I tried making these but they just came out as blobs. Maybe I’m not cut out for baking…
Don’t worry! Baking can be tricky sometimes. Just keep practicing and you’ll get better! 💪
Greasy and weird. I don’t understand the hype. Butter overload!
I thought they were delicious! The butter is what makes them rich. Maybe you could try using less next time?
Why use almond extract and vanilla? Sounds like overkill! I just went for straight vanilla!
The green color is a must! I went a little crazy with it and they looked awesome! Taste was great too.
Too much almond for me. I like almonds, but not in every bite of cookie!
I totally get it! The almond extract can be a bit overwhelming. Maybe you could reduce it next time?
Yum! Perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors! I will definitely make these again! 🌟
I made these for Halloween and everyone loved them! So fun to make! 🎃
I dunno, the green coloring seems weird, ain’t it just for kids? 🤔
The flavor is nice but shaping them was a mess. My fingers looked better than the cookies! 😂
Uh, I added too much green coloring and they turned out like monsters! Fun to make though!
These cookies are a hit at my Halloween party! Everyone loved how creepy they looked! 👻
Thanks for sharing! These cookies sound perfect for Halloween, I wanna try making them too! 🎃
I dunno, the dough was really dry and I had to add extra butter. Not my favorite.
I had the same issue! Maybe let the butter get a bit softer next time? It helps!
Sounds like you’re not meant for baking! 😂 Just follow the instructions; it works for most!
My kids thought they were gross at first but then begged for more! 😂
I don’t think they taste like much. Just sweet and buttery. Kinda boring if ya ask me.
Sweet and buttery is what makes them classic! But I guess everyone has different tastes. You could add some spices to mix it up if you want more flavor.
I actually love the taste! It’s all about the presentation with these cookies. They’re perfect for Halloween!
Can I just say that these look freakin’ cool?! Def bringing these to my next potluck!
Spooky yet tasty! Great for a Halloween treat. Just made a batch and my kids are gobbling them up!
These remind me of a cookie my grandma used to make! Nostalgic and fun to make!
Just so so. I mean, they look cool but taste wise, ehhh.
These cookies are super fun for Halloween! I made them for a party and everyone loved them!
Honestly i just made it cause the name is cool. Tastes alright tho.
