Notes

One rounded teaspoonful makes a good sized cookie. Pay attention when baking as the cookies get thin on the outer edge. So you won't want to overbake. We baked these for 12 minutes but individual ovens can vary so pay attention to the top of the cookie. Once it no longer looks wet and the edges are browning they are finished baking.
