These were so delicious! I am not a huge fan of sugar cookies but these came out perfect. Just make sure your butter is nice and mushy before using it. :) They looked and tasted like heaven. I experimented with different lengths of oven time, I started with 11 minutes in the oven and worked my way down to 7 minutes. I have to say, 8 minutes in my oven made them turn out perfect. When I sparkled sugar on them and put them on a platter (attached picture) it was too tempting to NOT take a picture with how pretty these are! I am going to use this recipe again and again, no doubt.

I substituted 1 cup cold milk for the coffee (didn't have the patience to brew coffee)! It turned out really delicious. It was nice and simple, but moist and decadent. I will use this recipe again, and I am putting it in my book of "great recipes I find on the internet". :)

I loved this recipe. For people who have had troubles, you really need to read through the directions carefully a few times, and have patience. They are simple, but if you're sloppy, they're sloppy. The coating didn't turn out to be perfectly smooth - it had more of a swirly texture to it - but that could have very well been a mess up on my part. I'm 16, and I love to make these when I have get together or study groups, and everyone loves them. I also like to try and use different cake/frosting mixes, for example, Red Velvet/Cream Cheese, White/Strawberry, and the Confetti mixes. I also found that making very thin cake layers, and then cutting them into quarters to crumble is much easier. I hope I helped. :)
