The frosting definitely helps add something to the cookies (which are bland), but these still weren't something I'd make again. I originally followed the icing recipe exactly but it came out too liquid-y. I added at least 2 1/2 more cups of conf. sugar before getting a decent consistency. I then had 3 times the amount of frosting needed.
