  10. Bake for 7-8 min
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes until transferring them to a cooling rack 
  12. For the frosting, combine everything in a bowl until all mixed together (it is easier to slowly add the powdered sugar while mixing) also make sure the butter is softened
