Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine all ingredients and mix for a FULL 10 minutes.
- Yes, I said a full 10 minutes!
- Mixture will start out very dry and crumbly but will become batter like after the full 10 minutes.
- I like to use my stand mixer for this, but a hand mixer will do the trick if it is a strong one.
- Drop from teaspoons or a piping bag onto a cookie sheet, I find teaspoons work best.
- Decorate with maraschino cherries or sprinkles if you feel fancy.
- Bake for approx 15 minutes or until bottoms are very lightly brown.
- Watch that the tops don't turn brown!
