EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If your kids don’t like the cinnamon taste of the red candies, use the red colored mini candy-coated chocolate baking bits from a 12-ounce bag.

For a touch of whimsy, cut small pieces of black gumdrops and place one on each “tongue” to resemble a fly.

Mine do not look like the picture. Not sure how the cookies get green since they aren't frosted. I think the recipe needs more directions.
