Another win in the books for the Bills.  One worthy of not one, but two victory treats.  These are a cookie version of little debbie cosmic brownies, one of my all time favorite treats as a kid.   instead of a ganache like topping, I went with a fudge frosting topping.   Not sure if love this frosting.  I may try a different chocolate frosting next time.
