I have no idea what a smiley face cookie tastes like and I don't want to know.
But for a good cookie that you can shape and frost, use a scotch shortbread recipe made with real butter. Do some testing. Sometimes you need to up the vanilla a little bit to get it to taste perfect.
There should be all sorts of recipes for that frosting on the web. I think it is just powdered sugar and milk, put it on and let it dry to a hard glaze.
