Notes

*Freeze cookies WITHOUT frosting.
You can definitely make 24 smaller cookies to lessen the calories. Just bake for about half the time!
These cookies are SUPER moist. I like storing these in an airtight container in the fridge. You can keep them at room temperature, but then I'd store them on an open plate or else they get too moist.
