Update: I recently made these with limeade and they were fabulous. Also want to try a lemonade version to see how they come out!

These are so good. Such a nice change from the typical "chocolate type" cookies I make. My husband specifically asked me to make these for a second time and I made a batch for a Christmas party a few weeks ago-- not one cookie was left! I would like to try this same recipe but with a can of limeade too...

I used to make these cookies quite frequently, but they sort of fell out of my repertoire in the past few years. I ran across the recipe and remembered how good they tasted. I made them again yesterday and they turned out as scrumptious as I recalled. Some of my family say they have a new favorite cookie!

This was a very easy recipe to put together.

I thinned out the frosting to make it more of a glaze which I liked. It is as tasty as a rolled sugar cooking, but much easier.
