• 9. Drop by small tsp (I use a small ice cream scoop with a release) onto lined cookie sheet. Then very lightly and flatten the dough. Not much. Just enough so you don't have a raised/pointed top. That way the cookie will bake evenly.

• 15. You can also make a glaze of 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and a tsp of milk. If it's not thick enough, just add a bit more powdered sugar. You can use this to drizzle over the cookies to make them appear a little fancier.
