Fantastic! Not too sweet, and not terribly difficult or time comsuming. In less than 2 hours, I had 2 delicious batches. Cookies are good with or without the glaze. It just adds a little bit of extra flavor. You could very easily use any flavor extract and even put a little food coloring in the glaze to make them festive. Next batch we're going to try almond flavor! Rather than spread the glaze, I made it a little thinner and dipped the cookies. Thanks for sharing Kim! This one is already a star in my dessert file!

These cookies are delicious! I didn't have any parchment paper, so I baked them on greased cookie sheets, and they still turned out moist and puffy! They were great even without the frosting, although I agree that it's a must, because with it they were spectacular! I think this will become a new family favorite!

These cookies were nice and light! So simple to make, too! No powdered sugar, so I didn't make the icing, but we ate them up just fine, anyway! Thanks for sharing.
