Reese's Pieces Cookies

Today I made Reese's Pieces Cookies, from scratch. They are drop cookies. The recipe says it makes 3 doz, but I only came out with 2 doz cause I made them kind of big. I found the recipe online, cooks.com or something. It's the only reese's cookie recipe I could find (well I didn't search that hard). My mom says they taste like light brownies, I think they're pretty yummy!

1 c. confectioner's sugar
3 tbsp. Hershey's cocoa

Stir in 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces candy. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes until set, but not dry. Cool slightly, remove to rack. Frost cooled cookies with chocolate frosting, decorate with remaining 1/2 c. Reese's Pieces. About 3 dozen cookies. Frosting: Combine sugar and cocoa, set aside. Cream butter in small mixing bowl, add cocoa mixture alternately with milk, beating to spreading consistency. Blend in vanilla.


*Also, I did not make the icing, because they were good all on their own.
