Preparation

Step 1

Drop by teaspoon on lightly greased cookie sheets (I don't usually do this, depending on the quality of your baking sheets). Do not flatten.

Bake 8 minutes at 350 degrees until the bottom of the cookies are light brown. These are soft cookies, so don't over bake.

Yields about 6 dozen cookies.
