This recipe was on Pinterest and I took it and changed it a little. They are very moist and the kids had fun frosting them. I am always looking for different cookie recipes since I make cookies a lot. I try to make all of the treats that my family eats since it is better then packaged cookies. I think this recipe is a keeper!
