OOOh that looks absolutly delicious!! 🙂
Great combo of flavors. Need to try these!
Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day! Off to share dessert with my hubby!
Look’s great! How many cookies does this recipe make?
I made these cookies tonight and they didn’t stick together at all. They were just a dry mess. Is the “1/2 stick” of butter actually a 1/2 CUP of butter? Has anyone else had success with this recipe?
I compared this to a similar recipe and I believe that 1 egg is missing from the recipe.

The recipe doesn’t say how long to bake these, but the other recipe that Lanikazi posted says to bake for 12 minutes and that worked well for me.
For the icing, how much confectioner’s sugar? I assumed that the 1/2 stick of butter meant 4 T. Consistency was fine. I haven’t finished baking the dough (did one batch and left the rest in the fridge) but I think this recipe will only be able to make a dozen and a half small cookies. First batch was a dozen and there’s really not a lot left for a second dozen.
