COLD. Added 1/4 tsp peppermint extract and 1 large candy cane chopped into tiny pieces (even powdery. I mixed it on HIGH in my Kitchen Aid Mixer. Then I added 4 TBSP flour while it was still mixing. I rolled it back into a log, cut them and rolled into 1" balls. I cooked on parchment at 350 for 4 minutes. Then I sprinkled about half a large candy cane (chopped like before on top of the almost 48 cookies, rotated the pans in oven and cooked another 4-5 minutes. They did flatten & cool into perfect circles very quickly. I used a metal spatula to remove. My kids are loving them! I made them for a cookie swap tonight. Lets see if all my mom friends like them too.
    Thanks to all the 'negative press' this cookie got, I think mine turned out well for "semi-homemade". I do think Sandra needs to change this original recipe though. Gave this GOOD based on MY changes.

    I found that you can get excellent results if you take Paula Deen's Mexican Wedding Cookie recipe, substitute peppermint extract for vanilla, substitute crushed candy cane for the walnuts and otherwise follow Paula's recipe and increase the bake time by 10 to 20 minutes because of the ball shape. The cookies will not go flat, they will stay ball shaped unless you flatten them before baking, taste great and are super simple even though you made them from scratch. If you do flatten them, do not increase the bake time. I gave it 5 stars for the modified recipe.
