I love the recipe BUT the label for diabetic friendly should be removed. Any recipe calling for 2 cans of ready made frosting that adds flour and sugar to the mix cannot be considered diabetic. But it is a very good recipe and definitely a keeper!

I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful cookies. I turn to these cookies every time I get a chocolate craving and they alwasy satisfy. I carry a copy of the recipe whenever I take them anywhere because somebody alwas asks for it. I use 1 can of frosting in the dough and not quite 1 can to frost them. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made these cookies but I baked them at 350 degrees for 8 minutes on my insulated cookie sheets. They turned out perfect and soft. I took them to work and I was told this was a "keeper" recipe.

Just wondering, how did you split the one can of frosting?  All in the cookies with no frosting on top, or what?  2 cans of frosting does sound awfully sweet to me.  Please let me know.  Thanks.

these are quick to make - just 4 ingredients. I only used 1 can of frosting and it was plenty.
