Black and White Cookies

This is my first try making black and white cookies.  I used the recipe at http://www.browneyedbaker.com/black-and-white-cookies-recipe/ and I only had two problems with the recipe as it stands.  1: the cooking time was too short for my oven.  I extended the cooking time by at least 10 minutes, and they came out a little too hard.  2: the icing was too thick; it needed more water.  I used newspaper to catch the drips because it's cheaper than wax paper, otherwise I did it just as the linked recipe says.

My iced cookies don't look as pretty as store-bought, and the cookie itself isn't as spongy as the ones we get at the local market, but they taste very good.  They're so rich that you can't eat more than one, but they taste good.
