I loved these cookies! I like soft cookies so these were perfect! I want to make another batch so that I can send them in the mail. I couldn't find my recipe for these cookies at Thanksgiving, so will be having them at Christmas! Thanks kitten! I used, at Kitten's suggestion,her http://www.recipezaar.com/Decorator-Cookie-IcingFrosting-That-Hardens-266529 and I think this is one of the very best icings that I've had.
