Drop by 1/2 tsps on a greased cookie sheet. Bake @ 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Yields : 100 cookies.
NOTE: I have never made mine as small as the recipe says, therefore mine have never been done in 8 min. I probably use about 2 tablespoons and they take 12 mins or so. Just watch carefully while baking.
