Difficulty level and why:  It was really easy.  The dough was very sticky so we refrigerated it for 30 minutes.  These cookies were softer and stickier than the cookies last week.  This does not require you to buy a $4 small container of pumpkin spice.

What the family thought: The parents thought the frosting was better than last weeks and the cookie was better last week.  The kids thought it was super good

Difficulty level and why:  These were easy to make.  The hardest part was zesting and juicing the key limes. The blog said they used actual limes instead of key limes.  The recommendation is to make the pockets as deep as possible.  The filling makes these cookies little pies.  We took the extra filling and poured it over the extra crushed graham crackers.  After that, mom licked the pan with the filling clean.

What the family thought:  They were good cookies.  Mom licked up the crumbs

Cream Cheese Snickerdoodles

 

Who picked it: Mom

Why did you pick it: I picked them because they sounded like amazing snickerdoodles.  I love snickerdoodles and cheese cake.  This sounded like the combination of the two

• Cool Man: 6

Difficulty level and why: This uses cake flour so be warned.  We did not use all purpose and I could not tell you the difference.  The dough is too sticky to use a cookie scoop.  The difficulty is nothing harder then a normal snickerdoodle.

What the family thought: The recipe doe not make enough.  Some could taste the cream cheese others could not.

What the consultant thought: I need the recipe now.

Overall score:5.7

• Cool Man 7

Difficulty level and why: Not too bad.  biggest challenge is separating two egg yokes.  Be warned the recipe said it makes 12 servings so we doubled it.  We made 6 dozen sandwich cookies.  The dough is also very sticky.  We also used lemon zest instead of lemon extract.

What the family thought: Kids liked it.  Mom was not a fan.

What the consultant thought: The cookies were good.  not everyone was a lemon fan

Overall score: 5.4
