This is my absolutely favorite cookie. I have been making these cookies for years...same recipe, except, I do not press them after they are rolled into balls. I ALWAYS have to double the glaze in order to dunk every cookie. They look very sweet with all of the sprinkles, but are not overly sweet and they go great with coffee.
