NOTES

Step 9

Be careful not to over bake. Remove cookies after 11-12 minutes. Baking longer may mean that they harden as they cool. Let cool on a cookie sheet for one minute then move to rack to finish cooling.

Tips from Mom and Paige: Don’t press down too much, just lightly flatten the tops. If you use the big crystal sugar only sugar the tops.
