  4. Bake the smaller cookies for 10-12 minutes and the larger cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies have lightly browned.

  5. The cookies will still be soft when you remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the pan completely.

  6. Prepare the frosting. Combine all of the ingredients into a small cup or bowl and mix with a spoon. Once the cookies are cooled off pour a spoon full of frosting on top on the cookies.
