These cookies were a disappointment. The shortbread cookies were dry and the chocolate frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! I used dark chocolate chips in the frosting and it turned out great. The shortbread cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the overall flavor was still good.
