I made these for my three young grandsons and they turned out cute. The only thing I would recommend different is the shaping of the ears. I found it easier, (after the first few cookies) to simply cut the circle cookies after baking. Just allow the cookie a few minutes of cooling time. Any cut away cookie did not go to waste it was enjoyed by those three grandsons!

Love it, made for a Halloween Bash. Fun and simple. I used the flour to press and shape cookies. I agree the recipe was not clear, but any good baker should know that.

These are adorable, but the recipe gets one star for faulty directions and editing. ..Where is the 1/4 cup flour used?? Is it just to dust the hands while shaping the cookies before baking?
