Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Be careful not to overcook. When the bottom of a cookie is light golden brown, remove from oven. I have a bowl filled with confectioners sugar ready. It is important to roll the hot cookies in the sugar to absorb the sweetness. I then place the cookies in a tin and add more confectioners sugar on top. These cookies are very popular. I often double, triple or quadruple the recipe!
