  1. Does the isomalt bother your stomach once it’s hardened? How much is ok? Or will they look too amazing to actually eat?
    (I just ask bc I have a child with a sensitive stomach)
    Thanks!!!

    1. Hi!! Excellent question. Hate to be the bearer of less-than-wonderful news, but yes, as noted above, eating the isomalt in even moderate quantities can result in “gastrointestinal distress” (am very thankful to *NOT* have learned this from personal experience, and just from researching before making these guys!!). I hope that’s helpful, if depressing. If you’re worried about kids eating them (and not just eating the cookie around them!), I suggest using clear mints instead. The final product won’t be quite as crystal clear, but it’ll get the job done and taste great! I believe I linked more info about that within the post. Feel free to DM me on Insta with any further questions! Xx

  2. I just love these cookies and would like to make them for a Chabad Purim party. Are all the sprinkles you use certified kosher?
    Thank you,
    Bonnie

    1. hi Bonnie!! I’m so sorry for my delay. I don’t believe they are – I’m kosher style, not fully kosher. but I’m sure you can find similarly beautiful kosher options; please let me know if you have any success with that and feel free to report back with a new brand!

  3. Wanted to do this for a kids party – 6 year olds. Can they decorate these after assembled? Would royal icing be a good idea ?

    1. love that! just be careful because the isomalt is very dangerous (it’s molten sugar) and can’t be poured around children, so i’d have the cookies premade if i were you. definitely would be fun to decorate, and royal icing would work perfectly. enjoy!

  4. You have one batch listed in your instructions, but you only made 3 total groggers. Did you have dough left over? I want to make these with my daycare class but I don’t know how much dough I would need. What would you recommend?

    1. I wouldn’t recommend this with a daycare class because the molten sugar is really dangerous, and yes! only 3 total cookies from all that because each finished “grogger” is constructed from three cookies, plus a handle. apologies for the late reply!
