Melissa's Notes: These cookies are so good! And I love that they're different than any other cookie you normally make. My husband is a huge chocolate fan, and he says he loves these cookies just as much as his Mom's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies. Make it with or without the icing, they're great either way.
