Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 25 minutes. Do
not brown. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting: Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan. Add sugar and
cream. Boil for 1 minute. Remove form heat.
Beat until thick enough to stick to cookie. Dip the top of each cookie
into frosting and return to cookie sheet or wire rack to set until
frosting is firm. If frosting gets too hard to dip into, add a few drops
of cream.
