These are a delicious cake like cookie, with a wonderful Mocha frosting, which I have used for many different desserts. This recipe comes from a Taste of Home magazine of mine. I have made these cookies more times than I can remember. Always loved by family and friends. I changed the recipe just a bit to my liking. Photo belongs to ToH Enjoy!.

Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost cookies. I sometimes sprinkle the tops with fine chopped nuts.
