Edges will brown slightly. Cool for a minute and transfer to waxed paper. Cool thoroughly.
  • For an added touch: melt 1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate morsels or white chocolate pieces with 2 TBSP shortening and spread on the bottom of each cookie after thoroughly cooled. Store in cool place with wax paper between layers.
