I loved these cookies. I didn't make the chocolate part, just made the cookie, and then thinned the icing to make a frosting. They came out awesome!

We found that we needed more like 4 cups of flour and to chill the dough for an hour before it was able to be rolled out. The recipe as is makes more like a cake batter.
