Great cookies! Very much like a commercial cookie that we occasionally buy here. Be careful not to overmix the batter, I think I did and my cookies were a little tough. Also, I baked the first batch for 11 minutes and the bottoms were browned which made the cookies a little tough so I baked the rest for a shorter time and they were much better. Finally, I will cut down on the butter in the icing next time because it tasted too much like butter. Overall a great recipe though, thanks for sharing!

These cookies were amazing!!! My co-worker had this look of total amazement on her face while eating one. She asked for the recipe immediately. I make one mistake with the ingredients though. I thought I had read 1 cup of margarine which I used, but it's only a 1/2 cup. They still turned out incredible. I didn't frost them, just sprinkled some white sugar on each cookie before baking. I can't say enough about these and will be making them often!! :)
