Thanks for posting these, since I made these at a cookie party and someone STOLE my recipe I always have to search for this one. I always keep a bag of sugar cookie mix on hand to make these!

I got this recipe off the Betty Crocker website and it is a huge hit!!! Even my extremely picky son loves them. Only thing I do different is I don't add as much milk to the glaze to make it a little thicker. But these are absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!
