You have to buy most of the stuff and you barely get to do anything with the cookies! This game needs some real updates. Plus, the cookies look creepy. I mean, it doesn't seem like a kids game to me, but its made for kids. ( I kind of actually like this game!) ### 3/5 — Fun *2017-04-13, version 1.1* My 3 year old granddaughter loves this. ### 4/5 — Ok......... *2017-03-25, version 1.1* It takes a while to load but other than that it is pretty good!!

Inappropriate ads. *2020-06-23, version 1.1* I downloaded this game to play with my almost 5 year old. It was cute, albeit a little cheesy, and she was enjoying putting the ingredients in the bowl, decorating etc. Then a State of Survival video game ad came on. Repeatedly. I’m not sure whose brilliant idea it was to match a violent shoot ‘em up video game ad with a cookie making app for young children but I have deleted it since I don’t feel comfortable with her playing unattended given the ad selection. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-01-31, version 1.1* This is soooo bad ### 1/5 — Why money??!!! *2018-07-03, version 1.1* Ok so this has happend to me a lot of times that I’m getting sick and tired that every game has to ask for money. Look I’m 9, and you guys have to understand that there’s alit of 5 and 6 year olds playing and they do not have have an allowance. So if you want money get a job cause nobody is going to pay $6.99 just for a dumb game with HIDEOS faces ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE. Don't waste your time! *2018-01-22, version 1.1* AWFUL, My poor daughter can't play this little game because of all the pop ups and ads that CONSTANTLY come thru! Terrible ### 1/5 — I do not like it *2017-12-29, version 1.1* It is like something you get at the 99 cents store . ### 1/5 — Great *2017-12-24, version 1.1* Awsome🙂 Great game it's really cute when the gingerbread dances ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2017-07-09, version 1.1* I downloaded it doesn't do anything it's just horrible don't waste your time or space on this dumb app ### 1/5 — The people look like artificial frick heads *2016-11-06, version 1.1* I think that the people look terrible. No cookies look like this. They also look like physcopathic killers. The smiles are too big, the eyes are hideous, so are ALL of the things on this game. Especially the clothes. Over all I think this game is fun to make fun .of. I LOVE THIS GAME. I chose the friends option, and I want the fake ugly killer to be my friend. One more thing, I want guns and knives to be a decoration option. I want the weapons as friend instead of cookies because the cookies are too peaceful and are just plain fricking idiots. One more request, I want knives in the cookies heads, and I want them to burn in the oven until they can't do that fricking ugly dance that you can make them do. Basically, um saying that I want this game to be a torturing game. And get the fricking game off the App Store, would you? (I secretly like this game. I play it all the time. I think it needs upgrades though) ### 1/5 — This is just AWFUL!!!!!! *2016-07-25, version 1* I hate this game it's so easy make it more challenging ### 1/5 — Rip off app.. Don't buy it *2016-05-10, version 1* I went on the App Store to find a game for my five-year old. She saw the gingerbread man and wanted it. There was no price listed so I made the rash assumption that the app was free. My bad. As soon as it was down-loaded, the price options popped up. I chose the $2.99 option. I am very skilled in technology. But I had trouble getting this app to work. Every time I hit the icon, I got a screen to purchase what I already bought. Then I keep on getting screens asking my 5 year old to rate the app. The only reason that I am bothering with this review is to hope that I won't be asked to rate it anymore. And do the developers of an app designed for 4 or 5 year olds expect to evaluate the app? How stupid can they be? There are too many free apps. Avoid my mistake and don't buy this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loveee *2021-03-07, version 1.1* I love it the making ### 5/5 — This is da best game *2020-12-06, version 1.1* It is so fun and it is Christmas 2020 rn and this is good for learning how to cook😇 ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-07-15, version 1.1* I love this game.It is really good to play.this game is great ### 5/5 — It's good *2017-11-15, version 1.1* It's a good app ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2017-10-07, version 1.1* My sister really enjoys to play this game ❣️ ### 5/5 — Desert *2017-09-17, version 1.1* I love this game it is not just fun but I tried the recipes and they work ### 5/5 — Miss *2016-12-26, version 1.1* Made me review ### 5/5 — Bs makes you leave review to even play *2016-11-25, version 1.1* Really a zero star ### 5/5 — This game is awesome! *2016-10-24, version 1.1* I love this game so much!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Jojo123 *2016-09-02, version 1* I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
