They are similar to lit..." See moretle cakes. Just AMAZINGly moist. The only diff. was I also added about 1/2 tsp. allspice. I always bake on silicone treated baker's parchment paper.

I turned over my cookies and dipped the tops in the icing.. Trying to drizzle over the cookies was way too messy!"
