Notes

Make sure cookies are cold when they go in the oven so they bake evenly.

Take cookies out of the oven when they are just about 45 seconds from done because they will continue to bake once you take them out.

Store cookies in an air tight container at room temp when baked.

Cookies can be made smaller if you prefer. Just remember bake time will be different. For 1/2 ounce cookies: Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes.
