frosted nickerdoodles
The mechanics at work were getting bored with my basic chocolate chip cookies I’d bring in to them (ungrateful, I know!). So one wanted snickerdoodles and one wanted frosted sugar cookies so I made a compromise. These taste like the middle part of a cinnamon roll!

Step 13Add 3 cups powdered sugar and mix well. I spread it on my bars while they were still warm to make it easier. Then refrigerate until frosting is set.
