Instructions
Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.

On cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.

In 2-quart saucepan, melt 2 ounces chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter over low heat, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and hot water until smooth. (If frosting is too thick, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.)
