Don't let the crazy name fool you-- these are the BEST cookies. I can't believe this recipe (under this name) is online! My mom cut this recipe out of a newspaper in south Georgia over 20 years ago, and my family has been making these cookies ever since. They are spectacular. I don't know that we've ever made them that someone didn't ask for the recipe. They are very simple (basically brown sugar cookies with powdered sugar icing), but so good. Try these, and you won't be disappointed.
