Warning: These cookies are not for the faint of heart. Dieters beware. Anyone with an aversion to butter cover up your eyes.
One cup. One full cup of butter in these bad boys. And there’s more where that came from in the icing too. But they look so gosh darn cute!
The first batch..I really wanted heart shaped cookies, but unfortunately, I don’t have a heart shaped cookie cutter. So I used a knife to shape each of these love cookies.
Cookie number two was for the twizzler lover. Luckily I had a cookie cutter for this (WAY too lazy to individually cut every cookie into a shape again)
Cookie number three was my excitement coming through because I just bought a super jumbo size bag of chocolate chips. It’s HUGE I tell you! Barely fits in my cupboard!
Cookie number four…Well I keep getting lazier and lazier and just made tablespoon cookies, no cookie cutter required. And just topped it with coconut, maybe because my affair with coconut is one that will last till dooms day. No one I know likes coconut. Sad, but this means more for me :p
Now cookie number five. I have just discovered how much I LOVE grated chocolate. So that is what I did.
And of course, since this makes a ENORMOUS amount of cookies, I ran out of icing, so just left most of my cookies plain

I love how you got lazier throughout. But in seriousness, plain simple ones are great too! I'm so incredibly jealous of your mahoosive bag of chocolate chips. The biggest they do here is a teeny bag. So frustrating to have to buy more.
