Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    *If using plain yogurt, stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla to make frosting.
  • tip 2
    Using yogurt in both the cookies and icing greatly reduces the fat in these yummy, cake-like cookies.
  • tip 3
    If the icing is a little thick, stir in additional yogurt, 1 tsp at a time, until of desired spreading consistency.
