I wanted to try out a new chocolote cookie recipe that I found on the internet (thank you LilaLoa!) and I also wanted to try out a buttercream recipe for the icing. I LOVE the taste of buttercream, and I loved working with this icing, even though it doesn't dry as quickly as the icing I usually use. I think I am going to keep playing with the recipe until I get it right, because the taste is delicious. :) I made these just for practice, so I decorated them with the initials of Jake's and Noah's teachers at school.....so they'll have a nice little treat on Thursday. :)
