Ratings (out of 7):

• Dad: 5
• Mom: 5
• Elyk: 5
• ZombieFace: 6
• Cool Man: 6

Difficulty level and why:  It has a few steps but not bad in putting everything together.  It is a very sticky dough that needs to be refrigerated.

What the family thought: The cookies were good.  The apple flavor needs to be stronger.  Make sure to pile on the streusel.

What the consultant thought: No one signed up

Overall score:5.4

Why did you pick it: They looked pretty

Ratings (out of 7):

• Dad: 2
• Mom: 2.5
• Elyk: 6
• ZombieFace: 5
• Cool Man: 6

Difficulty level and why: Lots of steps and multiple chilling of the dough.  We are still a little traumatized from the cardamom from the snickerdoodle party cookies.  These do have cardamom in them, just not to the quantity of the party cookies.  These are also sandwich cookies, there is that step also.

What the family thought:  Parents are not a fan of cardamom.  There was a lot of different tastes that turned out to be good.  We may have needed a stronger flavor jam, not sure.

Quarter 3 Predictions

Which cookie is going to have the best ranking this quarter

Dad: The favorite one will be the pecan skillet cookie for two reasons.  First we are inviting a family to our home to share it with.  Second, it comes with ice cream and caramel.

Mom: The best cookie is obvious!! White chocolate snickerdoodles will be the best

Elyk:  The white chocolate snickerdoodles will the best rating because they sound cool (and they are the family favorite).

ZombieFace: The pink lemonade cookie will have the best rating because it sounds good.  It is one of the only two cookies this quarter that looks really good

Cool Man:  The pink lemonade cookie will have the best rating because it is pink lemonade.  Pink lemonade is better than regular lemonade.

Which cookie will have the worst ranking

Dad: The cherry pistachio slice cookie.  They look and sound dry.  I don't think the kids are going to appreciate the different flavors.

Mom: Soft and chewy white chocolate cranberry cookies will have the worst rating because I will like them but no one else will

Elyk: The least favorite cookie will be the chocolate chip zucchini cookies because it is literally a waste of chocolate

ZombieFace: The chocolate chip zucchini cookie will be gross because I hate chocolate and zucchini and it does not sound good

Cool Man:  Soft and chewy white chocolate cranberry cookies will have the worst rating because I don't like cranberries.  Cranberries are not very good. ( I had to have him choose a different cookie so they were not all chocolate chip zucchini.)

1. The recipe should be shredded, burned, scattered, then nuked

2. This was a once in a lifetime taste, not to be repeated

3. These are cookies by definition

4. Good.  They would make it home to share with the family

5. Where do I place an order

6. I didn't get these cookies, can you send more
