The Ultimate Dessert
This is a cinnamon sugar cookie with frosting and hot fudge drizzle. I made this ultimate dessert with a wonderfully rich vanilla frosting. I have no idea what I was thinking. Its almost too sweet. Even for me. However, right after hubby ate one, he asked me, "What was that?" I explained it to him in great detail and he just sat there looking at me. Uh oh. Then he said, "That was by far the best thing I have ever tasted in my whole life. Better then any cake or cookie or cheesecake. Amazing." That is a big compliment from my non-sweet liking husband. I think I WILL be trying this again. :)
