I've tried this recipe several times, and I can never get the frosting right. It's always too runny.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a chocolate frosting instead of the cream cheese frosting, and they were still delicious.
