Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

Note: Good Prep video for this recipe on website. Very helpful tips/suggestions from reviews of this recipe available on website.

*One reviewer suggested adding 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. What it does is to make the cookie crack better when baking which gives it a better appeal in appearance. It does not affect the flavor.
