i must have a huge problem: i can't make cookies the size they're supposed to be. oh well. i got just over 100 of these. but they were awesome. so i had to nearly double the amount of glaze that becky wrote.
one note: they are better the second (and third, if they last) day after baking. the first day, mine were slightly crumbly and hard, but they totally softened up the next days. YUM.
