  1. These cookies are not very flavorful, actually they are blah tasting and the frosting tastes like Crisco and vanilla. I would not make them again.
     
  2. Mmmm! These are great cookies! The frosting is so good that I've decided to use it on my Christmas cookies this year. Thanks for sharing!
