"A soft chocolate cookie. Adapted from The Pioneer Lady's Country Christmas. You may get more than 3 dozen; it depends on how big you make them. I usually leave out the cinnamon. You may also use less salt."

Made these cookies up the other day, & they got passed around every which way ~ Some right here for us to enjoy, some went to work to be shared by my other half, & some went to one of my other half's weekly meetings! Apparently thoroughly appreciated by everyone, too, & definitely by us here at home! ABsolutely great tasting cookies, & they weren't even made with chocolate chips or raisins! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

The reason I am only giving this Recipe 4 stars is because I ONLY used the glaze from the recipe. I did not bake the cookies. I used the glaze on top of a banana cake (I substituted dark chocolate powder for the cocoa powder) and it was AMAZING! I did this just this last Monday and I came on again today to get the recipe off again because I had to make it for my Grandmother's b-day party today!!!! Everyone I served it to loved the glaze. I may actually try doing it on the cookies one day soon but the pairing with the banana cake was AMAZING!
