I saw a box of cookie mix on the shelf at Aldi that said "Giant Cookie Kit". The box showed a picture of a decorated pumpkin shaped cookie. Having 2 grandkids (age 3 & 4) that were coming to spend the day I thought it would make a cool project for them to do. I (assumed) there was going to be a large plastic cookie cutter enclosed with the product, but what I found instead was a piece of parchment paper with a pumpkin design printed on it. I was disappointed, but we made the best of it. They had fun mixing the dough by hand and I helped to shape the design. I set the timer for the least amount of time recommended (8 min) but the cookie came out brown and crispy, At least they had fun spreading the frosting and the sprinkles onto the cookie, but as excited as they were to have a piece of the cookie they were done after one bite. I feel it was a waste of money and am very disappointed. The name Betty Crocker on the box led me to believe it would be a quality product, but found that it was not as expected,    -
