These bright, sweet "ladybugs" brought me good luck when it came to pleasing guests. I frosted chocolate-covered marshmallow cookies to make the whimsical treats, and they turned out so cute I used them as part of my centerpiece. -Kendra Barclay, De Kalb, Illinois

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less sugar next time.
