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'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The vanilla cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips add just the right amount of sweetness. The ladybugs are a cute touch, too. I'll definitely be making

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. I'm not sure what went wrong.
