You may not think that this is a Thanksgiving side, but I'm assigned to bring this to every Family get together, Thanksgiving, Christmas, you name it. Suppossedly they are low-fat, (not the frosting) but they are way too yummy to believe it. I have to quadruple the batch every time. Tip *set out your butter for the frosting before making the cookies

I made five cookie sheets of these for primary and they were really good! Nice and moist and fluffy. I didn't make the frosting though so I will have to try that next time!
