Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
So, pay careful attention to the detail of: ONE LEVEL TEASPOON THREE INCHES APART. These babies spread like a wildfire. I thought for sure I had made them small enough and spaced them far enough until I looked in the oven and to my surprise I just about had one sheet of a cookie rather than 12 individual ones. Next time I make them I will definitely heed that note. Not that giant cookies aren't fun, I was just looking for more of a dainty cookie instead. They were gobbled up nonetheless.
