Amazing French Toast Cookies (GF)

I LOVE french toast. And, I love cookies. So I thought why don't I combine the two? These amazing french toast cookies are the result! Soft dough is rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked in the oven until the dough puffs up and becomes a light airy cookie. Then, the cookies are drizzled with vanilla icing and topped with fluffy, sweet, and buttery french toast pieces. Sounds like the perfect cookie, right?
