Instructions
- preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- add the cookie ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine until a thick batter forms. use a small ice cream scoop, about 2 tbsp worth of dough and evenly distribute onto a parchment lined baking tray.
- with ever so slightly wet hands, press down to flatten dough into a cookie shape.
- bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and then let the cookies cool down completely.
- mix the icing ingredients together, top the cooled down cookies, place in the fridge if you would like for 20 minutes so the icing hardens.
- store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container and enjoy.
