These are soft and rich and sweet and don't need any frosting! I first made balls of cookie dough from a scoop, so they would be the uniform in size, and then I chilled them in frig just a bit. This helps them hold their shape better when baking. There's a lot of butter in these, so they would have a tendency to spread out when baking before setting, so chilling helps prevent that.
