Chocolate Frosted Peanut Butter Cookies
"You don't need a mixer or a piping bag for this light, fluffy, easy chocolate frosting that you whisk together with melted butter, cocoa powder, and confectioners' sugar. The cookies are perfectly soft yet have enough chewiness to satisfy without being crunchy or crumbly; don't overbake. Err on the side of pale, glossy, and underdone looking if in doubt. Peanut butter and chocolate is an unbeatable combination and these were gobbled up in no time...."
