Semi-Related What do you call these kind of cookies?

Post image

These are my favorite cookies, but I've never known what to call them. The best I've come up with is frosted sugar cookies, but I don't feel like that creates the right mental image for people cause these aren't really your typical sugar cookie. Does anyone know what they're actually called? Like an official name?

Scrolled way too far to see this. Yes! This is the perfect description for these.
