Okay, here it is. The recipe everyone has been asking me for. These are the cookies I've brought for the Primary twice. The picture above is raspberry and cocoanut flavored with shredded cocoanut in the dough. My favorite version.
The kids have asked when the next ones are coming.
October 30. Orange flavored, with the possibility of black frosting (that will also taste orange).

Chill dough for 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Don't overcook. They won't even be browned. Cool.

Beat all ingredients for 2-3 minutes. Add desired food coloring. Beat another 2 minutes.
Frost the cookies. Put in air-tight container for at least 3 hours before eating (to soften up nicely).
