- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray, if using, or possibly line with parchment paper. Set aside.

- For each cookie, place 1/4 c. of batter on a baking sheet. Use a knife or possibly offset spatula to shape each cookie into a 4 to 6-inch circle; don't flatten. Space the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake till light brown around the edges, 18 to 20 min. Cold the cookies completely on wire racks.
- For the Frosting: Place the powdered sugar in a large bowl. Gradually add in sufficient of the boiling water, stirring constantly, till the mix is thick and spreadable. Remove half of the frosting to a double boiler set over, but not touching, simmering water and add in the chocolate. Hot the mix, stirring, till the chocolate is melted and the frosting is smooth. Remove from the heat.
- When cookies are cold, turn the cookies to frost the bottoms. Using a knife or possibly offset spatula, coat half of each cookie with chocolate frosting and the other half with white frosting. Repeat till all cookies are done.
- This recipe yields about 22 cookies.
