Watermelon Cookies - the Easy Method image

Saw a picture of these cookies in the cookbook "Silly Snacks, Classroom Treats, Cookie Dough Fun" and thought they would be perfect for a barbecue. I've made them and they are tasty and folks think they are fun. Cook time does not include chill time.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding more butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
