I dont think I’ve ever made these cookies and had them last longer than a day! They are delightful in every way and can be easily altered to fit whatever mood you’re in. For instance, I was feeling frisky and altered the frosting from vanilla to peanut butter. The sky is the limit here. Enjoy them!

Notes
- Sometimes I like vanilla frosting, sometimes i like peanut butter frosting. To alter the forsting recipe, simply use 1/2 cup room temp butter, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and omit the vanilla exract.
- A textured baking sheet will help the cookies cook more evenly
- You can substitute butter or coconut oil instead of crisco. Same amout.
