I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I can make them a few days in advance and then just store them in the refrigerator until I'm ready to serve them.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover frosting. I always have extra frosting after I make a cake or cupcakes, and these cookies are the perfect way to use it up.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier option than traditional cookies, but they're still just as delicious.
