DEVIL'S FOOD COOKIES WITH FROSTING

Devil's Food Cookies With Frosting image

I got these at a cookie swap a few years ago and these have been among the favorite cookies in my family ever since! I believe the recipe may have come from Southern Living. I use canned frosting, zapped a few seconds in the microwave to speed up prep time. A favorite chocolate frosting, made with simisweet chocolate bits, can also be used.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them. They're always a hit when I need a quick dessert during the week.

These cookies are the perfect size for a party or potluck. They're small enough that you can eat a few without feeling guilty, but they're also satisfying enough to be a standalone dessert.
